One of the most important truths we can awaken to is our shared consciousness with the other-than-human world. We are not alone as conscious beings on this planet, and if we believe that we are, it’s a sign that we are the lost ones—we’ve forgotten our place in the web of of consciousness that weaves together all life.
In a world that pays little attention to the conscious lives of animals (much less that of plants or elemental nature), it’s imperative that we remember that other beings are sentient, and that our fates are intertwined with theirs. Our perceived separation from them is not only false, it’s damaging; it’s a sickness of the human psyche that is causing us to objectify and destroy the natural world.
This section offers tools for remembering, including animism, rewilding and nature connection, animal welfare and protection, and spiritual ecology.

In a modern world that pays little respect to the conscious lives of animals (much less that of plants or elemental nature), we’ve forgotten that other beings are interdependent with us, that our fates are intertwined. Our perceived superiority over other species is not only false, it’s deadly; it’s a sickness of the human psyche that’s causing us to objectify and destroy the natural world, the only home we have.
