In this episode of Root + Rise, we explore animism â not as an abstract concept, but as a living, embodied worldview rooted in relationship. Animism teaches that all life, all phenomena, are ensouled and conscious â from planets and plants to our organs, emotions, and symptoms.
Rohini Walker shares how this ancient, earth-honoring perspective is not only central to Indigenous and ancestral traditions across the globe, but also offers a powerful antidote to the disconnection, fragmentation, and spiritual wounding of modern life. We look at how symptoms can become messengers, how the wisdom of the body speaks in sensation, and how deep listening can begin the work of soul-body re-membering.
This is a call to return â to wholeness, to reverence, to the rhythmic stream of life that runs through all things.
And if you're interested in diving deeper through re-storying your life with embodied imagination, summer enrollment to Rohini's membership space, Root + Rise is open through midnight PST on June 30th.
