Unearthing the wisdom of your roots

Our distant ancestors shared an intimate, unbroken relationship with all of life. They understood themselves as an integral part of the natural world, with the responsibilities that this connection entails. Reconnecting with our roots means also reconnecting with the wisdom of our more-than-human ancestors, the wisdom of places, and the Earth itself.

Through this animistic perspective, I support you – both individually and in group settings – to explore these relationships, with the hope of re-membering, together, our true human essence and our place in the web of Life.

Explore with your senses

Initial session (1h30) – 70€

Let’s meet to explore the relationships and affinities you already have with the natural world. Together, we’ll identify where you can draw further wisdom from your roots. Sessions are available via video call or phone.

Follow-up session (1h) – 60€

Rekindle the wisdom of your human and more-than-human lineages to deepen your relationship with the living world. You’ll meet your ancestors. Sessions are available via video call or phone.

Workshops (online or in person)

Let’s explore our connection to Life as a group and inspire one another. These workshops (online and in person) aim to rekindle the wisdom of the Earth within us while nurturing our human connections. See upcoming events.

what to expect

I offer support tailored to your worldview and practices. Together, we will assess your needs and explore ways to deepen your connection to your senses and the natural world. This work extends beyond our sessions – you will be encouraged to explore creatively at your own pace, drawing inspiration from what resonates with you and connects you to the Earth. This may include rituals, immersions in nature, drawing, writing, poetry, movement, singing, music, and more.

Falling in love with the world again

The relationship with the living world, upheld by traditional cultures around the globe despite the impact of colonization, resonates within us as a melancholic echo of the voices and practices of our distant ancestors. Many of us turn to indigenous wisdom, including our own, in search of the lost connections we all long for.

Reclaiming an animist worldview and its relational values is crucial for a radical shift in human behavior, especially amidst the societal and ecological crises we face. These values, dormant within each of us and rooted in the wisdom of our ancient past, surpass any technological innovation.

Only by reconnecting with the natural world – embracing its mystery – can we rediscover the caring, respectful, and life-sustaining attitudes necessary for our survival. The animist vision itself holds the key to restoring balance on Earth.

«Our roots are anchored in the land, and the land is our greatest teacher. We need to put our roots down deeply again into this ancient earth, and find our sense of the sacred once more.» ∼ Kate Croft
