Being Part European
Play FilmWhat memories and knowledges are held by the hundreds of thousands of stolen ancestral objects kept in a secluded depot in the Netherlands by the Wereldmuseum? Filmmaker Mirelle van Tulder opens the vault to listen.
Note from the Editors
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.

This Week’s Podcast
Supracellular: A Meditation
Over the next month we’ll be sharing four stories in partnership with the Center for Humans and Nature. In this first one, author Sophie Strand uses her imagination to feel herself as part of the more-than-human world—as river, hummingbird, and mycelial network. Opening herself up to a “supracellular” state, she practices letting her mind leak beyond the bounds of individual consciousness and through the threads of relation that she shares with her ecosystem to experience being not a siloed self, but a web of interconnectivity. What empathy might take root and grow, she asks, when we practice thinking like this—when we imagine our consciousness to extend far beyond the confines of our own bodies?
