Co-Creating a New World

working with nature

There is no question that our current way of living is out of alignment with Nature. We are already seeing the great impacts of our culture on Earth and our relatives (human and more-than-human). At the same time, we know that something is missing, which is evident in the amount of depression and addiction in our society.

While there are many paths and possibilities, if we want to survive and thrive, we need to work with our more-than-human kin in co-creative partnership. We engage in co-creative partnership when we communicate, listen, and learn with our more-than-human relatives who have so much to teach us.

Each of us has Ancestors, no matter how distant, who once lived as part of Nature. The memory of this connection lives on in our DNA. We feel the memories stir when we enter a forest, play in the ocean, or delight in the beauty all around us. These moments awaken a deep yearning for communion.

Our more-than-human kin want to welcome us back into the family. While some may understandably be trepidatious, others are excited to work with us to create a better future for all. As we learn to work together with our more-than-human kin, new possibilities arise.

Together we co-create the world of our dreams . . .
