Readings included the Book of Genesis, Amitav Ghosh’s The Great Derangement, Mark Mann’s article “Hell and High Water,” Neil Smith’s “There’s No Such Thing as Natural Disaster,” and an episode called “Prepping for the Worst” from “Proof: America’s Test Kitchen Podcast.” These texts, paired with several practical how-to-deal-with-disaster articles, paved the way for discussing the Western world’s current relationship with natural disasters, how confronting the inevitability of disaster can help prepare us for dealing with them, and how to follow a potential model for disaster survival. By drawing on climate crisis and the impending COVID-19 pandemic, these readings helped provide an important framework for what disasters really are and how we can work together to face them. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049420258-8Q6JGQW76W82JY8SNJWK/DSC_0189.jpg Disaster Preparedness - For many settlers, Toronto doesn’t seem like an especially disastrous place. The city’s topography isn’t radically vulnerable - it’s not San Francisco, balanced on a fault line, or New Orleans, crouched below sea level on the Gulf Coast’s Hurricane Highway. But climate change is rapidly challenging these assumptions of what’s ‘safe’ and what’s ‘risky.’ To start thinking about catastrophe in our own backyard, we spent the day on Toronto Island, which recently experienced historic flooding. We began our (very chilly!) day on the ferry, and then met with resident-activists who are working to protect their community against rising waters, outdated policies and bureaucratic indifference. In the afternoon, we heard from CREW – the non-profit group Community Resilience to Extreme Weather – about their organizing efforts in high-rise buildings during heat emergencies and fire. And in between we enjoyed a delicious and creative disaster lunch. Designed by Joshna Maharaj, the menu consisted entirely of food that would still be edible and cookable several days into an extended power outage – not an unusual event in Toronto’s long hard winters. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049484932-WYP0Q977GQLVI6ARY7YE/DSC_0294.jpg Disaster Preparedness - "Alexandra's workshop emphasized that disasters... illuminate the fault lines of the way our world is organized: economic disparity, neoliberalism, absence of forethought, politics based on performance rather than on meeting human needs." –Roz https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049459365-VF6VE3CMPX18ZND7L2ER/Screen+Shot+2020-10-29+at+9.34.19+PM.png Disaster Preparedness - Disaster preparedness often means getting your own family ready for a potential catastrophe - and leaving everyone else to fend for themselves. How can we expand beyond this competitive and isolating framework? And instead see disaster preparedness as community work? How would our lives change - individually and as a society - if we really got ready for disaster? What happens if we stop being surprised every time catastrophe strikes, and give up seeing every cataclysm as unprecedented and out of the blue? https://www.persephone-project.com/night-ecology daily 0.75 2021-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1634405761495-MWWPRAPBQDTO2LBAEP60/Screen%2BShot%2B2020-10-27%2Bat%2B2.17.54%2BPM.png Night Ecology - What are the consequences of electrification and 24/7 productivity? Research on darkness and circadian rhythms is only starting to reveal the profound effects of light pollution and sleep deprivation on a planetary scale. Yet Night is a vast territory, more than a biological function. Myriad rituals, customs and practices have their roots in what begins when the sun sets: storytelling, sexual intimacy, prayer and contemplation, and honouring the Dead. Relaxing by the firelight, we listened as our guest, James Nowak, wove a web of old stories: Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, Beowulf and Grendel. As deer passed our camp, we felt night’s presence, heard stories of entering dark places and returning to the light, and experienced the things that come alive in the dark. We considered what we lost, without realizing it, when we gave up the night. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633046578075-GGFEMG6XFQVOEUGQNP7L/Screen+Shot+2020-10-29+at+1.21.19+AM.png Night Ecology - There are but a handful of places in Toronto where it’s permissible to light a fire. Fire, our companion in darkness throughout most of human history, by whose dancing light our thoughts were shaped and our tongues learned to share storied speech, has become as outlawed as the night itself. On a warm summer’s eve, we gathered at the city’s edge to explore what nighttime has meant in centuries past, what nighttime means to us today, and what possibilities it holds in the future. The workshop was an orientation to this most fundamental part of our lives—as much under siege today as the lands, air, and water. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633702697812-RFGI1W2EG7SR2EE4HGA7/Screen+Shot+2020-10-27+at+2.22.55+PM.png Night Ecology - How might we begin to form a different relationship to darkness, and to honour night’s gifts?

