TOPICS/ ANIMISM

 

BROADEN YOUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE WEB OF LIFE. EVERYTHING AROUND YOU IS LIVING AND PRECIOUS.


 

Witches view nature as teacher.

Animists view nature as relative, as kin. When we braid these understandings together, our relationship to the world expands in profound ways. Nature isn’t something external to humans, enacting phenomena upon us. We are nature. We co-create our experience within the web of relationships that link us to everything else.

Our approach to animism is implicit to our work and our mentoring methodology. It is not a single session or a panel of educational ideas that we present. Rather, it is the constant thread that connects all of our lessons and practices. It is this worldview that underlies all the topics we study. You will be presented with numerous animist practices and theories to help you center yourself within your own cosmology, or perspective on the world.

It is an ongoing conversation throughout the mentorship.

ANIMISM

 

ANIMISM IS DEFINED AS A WORLDVIEW THAT EVERYTHING IN THE UNIVERSE IS ALIVE AND SACRED. ANIMISTS PERCEIVE ALL THINGS— ANIMALS, CREATURES, PLANTS, WATER, FIRE, AIR, MINERALS, EVEN LANGUAGE AND MANUFA TURED OBJECTS AS ANIMATED BY LIFE AND THEREFORE KIN TO HUMANS.
