"We are in relationship -- everything around us is a mirror of ourselves, our internal selves." --Kalyanee Mam

Seeds of Reciprocity

How might we rekindle awe and reciprocity by remembering ourselves as extensions of the changing earth? In an era enveloped by rapid change and compounding emergencies, four vibrant individuals -- a filmmaker, author-singer, environmental justice activist, and Sufi teacher unfold a compelling conversation centering narratives of kinship amid the uncertainty of our systems today. Each discusses their experiences bridging into spaces of interconnection with the living world. "We have to radicalize what's going on externally but also what's going on internally, and what the systems that we live by are," states Joycelyn Longdon, founder of an online education platform. "Because it's not only new environmental technology, not only new energy systems that we have to create, but we need to create new cultural systems, new systems of belonging, new systems of connection."
