Ecological Storytelling

“In an age of ecological crisis, it is urgent that we reclaim the forgotten earth-reverent root system hidden below modern narratives of capitalism and anthropocentrism… Stories weren’t linear, they were cyclical, teaching us how to live with seasonal fluctuations. Storytelling wasn’t concerned with human superiority. It wasn’t about individual characters. It was about relationships… Ecological storytelling is storytelling that prizes questions over answers, conversations over monologues, relationships over individuals. It is storytelling that rejects the idea of singular authorship. Rather, it acts as a messenger, carrying communications between members of the forest… It roots human beings back into the home of our ecosystem – our wider family of furry, fungal, vegetal kin.”
