Necessity

We are a planting species. For thousands upon thousands of years, humans have tended to ecosystems, and perhaps our most substantial partners in that co-creative relationship were, and still are, plants. Matters of regeneration and rewilding are immensely necessary to help the living world — and by extension, us — survive the onslaught of civilization. But rekindling and nurturing an abundant, emergent relationship with plants and ecosystems is also necessary for us to express that innate, deeply human part of themselves that has worked intimately with plants for millennia. On this final call, we’ll gather to appreciate how essential an ecomaximalist world is. Ultimately, we can begin to ask: How can we learn to see and empower the living world differently?
