an animate earth where everything has place,

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.
