Mutual Reawakening
Dreams of Nature, Health, and a Balanced Life
Human health is fundamentally tied to the health and wellbeing of the natural ecosystems in which we live, yet we all face challenges in acting on our interconnection. We believe that womxn’s* dreams offer deep wisdom for living well and coming back into balance with nature.
Womxn’s Dreams: Nature, Health and a Balanced Life is a transdisciplinary project that explores visions, stories, and experiences of human and planetary healing in the context of environmental upheaval.
Based on our passion for connecting people with nature to facilitate interdependence in health and wellbeing, we call for a Mutual Reawakening of humans and sentient creation. We work with the intent to collect and amplify the work of womxn who are creating cultures of Mutual Reawakening for self, community, and environment.
Our overall goal is to inspire others to imagine anew our human ways of living, such that we activate a vision for transformative action that could occur through myriad unimagined pathways.
*We are committed to a vision of sisterhood that is intersectional, expansive and non-binary.
