| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the evolution of ritual practices within the nature connection movement, which intertwine personal wellbeing and ecological activism. It explores how these rituals, such as the Life Cairn and the Council of All Beings, facilitate a dynamic process of self-realization and ethical autopoiesis, promoting an interconnected ecological self that challenges the nature-culture dichotomy prevalent in Western thought. The author discusses the role of these rituals in redrawing boundaries of identity and community, emphasizing their potential to foster emotional openness and a deeper connection with the more-than-human world. Ultimately, the article highlights the tension between modern compartmentalization and the ecologizing tendencies that these practices embody. [Extracted from the article] |
