INSPIRATION
“For 99% of our existence, we saw ourselves living in a web of relationships with air, water, land, the sun, and other species. And in that web, we were one small strand, so we understood that we were dependent on everything else. We have come along, and we’ve shattered the web and made it into a pyramid where we’re at the top, and everything down below is for us. And our actions in this pyramid are now driven for economic, political, and legal reasons that are founded on this idea of us being at the top instead of being in a web. And that’s the real crisis, I think. We’re still arguing about climate change as if it’s an economic problem.” – David Suzuki

“Our most urgent initial task then is to develop and cultivate an active-receptive awareness of the entire arc of our embodied experience, re-awakening and re-inhabiting all our senses and their affective, intuitive and imaginal resonances. It is the living fabric of our sensing body that is exquisitely attuned to nature and invites us into immediate empathic encounter, participation and communion with the living earth.” – Thomas Berry
