ZINE LIBRARY

Tree as Kin is an invitation to slow down and deepen our relationship with the trees around us. This digital practice booklet explores what becomes possible when we meet trees as living beings with their own presence, agency, and ways of communicating.

Through sensory practices, reflections, and invitations to spend time with trees, the booklet offers ways to step beyond the digital and return our attention to the places and beings around us. It includes a section on crafting with natural materials, offering a tactile way to deepen your relationship with the living world.

Alongside these practices is a curated reading and listing list with links to resources for continuing your exploration of trees, kinship, animist perspectives, and our relationships with the living world.

Print edition forthcoming.

“No matter where it is, once you're connected to the land, once you're connected to the plants, you can't hate a fellow human anymore. This disconnect that we've built around ourselves wouldn't exist anymore. We would understand that, just like plants, we are supposed to live a communal life, unlike what most of us are living today. So just go out and learn more about your plants and organize and resist and protest and boycott.” –Aya Gazawi Faour

This zine is based off our audio series, Plants Are Political, made in collaboration with Olive Odyssey, a Palestinian olive oil brand that serves as a gateway for Palestinian farmers to connect with people around the world and tell their story through the foods they produce. With wisdom, recipes and reflection, this zine features the words of Aya Gazawi Faour, Olive Odyssey’s co-founder, and calls into knowledge plants indigenous to the Palestinian landscape and their deep ties to culture, resistance, and enduring life ways. 

This zine also features craft, poetry, and artwork by For The Wild community members Vanja Vukelic, Sarah Reynolds, and Zannelle. Across 44 pages filled with guided ritual, episode excerpts, reflection questions, recipes, writing, and additional resources, we hope this offering resonates and supports a deeper engagement with your practices.

The long, beautiful tradition of resistance is a well from which we may draw rooted wisdom, fortitude and guidance.

Liberation is not a single act, a static destination to which we can arrive whole and the same as when we began the journey. Liberation is a project – one which requires many hands and visions.  

With wisdom from Antonia Estela Pérez, Rowen M White, Dr. Larry Ward, Morgan Curtis, and K’asheechtlaa Louise Brady, accompanied by poetry and writing from For The Wild community members, Nicolette Elensky, Katelyn Rivas, and zulaikha cara, this zine is a testament to the power and potency of collective action. 

Let this zine be a reminder that the project of resistance is tended to by many daring and beautiful souls, and that we all may find our own spaces to contribute meaningfully as we usher in a new world. 

This digital zine also features incredible art from the For The Wild community. This month’s featured artists are Cassie Normandy White, Rithika Pandey, Stephanie McKenna, Mary Porter Kerns, and Khushboo Jain.

What governs how we move, where our attentions are drawn?

As earth-borne and earth-bound beings, how do we pay homage to the forces that birthed us, sustain us, and will hold us in each life stage? 

Our connection to the land can be intimate, rich, and incredibly fertile, however we must tend it well. Forces of alienation brought on by the oppressive and divisive systems of our time separate us from the earth and all that it brings to us. In times like these, a garden, a single seed, and a shared meal may be the resistance we need. Bringing together wisdom from Vandana Shiva, Perma Queer (Guy Ritani and Toad Andrew Dell), Claudia Serrato, Anne Armbrecht, and Woman Stands Shining (Pat McCabe) alongside ritual, prayer, and reflection, this zine is meant to offer up practical and rooted wisdom for times of transition and renewal. From soil, to seed, to harvest, to consumption, our relationship to the earth brings us both the lessons and the substance that we need. How can we pay deep attention to this?  

The art in this zine is by Jeanne K Simmons.

We are nothing without each other. Who has loved you into being? How can you surrender to these lineages of love? 

The Art of Surrender is our fifth installment in our digital zine series. This zine is meant to facilitate a surrender towards love and reflections on the interconnections of our lives. 

The Art of Surrender features excerpts from brontë velez, adrienne maree brown, Alok Vaid-Menon, Gabes Torres, and Alynda Mariposa Segarra, who bring together reflections and insights that show the power of surrender. Pulling from deep wells of queer, feminist, and decolonial theory, these excerpts are thick and potent. They connect our singular lives to the deep forces of love, community, and interdependence that affect us all. They invite nuance and multitudes of interpretation. We hope you find them resonant. 

 The zine also features a playlist that centers a meandering set of songs to feel every part of letting go, letting in, and letting up.

As we strive to break free of a consumer culture, how might gratitude open the door to true mirth, warmth, and blessing?

Towards a Culture of Gratitude is our third installment in our new digital zine series. This zine is meant to facilitate rituals of gratitude, call forth reflection on the meaning of gratitude enacted, draw attention to the contradictions and dissonances of life as it is touched by the expanding tendrils of capitalism, and offer up prayers and antidotes for a life of appreciation.

Split into three parts, this zine first presents the realities of capitalism and inequality, then contemplates an antidote to disconnection, alienation, and exploitation in the form of ritual practice and mutual aid, and finally, rests in a practice of gratitude that may sustain us.
