An Ecology of Wonder.

Two visionary philosophers come together to share their passion for the animate Earth we all inhabit—this huge, encompassing body woven of soil and leaf and breath, of antler and river and thunderstorm. A magic and majestic place that holds us all together in an embrace of mystery, gravity, and light.

Join us for a conversation about wildness, the human animal, shadowed beauty and the shifting weather. Let’s tap into the earthly imagination, and a new shape of the sacred now struggling to be born. As we wake up to the plight of the planet, wounded by the excesses of our species, one thing is clear: Now, more than ever, we need to come together to inspire each other with wisdom learned from listening to the deep intelligence of the natural world.

We’ll rekindle the forgotten intimacy between language and the land—blending poetry, heart, and spirited intelligence to explore the difficult wonder of our creaturely life in the depths of a breathing planet.
