Description

This delightful episode is all about Divine Animacy. Dive in as Jenny and Phil explore a "greener, plushier, spongier ways of being," (you'll understand this description as you listen). Also, not all that surprising, there is again an ode to trees in this week's episode and an invitation to understand life more as verbs and less as nouns.

Questions to consider:
When we recognize our connectedness to all things, how might our lives begin to shift?
How have you experienced the relational, interconnectedness of creation? Humans, and beyond.
If animism is an invitation into curiosity and less about clear definitions, what are you curious about?

As is often the case, Jenny and Phil reference many things in this episode, such as:

• Fluent by: John O’Donohue
• Shoutout to Grand Mere State Park
• All of Sophie Strand’s work
• Braiding Sweetgrass by: Robin Wall Kimmerer
• Walter Bruegemmann
• Deuteronomy 20 - Rules of Warfare: save the trees
• Tree Disparity in Lower Income Neighborhoods
• Jenny’s foraging has been inspired heavily by Alexis Nikole Nelson
• Ways of Being by James Bridle
• Instructions for Living a Life by Mary Oliver

Just a note. We recorded this episode a couple months ago. You'll hear ideas, quotes, and references from previously released episodes that were birthed in this episode. Time isn't always linear.
