Hello beloveds! I truly hope you’re all faring well out there. Here with a little pared-down share this week, in regards to my relationship to Animism. As I prepare to anchor a course through Ancestral Medicine on Animism + Earth Reconnection, it has me thinking a LOT about my own relationship to these topics and the teachings that have been so graciously shared with me over the years.
I talk a bit about my own journey of reconnection, how it applies to my practice of animistic astrology, and the need for these lifeways to be embodied rather than intellectualized to foster true relationship.
If you’re interested in more along this conversation, check out the course. We begin July 21st, and the live calls will be on Tuesdays at 8pm EST for 12 weeks.
I’ll let the recording speak for itself here, but know that I am very much (and always will be) just as much a student of these stirrings. Especially as a grandchild of diaspora, so much of this has been the lived reality of my own reconnection process. It is a holy kind of homecoming, an ancestral remembrance and above all else, a birthright of belonging. May this be the pathway back into such depth of intimacy.
About the Course:
Previously titled Practical Animism, this course offers an experiential inquiry into how to live with more heart, humility, and connection. It blends animist or Earth-honoring ethics, ritual practice, and sharp cultural analysis. Together, we’ll explore reverence beyond belief, relationship beyond blood, and connection beyond the human. Drawing on diverse Earth-honoring lineages of practice as well as “new animist” teachings, this course examines the soul of kinship, the weight of loss, and the sacred possibilities still available in a world shaped by rupture, beauty, and responsibility.
This course does not offer doctrine or a set of fixed beliefs. It supports a reorientation of the self in a web of relationships—seen and unseen, human and other-than-human. It’s a course for those seeking heart-centered ritual, sacred accountability, and frameworks for connection rooted in care, complexity, and respect.
