Skill in living, awareness of belonging to the world, delight in being part of the world, always tends to involve knowing our kinship as animals with animals...our fellowship as creatures with other creatures, things with other things.
Ursula K. Le Guin

Join us for an online workshop and audio walk exploring the living beings at our doorstep: tiny mosses, invisible mycelium, and (almost) immortal lichen. Recognising them and other critters as our kin, and noticing their cooperation might enable us to learn something new together.

In this online workshop, we will collectively develop an awareness of the more-than-human worlds around us. Practising attentiveness to life at all scales, we will see what other ways of knowing, doing, becoming and relating can be possible when we detach ourselves from an anthropocentric perspective. As part of the workshop, we will go on an audio walk and make kin with mosses, soil, fungi, trees and rocks, turning our local ecologies into a shared dwelling for everyone.

Hosted by Alen Ksoll, Jamie Allan, Ko-Fan Lin, Sina Ribak.
