Grounding: Intertwined with the More-Than-Human World
In the face of climate chaos how do we actively continue to seek and find hope? For the 2023 Justseeds’ CSA, we want to explore how we nurture our relationship with the earth and more-than-human world. It is vital to reframe our relationship with nature, compost the idea of our ownership, and look at the natural world as something beyond a commodity.
For many of us, being in community with nature has a healing effect. We see plants and fungi as our allies and accomplices. They communicate and build networks, they help us ground ourselves as the world spins, and teach us about patience and embracing the uncertain. For some, these more-than-human relationships involve defending the land and water, building pollinator gardens with community, nourishing symbiotic relationships or learning how to heal and nourish ourselves through foraging in the beloved woods.
What do these relationships look like for you? What has the more-than-human world allowed you to see? How do you keep each other company?
Con los Pies en la Tierra: Entrelazadxs con el Mundo Natural
Encarando el cambio climático, ¿cómo seguimos buscando y encontramos esperanza continuamente? Para el CSA de Justseeds 20223, queremos explorar el cómo nutrimos nuestra relación con la tierra y el mundo natural, más allá de lo humano. Es vital reenmarcar nuestra relación con la naturaleza, compostar la idea de que nos pertenece y mirar al mundo natural como algo más que mercancía.
Para muchxs de nosotrxs, estar en comunidad con la naturaleza, tiene un efecto sanador. Vemos a las plantas y los hongos como nuestrxs aliadxs, nuestrxs cómplices. Ellxs se comunican, construyen redes, nos ayudan a poner los pies sobre la tierra mientras el mundo gira, y nos enseñan de paciencia y a abrazar lo incierto. Para algunxs, estas relaciones con el mundo natural involucran defender la tierra y el agua, construir jardines para polinizadores en comunidad, nutrir relaciones simbióticas o aprender a sanar y nutrirnos, recolectando hongos en el amado bosque.
¿Cómo se ven/manifiestan estas relaciones para ti? ¿Qué te ha permitido ver el mundo más allá de lo humano? ¿Cómo mantienes tu relación y te acompañas con la naturaleza?
