Interspecies Meditation and Sharing Circle by Interspecies Assemblies published on 2021-12-19T23:03:57Z This meditation can be practiced alone or with others to build empathy pathways to other life forms. We use our imaginations and a bonding ritual to enter the body and consciousness of a different species and to reflect on the nature of their existence. This ritual transports us to the interspecies multiverse where we sit for a guided meditation. If you are in a group you can follow the meditation with a sharing circle to describe the experiences you have of your new bodies and sentience. By listening to each other you will understand more about your place in the web of life. _\|/____ ABOUT___\|/_ This meditation was developed and performed by Ruth Catlow and Sarah Friend at the Glitch Community Residency at Château du Feÿ, in France, October 2021. Music is by Matt Catlow. Illustration by Sajan Rai. We recommend this meditation practice when preparing to participate in Interspecies Assemblies. The bonding ritual was originally created for a multispecies food justice LARP called 'Now London is a City Farm…' created by Ruth with Sara Heitlinger, Lara Houston and Alex Taylor as part of the Algorithmic Food Justice research project. _\|/_ Genre Religion & Spirituality Comment by REC™ Ik mis wierrook. 2022-09-19T09:16:58Z Comment by Pieter0348 🪷 2022-09-19T07:52:07Z
