Nourishing Earth, Nourishing Ourselves

A New Webinar Series with Project Coyote

I’m honored to host a new webinar series in collaboration with Project Coyote entitled NOURISHING EARTH, NOURISHING OURSELVES. Throughout this series, I’ll host conversations around how we can find balance between meaningful action and meaningful being, the pressure of productivity and the necessity of play, and the release of creative expression and feeding that expression with nourishing input. In today’s world of information overload and environmental distress, it’s essential to have grounding conversations that foster intimacy with inner and outer ecosystems, and bring us down to Earth.

To kick off the series, on February 18th I welcome author

Brandon Keim

to discuss Animal Personhood for Compassionate Coexistence. An independent journalist specializing in science, nature and animals, Brandon’s work has appeared in publications including The New York Times, The Atlantic and Nautilus. His latest book, Meet The Neighbors: Animal Minds and Life in a More-Than-Human World is about animal personhood — knowing them as thinking, feeling beings — and our relationships to wild animals and to nature.

Brandon and I first met at the Miami Book Fair where we discussed our books in the session called Animal Nature, Human Hearts. Prior to our talk, I underlined his book like crazy and, of course, only scratched the surface in our initial conversation. I can’t wait to speak with him again, and to share our conversation with you.

On February 18th, we will explore what animal personhood means legally, ethically and morally as we work toward a world of compassionate conservation and coexistence. Brandon will read excerpts from his book and offer guidance for becoming more intimate with wild neighbors in your ecosystem. We’ll have time for audience Q&A and one lucky participant will receive a signed copy of Meet The Neighbors!