What/who composes us, calls us, and sustains us on our journey? It begins. How did our ancestors begin our journey, that which has come before? It becomes. How will our journey live on in our descendants, that which will come after? I believe. How are all of these things––ancestors, descendants, life, death, and the promise of future life––held inside of us at the same time in this current moment? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633052199663-FD9MLPB19A7IRZ5MW0CX/DSC_0069+%281%29.jpg Into the Labyrinth - When you reach the centre, leave space for the unknown, the unutterable, the un-word. Then, trace your way back the way you came, reliving the journey over again in reverse. Once we finished writing, story became stone with which to build a real-life labyrinth, nestled in an empty horse corral at Bela Farm. As we carried each rock to its new home, we relished the gift of community and prepared to partake in ritual. We each revealed precious items we brought to leave as mythic offerings, and watched as Persephone herself––in puppet form––circled through the stones, reaching the centre and descending into the shallow grave that had been left there years earlier. Enraptured, we slowly followed suit, letting our bodies move through the same stages our pens had earlier: I believe. It begins. It becomes. I believe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633052261322-ILFON7QD8N83CKXSHT7F/DSC_0096.jpg Into the Labyrinth - The labyrinth’s promise of awakening and transformation did not disappoint. While appearing outwardly unaltered as we packed up and headed home, inwardly we would never be the same. There are no straight lines in nature, or myth, or, as we discovered, in the deepest parts of ourselves. Back at Bela Farm, the labyrinth coils around and around, beckoning us to return. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633052288536-VGB4MC806331WRJFHPVV/DSC_0168.jpg Into the Labyrinth - In preparation for this workshop, we read selected poems from Alessandra Naccarato’s Re-Origin of Species as well as an essay from Naccarato’s forthcoming collection Imminent Domains, entitled “Mensplaining the Underworld.” During the workshop, Bonnie also recounted “The Fisher’s Story,” an Anishinaabe creation myth from Isaac Murdoch’s The Trail of Nenaboozhoo and Other Creation Stories, to offer an indigenous perspective on Earth time as well as elevate the sacred spontaneity of oral storytelling. https://www.persephone-project.com/home-workshops daily 0.75 2022-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633702658181-YP6AEPWOBMZUX822MV1I/Screen+Shot+2020-10-27+at+1.57.05+PM.png Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633702697812-RFGI1W2EG7SR2EE4HGA7/Screen+Shot+2020-10-27+at+2.22.55+PM.png Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633702729793-2ORMVFIGBUKBXF4X5EPY/DSC_0045.jpg Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633702807556-6TLSEKNEB6AMEBSHMVAS/DSC_0041.jpg Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633702839795-AT40HNT6Z04GVT7MG0CK/DSC_0203.jpg Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633702935681-MDT8TVULKEZM9EB3IAUI/xKs4o31g.jpg Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633703026817-SRN99FFC5993PNVK4PK9/DSC07001.jpg Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1637959440401-8XKXQ916E09N10IMZ94P/DSC_0069.jpg Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633381330510-45UCPVGMGEO99Z23NJ9E/Scan%25202%2520copy_edited.png Home Workshops https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633381330510-45UCPVGMGEO99Z23NJ9E/Scan%25202%2520copy_edited.png Home Workshops https://www.persephone-project.com/the-research daily 0.75 2022-01-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633703257621-L0KDFQSF4E78A1YG3UOB/Labyrinth_red_footprint.png Persephone's Carrier Bag - “[Myth] lives in caves and out in the desert wind, and sometimes looms up in the city darkness and tells us to take care of something inside us that we cannot see with our everyday eyes.” — Charlotte Du Cann, “The Seven Coats” https://www.persephone-project.com/living-ink daily 0.75 2021-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633104301506-YTWRSPRP1KPC7UC0U6B7/Ink+Art.jpg Living Ink - As we wrapped up the day, we came full circle: our very first home workshop, Sasha’s “Life of a Dead Tree,” centred on an ash tree plagued by emerald ash borer. And in our final home workshop, we made a black ink from the ashes of another dying ash tree to create the art that would reflect how far we’d come together. This “fire dust,” as Sammy called it, was a natural medium that could give the ash tree a voice to speak beyond death and blend with ours in collaboration. As our living inks dried, meeting paper and air, they continued to change color—to evolve with the changing environment as we do. Alisha asked us to read excerpts from Bluets by Maggie Nelson, Beloved by Toni Morrison, and Make Ink: A Forager’s Guide to Natural Inkmaking by Jason Logan. We also watched NYT Live Drawing with Jason Logan and saw Logan depict a variety of emotions with his living inks. