Writing from the web of life is a simple yet profound practice, guided by Hannelore from Wild, Wild & Botanical, that invites us to seeing with new eyes. It calls us into a process of discovery of collective connection and transforms the way we think about the world and our place in it.
This practice is rooted in Deep Ecology* and reminds us of the inherent value of all life forms. It invites us into a holistic framework that moves us beyond a human-centric relationship to the more-than-human world and into a realm of profound interconnectedness with all of life.
*The phrase “deep ecology” was coined by the Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess in 1973. The eight principles of Deep Ecology (crafted by Naess and George Sessions) acknowledge that all life forms and systems have the right to live and flourish, regardless of their benefit to human beings, and that the needs of human beings are no more important than those of other beings. When we see the world in this way, we have a moral responsibility to help implement change to heal and sustain life on Earth.
