My Story

Over the past one and a half years, my adventures in Nature have prompted me to re-assess my values and beliefs. I have come to learn more about what it means to be whole within ourselves, among each other, and with the more-than-human world. And I have become convinced that everything is deeply interconnected. Yet, the way in which societies across the world have been interacting with the more-than-human world is indicative of anything but kinship. We are deeply estranged from the natural world, primarily viewing our earthly home as a place to use, to extract from, and to exploit.

I believe that a spiritual shift is needed, one where we move away from a paradigm of separateness and competitiveness to a paradigm of community and connection.

I wish to make a contribution in bringing about this shift through poetry performances and the cultural practice that I am exploring to build in the form of a Reverence Walk. Language is a common thread in all of this. I am interested in how language, as a social practice, behaves across the emotional and ecological landscapes that we inhabit and how it can invite reflection, reverence, and ultimately, revolution.