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1634409613292-HLVX4IPYYL2R90ONW6DA/DSC07125.jpg Living Ink - We paused for a delicious, colourful lunch from the Tin Roof Café along with a salad containing wild, edible flowers and leaves we’d collected on our walk, while the contents of our baskets simmered and steeped in pots over a fire. We stripped the outer bark of the willow to use in an analgesic tincture, and put the pieces of the inner bark in mint tins which went inside the fire, transforming into charcoal. Reading aloud from Mary Ruefle’s My Private Property, we explored the many colours of sadness, an ironically soothing experience. Following dessert and a colour alchemy lesson with Sammy, we experimented with making different inks, then wrote and drew with the plants that live where we live. Some of us collaborated on a silk shawl for our Persephone puppet (adding stamps of cherry left over from dessert). After eighteen months of chasing sterility, we delighted in the release of ink-spotted hands. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633052666477-7D67QERN0ZAGJRULYRZ0/basket.jpg Living Ink - For our final home workshop, Alisha invited us to Bela Farm to explore colour in nature, in the particular season of early summer. The objective, to make natural inks from foraged local plants, promised the kind of creativity and connection we’d all been craving. We opened by sharing the colours we’re most drawn to: spring greens, teal, forget-me-not blue, berry purples, pastels… For each of us, these hues were more than just personal preference—they also held emotions, memories, and medicine. Then, with ink-making expert Sammy Tangir, we walked the land, collecting goldenrod, buckthorn, willow, vetch, and other plants for summery inks. We also gathered materials such as pine needle branches to use as brushes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633104104661-BSIHGR6TG57VYQMUMTU7/Charcoal+Ink.jpg Living Ink - "Ink is primarily a tool of communication, a way of recording and remembering. It’s a way to bridge the gap: of distance and also of time... We record the past now, in the present, to squirrel it away for the future, just as surely as we put up cans and jars to feed on when the scarcity of winter comes." –Sasha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633052809684-G30SSFIS3EX8KWJQXYBI/Boil+stir+Hands.jpg Living Ink - What hues are in the stories we tell, and do they vary by season? What would it look like to think of our tools, and the works we create with them, as alive or impermanent or seasonal? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633053500467-BSS973EDMLXS5D14CJ5L/circle+smokey.jpg Living Ink - What does it mean to create in collaboration with nature? What if we thought of colour as emotion?

Zeus rebuffed her, and in her rage, she caused cold winds to blow and all the plants to wither and die. All creatures on Earth experienced winter for the first time. Frustrated by the climatic chaos, Zeus finally relented and convinced Hades to let Persephone return. But Hades really loved Persephone, and couldn’t bear the thought of never seeing her again. So he gave her a powerful Underworld snack: six pomegranate seeds which conferred on Persephone the power to travel between worlds, and the obligation to spend part of each year in the land below. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633105785927-FAZXCR5ER51GFGRRMDJD/DSC_0043.jpg The Myth - Ever since, Persephone has spent half the year with her mother Demeter in the world above and the other half with her husband in the Underworld. Each time Persephone heads underground, Demeter weeps, and brings winter upon the land. And when she returns, Demeter rejoices and spring arrives. And that’s how the seasons came to be. But that’s all, as they say, ancient history. Persephone and Hades have now been married for centuries and Persephone has made that journey from the underworld to the living Earth and back again more times than she can count. Lately, the seasons have taken a disturbing turn. Demeter is becoming disoriented, and Persephone is worried. Sometimes winter comes too early; sometimes summer lasts too long. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633105736672-MTOAQL9H97AJ1EDPOMO6/DSC_0048.jpg The Myth - Greek myth tells of a beautiful young goddess named Persephone, who attracted the attention of Hades, God of the Underworld. One day, while Persephone was picking flowers, Hades burst through the Earth and seduced her. What happened next depends on who is telling the tale. Some say he abducted her against her will. Some say she fell in love. Others say that there was no Hades at all and she was drawn by her own desire and curiosity. All agree, however, that Persephone ended up in the land below where she became Queen of the Underworld. Up above, Persephone’s mother, Demeter -- goddess of the harvest -- searched in vain for her daughter. