Visual artists Amy Youngs and Candace Thompson work closely with ecology and technology to create communal, joyful, and loved filled connections to each other and the more-than-human world with whom we share the planet. Respond to the uncertainty we are experiencing on a planetary scale by becoming deeply embedded in your local community and aware of the plant life around you as you forage for food in your neighborhoods throughout the changing seasons of the year.

Learn more about Michael Morris and Kelly Klein’s “Dancing Body Magic” workshop which premiered with the Livable Futures community.A correction from Michael:
Hi everyone. This is Michael. I have a quick addendum to this episode. In our discussion of magic, in my enthusiasm, I misattributed a definition of magic to Doreen Valiente that was actually given to us by Dion Fortune and popularized by Starhawk. Dion Fortune said that magic is the art of changing consciousness at will. Fortune was a British occultist and ceremonial magician who was very influential on later 20th century witches and occultists. Because I consider citation and attribution to be part of a feminist praxis, especially when crediting the work of women who often go uncredited, it felt important to add this note, and I am grateful for Norah including it.
So, thank you for listening and be well. -
