Animism

Animism is both a philosophy and an embodied way of relating to the world as alive, interconnected, and inherently sacred. Rooted in the traditions of many cultures, it recognizes all beings—not just humans—as participants in a vast, relational web.

In parallel, our most advanced scientific understandings reveal that the Earth functions as a living, symbiotic system, contradicting the fragmented logic of economies and policies that have long treated nature as a collection of isolated parts. Animism, by aligning with the actual dynamics of life, offers not just a worldview but a guide for more intelligent, systemic interventions—ones that acknowledge the interdependence of all things.

When we think and feel animistically, we naturally adopt a systems perspective: one that moves beyond extraction and control toward deep relationship, reciprocity, and reverence for life.