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/2d448107-30e0-49e1-9380-719fdd6c3d3f/DSC_0039.jpg The Myth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/7bd63e7a-dbc5-40ba-a13f-f103d4e21d6d/DSC_0039.jpg The Myth https://www.persephone-project.com/food-and-the-home daily 0.75 2021-12-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633047164851-V9IW4TMFSCRSKU28NUF0/Screen+Shot+2020-10-29+at+9.39.30+PM.png Food and Home - Andrea’s workshop explored the delicate balance between a resilient local food system and a sustainable home economy. We began a fruit pick with Not Far From the Tree in two tiny urban backyards; after two hours, we were stunned that we had picked over 170 pounds of grapes for homeowners and food banks that would have otherwise gone to waste. We then walked to the home of BUFCO (Backyard Urban Farm Company) CEO Arlene Hazzan Green. She showed us her backyard urban farm, her ‘guerrilla garden’ in the laneway, and a number of interconnected neighboring gardens. Arlene reinforced our morning experience, demonstrating how porous property boundaries can expand the amount of food produced within a neighborhood, a win-win for everyone. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633047254486-NP2TM16CGMZSA5FHSC4E/DSC_0014.jpg Food and Home - Over a lunch sourced from local Toronto-based farms, Andrea shared her personal history from the early days of “radical homemaking” described by Shannon Hayes. While positive developments have laid the groundwork for a more locally-based and environmentally-friendly food system, she noted that there has been less focus on who is doing the labor to bring this sustainable food system home. With most of us working full-time outside the home, who is feeding the sourdough starter or canning the tomatoes or washing, chopping, cooking and serving the vegetable-forward yet labor-intensive meals we know will save us and the planet? When the answer is one very tired person, as was the case for Andrea, the result can be a personal energy crisis. An exploration of the gendered labour of homemaking led us to re-examine our investment in private property and self-reliance and to consider the strategies suggested by Katy Bowman in her permaculture-influenced “stack-your-life” movement. At the same time, we were acutely aware of the barriers – access to land, capital, time -- that keep so many from being able to even imagine shifting into this vision of dynamic and communal homemaking. We left the workshop charged with possibility, determined to continue exploring possibilities (and picking fruit!). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633047230192-2CQDTCGJFUSEOG7V4IAQ/DSC_0029.jpg Food and Home - "It was a sensory day: the feel of the sun, the scent and taste of the grapes, the sounds of the chickens and the traffic. And a thought provoking one as well." –Alexandra https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633047203037-K3GM41QV4E03SM1K7NX7/DSC_0036.jpg Food and Home - What is the real labour of making a home? What are the boundaries of our home? What is the commons within our cities? And how might these spaces be reclaimed for all? https://www.persephone-project.com/persephone-rising daily 0.75 2022-01-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633048974454-I35GWA5P7X5C6UC5E4DE/DSC_0001.jpg Persephone Rising - While working on a domestic violence exhibit for the Irish Museum of Modern Art, community arts facilitator and printmaker Rochelle Rubinstein realized the poignant power of marrying art and activism. Desiring to bring this dynamic to the Persephone Project, Rochelle designed a workshop that would bring the weaving of words and ideas into the material world with thread, cloth, and ink. Her objective, constructing a practical and poetic life-sized Persephone puppet, required us to do something that none of the previous workshops had requested: to think with our hands. The workshop took place in the Shadowland Theatre studio in downtown Toronto. Anne Barber, Shadowland’s creative director, presented us with a basic structure for a large puppet: a papier-mâchéd, two-sided cardboard head (one side asleep, the other awake) atop a simple metal and wood armature. Rochelle provided dozens of block printed images in black ink on flag material. Carefully chosen with Persephone in mind, these images served as the pieces that would breathe life into our puppet: pomegranates, bees, lungs, keening women, water, fish, animals, and hands. Sequoia, Shadowland’s General Manager, provided assistance and technical advice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049106420-8H2AFIRHQFI3TTN872A1/DSC_0076.jpg Persephone Rising - After some discussion, we decided to create four fabric panels to serve as Persephone’s ‘body,’ each panel representing one season, with images wandering between them to represent the