Animate Earth 2024 Confluence

In Memory of Stephan Harding

Animate Earth 2024 Confluence Recordings

In the late Summer of 2024 our dear friend and mentor Stephan Harding, author of Animate Earth, passed away.
 
It is Stephan’s pioneering and courageous work to build a bridge between science and the felt experience of the natural world that has so inspired many of us and the work that we now continue in his name. His insights have been foundational in our work on contemporary animism, and in our quest to remember and know again, as our ancestors and many indigenous peoples around the world still do, that all life is intelligent, evolving and communicating together, in a great collaboration that is animate earth.
 
We will miss him very much. 
 
Some of the recordings he made with us are below

Over the next few weeks we will be releasing full interviews with some of his friends and colleagues featured as snippets in this year’s Annual Confluence. Please keep an eye on this page and sign up to our newsletter to receive notifications.
 
Stephan’s last writing, a magical and animistic perspective on the water cycle, a short story of ‘The Water Dragon’ is being illustrated by land-artist and rainmaker Hanien Conradie and designer Chevon Beckley. We are collecting donations to cover their time and the publication of the book.
