In the age of the scattered tribe, how do we find connection? Metanoia refers to a change of heart influenced by a spiritual conversation or experience. When we come into conversation with plants, animals, and other nonhuman beings on a physical level, we are also inviting an opportunity to open ourselves on a spiritual level. As we engage with these conversations, we may go beyond the limiting scope of human language. A shift in the direction of listening, relating, and understanding. This work is a homage to plant and rock spirits—a recognition of the power of conversations with plants, animals, stones, and other nonhumans. It is a way of living in connection—with reciprocity and collaboration.
