Opening worlds (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Imagine you are standing in front of a very large, very old tree. What do you do?You could cut it down. And most of our systems are built around exactly this gesture — extract, use, move on. The tree becomes timber. The forest becomes resource. The world becomes something to be taken apart and reassembled into profit.Thanks for reading!

And instead of returning to the village to share it with his family and everyone else, as forest law demands, he stayed alone. He began dancing and singing, all by himself.

Three scenes, one breath (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’m standing in circle with about forty people. Aida, the beautifully energetic woman guiding the workshop, asks us to close our eyes and begin with a breathing exercise.I enjoy it immediately. I feel the intensity of my breath travelling through my body, down to my toes, into my fingertips. Exhaling, inhaling. My fascia — the connective tissue system that allows me to move and sense my body in the world — enlivening with each breath. I feel present. Awake. Good at this.<div class="subscription-
