What can happen when the "monkey mind" of habitual |
|
conceptual thought is awakened to the more-than-human |
|
through attention to subtle energies and artmaking? |
|
Drawing on autoethnographic methods, we demonstrate how |
|
one graduate student's creative engagement with a tree |
|
brought animist theory to life. This paper illustrates |
|
how a combination of time-in-relation, the contemplative |
|
artmaking practice of Creative Nature Connection, and |
|
special attention to subtle energies--the dark matter |
|
being addressed in this paper--can enable experiencing a |
|
tree as a sentient autonomous being. We address |
|
implications for environmental education and introduce |
|
easily doable principles for shifting into connection and |
|
opening to the unseen energy that connects all life. |
