Meditation on Relational Kinship

ABSTRACT This paper is an invitation to think about our relationship with more‐than‐human worlds and how this influences wellbeing, or lack thereof, in the myriad contexts of our lives. What lived and told stories do we, individually and collectively, have about our relationship to nature and how do these stories inform and influence how we show up in our relational and environmental worlds? And, perhaps most importantly, what does nature teach us about how to be in life‐giving relationship with one another?
