Breathing with the Forest
Open FeatureAn immersive experience of shared breath with the Amazon rainforest.
It has always been a radical act to share stories during dark times. They are regenerative spaces of creation and renewal. As we experience a loss of sacred connection to the earth, we share stories that explore the timeless connections between ecology, culture, and spirituality.
Our first hardcover edition, Time: Volume 5 explores the vast mystery of Time, journeying through its many landscapes: deep time, geological time, kinship time, ancestral time, and sacramental time. If we can recognize a different kind of Time, can we come to dwell within it?
In this narrated essay, writer Robert Moor journeys to Haida Gwaii, an island chain in British Columbia, for the anniversary of a historic agreement between the Haida Nation and the Canadian government that protects the landscape’s last remaining old-growth forests after decades of logging. As he walks through forest stewarded for generations by Haida, Robert begins to see the tangle of Sitka spruces and cedars, mosses and lichens, not as a site of slow decay, but of ongoing growth. How can being in the presence of ancient trees, he asks, help us feel, rather than intellectualize, not only the deep past, but also our responsibility to the future?
