Divination, Poetry, and Interspecies Collaboration: Sustaining Practices in Times of Uncertainty and Change

  • https://kansas.zoom.us/j/988409975 (map)

Our ecological connectivity with plants and animals can provide a wellspring of knowledge and inspiration, enabling us to (re)discover strategies for living in the world, to grieve and heal after loss, and to re-align our thinking toward rootedness, kinship, community, and sustainability. This session will focus on building contemplative and creative practices to find meaningful connection in times of uncertainty. Join poet and professor of English Megan Kaminski in an introduction to eco-poetics, divination, and plant thinking.

First snow of the year + cozy times with friends
A beautiful afternoon in the Flint Hills: bison grazing in the fields, a white horse outside the barn, my father showing off his (lack of) lasso technique. And @prairieecologist beautiful talk from yesterday’s Ecology Seminar still on my mind ?
Today is a fall day like any other day and not. Doing my best to tend to and care for people and this place we call home
Brought in the basil from the garden to overwinter, much to B’s delight 🌱✨
