Description
Hosted by Erik Jampa Andersson, author of 'Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World is More than Human' (Hay House, 2023), Unseen Beings takes listeners on a journey of natural recovery, unravelling our lost threads of enchantment with the living world to uncover what it really means to be human in a more-than-human world.
The human-centred story is killing us. In addition to wreaking havoc on the natural environment, it makes us both miserable and unsafe. It is a corrupted story - born out of a pursuit of dominance, not of knowledge and wisdom. We *need* new (and old) perspectives. We need to explore different ways of understanding and responding to the challenges and crises of the Anthropocene.
