Dear friends,

We’re elated to share that Slow Earth Companion: Rooted Wayfinding in Fragmentary Times is on its way to New York City! This is an opportunity to get your hands on an early release copy.

This strange and unruly anthology (published by Set Margins’) invites you into a cyclical world alive with sporific beings, curious elements, ritual remembering, and fragments of wisdom.

Within the pages, you'll meet the voices of Bayo Akomolafe, adrienne maree brown, Tyson Yunkaporta, Sylvia V. Linsteadt, Pinar Sinopoulos-Lloyd, brontë velez, Lyla June, Jarod K. Anderson, Jacqueline Suskin, Dori Midnight, and many more luminaries, each tracing lines of living reciprocity between humans, creatures, elements, and Earth.

Slow Earth Companion gathers these voices and visions, shaped over a decade of deep listening and relational conversation, and sets them loose in prose, prayer, poetry, and practice. Highlighting the book are stirring and sensorial drawings by Krista Dragomer that hum and buzz with elemental entanglement and a wily more-than-human presence to nudge you along the way.

Join us. Let us venture, shift, falter, heal, and traverse together.

Upcoming Events: NYC

NYC Climate Week “Night Owls: A Soft Landing”

After a full Climate Week, we’re gathering at abcV to integrate and celebrate!

​Join The Source and For The Wild for a night of dancing and coming back to our bodies. A place to let go of some of what we’ve been carrying, follow what feels good, and find each other in the music.

​There is so much we’re holding in our love for this Earth. Tonight, we want to make room for the joy of belonging to it, too. To feel what moves through us when we have a little space to play, gather and nourish our bodies... and what might become possible from there.

A night of dancing and decompression, plus get a copy of the book and the new “Slow Earth Companion Practice Deck.”
