Many humans of modernity have imagined their way into a reality that is disconnected from the rest of nature. This has become a large factor which has brought us into the metacrisis we find ourselves in today. Without recognizing our relationships with the rest of this living world, and the complex and emergent systems involved, we jeopardize our own survival and importantly, the survival of countless other species. What will it take for us to remember our place as a part of nature? And how can we find ways to integrate back into a relational way of being?

Please join Joe Culhane and Rūta Žemčugovaitė in this immersive online workshop where we will delve into the intricate web of relationships that extend beyond the human. We will explore and engage with the connections that exist between humans, non-human animals, plants, and fungi, while illuminating the beauty and complexity of multispecies relationality.
 

Through engaging nature-presencing practice and thoughtful discussions, we will explore ways in which we are interwoven with the more-than-human world. Relational Being (ReBe) brings practices, prompts, and provocations forwards to foster a deeper sense of ecological belonging and reverence for all life forms.
 

As a provocation, at the beginning of the event, we will invite you to share the Bioregion you are a part of. In order to find yours, please utilize: Find your Bioregion tool from One Earth
