Reciprocity and the Web of Life: Practices for Recovering Attention

Ayya Santacitta, Heather Marie
As the earth calls our attention and old narratives dissolve around us, we are asked to navigate our lives differently. At an evolutionary threshold like this, the Dharma is a formidable anchor to keep us grounded. As our world is moving, we are forced to move with it. We must begin by coming home to where we are. Through sensing our deep embeddedness in nature, we are learning to engage a regenerative intelligence beyond the intellect. By working with ancient and new ways of experiencing embodied existence, we are consciously re-rooting in the web of life, bringing about an expanded perception of who we are and opening us into our next steps on the path. In this series we will explore our fundamental interrelation with the more-than-human world through reflections, chanting, guided meditations, movement, inquiry, and Q&A.
