Animism isn’t just for those living deep in the wild. It exists everywhere - woven into the cracks of the sidewalks, humming in the steel of skyscrapers, lingering in the materials that shape our daily lives.
In this episode, we explore animism in a modern world dominated by concrete and consumerism. What happens to the spirits of place and substance when forests are cleared, mountains are hollowed out, and rivers are rerouted? How do we honor the essence of objects that have been displaced, transformed, or repurposed? Whether you live in a city, a suburb, or a rural landscape, the spirit of the land is still speaking, waiting for acknowledgment.
This episode is for those who want to deepen their awareness of the materials they interact with daily, for those who feel disconnected from nature due to their surroundings, and for anyone seeking to build an animistic practice that aligns with the realities of modern life.
You are already in relationship with the world around you. The question is - how will you engage?

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
