Maps to Connected Perception: Deep Ecology, Plant Medicine and Animism as Gateways into the Wider Body of Earth.

“_the ecological, economic and social crises that are progressively worsening, are in fact the symptoms of an underlying deeper crisis – a crisis of perception, a crisis of consciousness.” _(Fritjof Capra) This talk is about the crisis of perception and what we can do about it. In the context of the Anthropocene, mass extinction and civilizational collapse, we provide a high-level map / whirlwind-mini-tour / seed-head of the perceptual journey from SEPARATION to INTERBEING. We suggest that the synergy of deep ecology, plant medicine (psychedelics, neuro-gnostics) and animism has immense potential to ground this sensory-perceptual shift long-term. Our aim: to sow a seed, which may germinate as this question: what does it mean to be a cell in the body of earth?
