The Living World: Reclaiming Animism in the Contemporary Age is a call to remember what our ancestors knew-that the Earth is alive, aware, and in constant conversation with us. Blending scholarship, indigenous wisdom, and practical guidance, this book offers both a philosophical framework and hands-on practices for living in deeper reciprocity with the more-than-human world. From plant intelligence to sacred reciprocity, from community rituals to ecological restoration, it charts a path toward a cultural transformation rooted in respect, relationship, and reverence for all life.
