Remember a world that is alive and ensouled,
an animate earth where everything has place,
purpose and meaning, and all life is sacred

Animate Earth

Animism is more than a worldview; it’s a way of being that fosters reciprocity with the Earth. By seeing the world as alive and ensouled, we cultivate ecological awareness and a profound sense of belonging. At Animate Earth, we believe this perspective is vital for addressing today’s environmental crises and rediscovering joy in our interconnectedness. Join us for conversations, retreats, and rituals that celebrate the magic and soul of the animate Earth. Together, we can weave a future where all beings are honored as kin.

An Animist Collective

Animate Earth brings together some of the leaders in animistic understanding. Magicians, Indigenous wisdom keepers, storytellers, myth keepers, bards, poets, artists, shaman, ceremonialists, academics, philosophers, diviners, ritual keepers, elders, embodiment practitioners, geomancers, farmers and stewards of the land come together in conversation about the future of our remembering and our place in the web of life.

We invite you into this collective remembering of the sensuous nature of living in an animate world and our relational responsibility to our other-than-human kin.
 
Through online courses and talks and in-person retreats and workshops we are growing a community of people dedicated to life in the direction of beauty.
