All welcome
Humans put more and more pressure on nature. We tend to see ourselves as the most important beings in the universe, with the rest of life put there for our benefit. We badly need to change our relationship with nature. In this talk, Vajragupta (author of Wild Awake) argues we need a more animist view of the world, and of the whole universe.
Citing fascinating examples from animistic cultures, poems, and Buddhist myths and teachings, Vajragupta will suggest ways we can find our way back into the world. All welcome - whether it is your first visit, or you are a regular at the Centre.
