Following Water’s Wisdom
Earth has an enormous capacity for regeneration. It’s possible to restore Earth’s natural climate regulating systems through decentralized rain water retention, reforestation and regenerative agriculture. We realized that in times of perpetual government failure to do something about the climate crisis, this good news needed to be spread, urgently.
Where the Water Waits
I’ve been sitting at this pond for ten minutes and have seen only eight dragonflies: my young male, six other meadowhawks, and two great mossy darners. According to my journal, I observed eight different species here exactly a year ago. Although one hummingbird and two violet-green swallows are here hunting them, insects seem scarce.
The Gravity of Love | Water, Eros, and the Sacred Web of Life
We all came from the sea and grew up together. We are water beings, connected through water. This is a large part of what makes us relatives. We came from water, and we have never really separated from water. Water is our lifeblood. Our hearts are made of water.
The Unintelligent Age
By Matt Taylor
We have lost the perspective and humility to see ourselves as one very young species in the billion year timeline of life on earth. Through the arrogance of extraction, we have lost touch with collective humility. In the rush of rationalisation, we have lost touch with collective empathy.
Chasing Solitude | Pilgrimage to the Dead Sea
The density of the water holds me afloat with no need to paddle. I stretch out and float on my back and the sounds around me become distorted by water. Staring at the sky, I take a few deep breaths and then close my eyes. I allow myself to float there for a moment, thankful for the chance to experience this place.

Reflections on Water
Water is a keeper of secrets, a bearer of memory, and a patient teacher. It moves beneath and between all things, carving space for life and asking only that we pay attention. Here, writers gather to listen—and to make an offering: poems, meditations, and witnessings shaped by the slow intelligence of water.
Deschooling Dialogues | Alnoor Ladha with Bayo Akomolafe
In this conversation, Bayo Akomolafe and Alnoor Ladha explore the entanglements of identity, activism, whiteness, and emergence in a time of planetary crisis. Bayo challenges the notion of human centrality, advocating for humility as ‘dis-ability’ — an epistemological opening to new ways of knowing, being, sensing and relating in the world. They discuss whiteness not as a racial category but as a…
Bioregioning and Our Felt Sense of Place
A bioregion is a coherent geographical entity—a landscape—not politically defined. It has coherent geology, landform types, fauna, flora, rainfall, and human history. So, there's a coherent story that runs through all these layers. When we think about the kinds of "islands of coherence" we need to move forward as a species, bioregions provide that cultural grounding—what was historically true and…
Have We Outsourced Our Thinking?
Artificial intelligence is the culmination of the revolution in information technology that began in the 15th century with the printing press, followed in succeeding centuries by lithography, photography, phonography, and film, each of which extended the mass production of information to a new realm. A review of the cognitive and social effects of those previous technologies will help to…