merging seasons of our own in-crisis world. We divided into groups, selected prints that worked together narratively, pinned and then sewed them on to the fabric panels. As we worked, our needles began to mimic Persephone’s journey: down into the unknown and back again, descending and ascending with each new stitch. Words like “ground,” “reap,” “listen,” “root,” “yield,” “rise,” and “daughter” served as both challenges and balms, letting Persephone’s body carry stories that Homer would never tell. When Anne hoisted up Persephone at the end of the day, we were struck by her presence, a whole that was bigger than the sum of its parts. Persephone appeared uncanny, mysterious, fierce, and ready to heed the charge stenciled on her skin: “Rise, Daughter, Rise.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049060679-QPEWCEXMG93X5Y4E61L8/DSC_0018.jpg Persephone Rising - In preparation for the workshop, we turned to a self-curated collection known as the “Persephone Archive of Inspiration” to immerse ourselves in Persephone’s myth from many different angles. This included classical adaptations from Homer and Ovid, musings on the Underworld from Martin Shaw, Anaïs Mitchell’s Broadway musical Hadestown, and a blog post from our own Andrea Most connecting many of these Persephones back to our project. We also looked at some intersections of art and activism, including “The Radicality of the Puppet Theatre” and “Bread & Puppet” by Peter Schumann and “Processions for Mother Earth: Scenes from a Flooded Summer” by Gabriel Levine. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049141407-LLUTKJE28BXGPW0W4SBB/DSC_0077.jpg Persephone Rising - During the first few home workshops, Andrea struggled with the connection between Persephone, whose story explains the creation of the seasons, and our research on “home.” She knew Persephone had something important to teach us but couldn’t yet articulate it. During the first few workshops, group discussions circled — without our even realizing it — around the challenges and potential of Earth-based circadian and seasonal rhythms. Delving into the life and death of trees, the ecology of the night, planting and harvesting of our food, questions began bubbling up: How do we respond to and honor the rhythms of the Earth? What impacts do these rhythms have on our bodies, our homes and communities, the work we do, the food we eat, the kinds of stories we tell at different times of the day, month or year? What are the impacts of obscuring, altering, undermining or ignoring these rhythms? What can we do, in an industrialized urban context in a time of climate chaos, to listen more closely to those rhythms? What remedies are necessary to restore balance? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049025882-DKGGCFKEU7S99METKK94/DSC_0041.jpg Persephone Rising - What do we want the purpose of this large puppet to be? Where and when would she appear and what messages is she bringing? What is possible when we embrace a corporeal, kinesthetic knowing, as we did when creating the Persephone puppet together? https://www.persephone-project.com/the-writers-journey daily 0.75 2021-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633050017430-LL4B6SL9RX8HEEH5G400/Screen+Shot+2020-10-29+at+9.22.23+PM.png The Writer's Journey - The final section asked us to think about ceremonies we had inherited and new ceremonies that might sustain us. Keeping both Persephone and ourselves in mind, we explored traditions from which we feel severed, rituals to which we would like to return. Although we couldn’t meet together physically, the sensory, intimate nature of Roz’s prompts made us feel as though we had. Participants shared some of the writing that resulted, touching on issues surrounding food, home, time, land, work, and more, agreeing with Roz’s claim that “exercises like this are somewhat like going into a dream.” To begin your own investigations in these areas, consider writing in short, timed bursts—ten or fifteen minutes—and avoid judging the results. You might begin writing about a piece of land you once felt connected to and how it has changed or become endangered. Whether or not you grew up with formal ceremonies, you could write about the ways you celebrate, mourn or commemorate, or rewrite the myths and rituals you inherited. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049929025-UM8IAWPC60UAJFFXZE99/Screen+Shot+2020-04-30+at+3.33.32+PM.png The Writer's Journey - The first set of questions drew on Persephone as a metaphor for the project and a way to think through the many meanings of “home.” As we wrote, Roz asked: “What is it like for Persephone upon her initial return home? How does her departure and eventual return forever change what ‘home’ means?” The second session led us through some metaphorical and rhetorical approaches to our own creative and scholarly work. This time, Roz pointed us toward modes of mythic movement--Charon's raft, Icarus's wings, Noah's dove--and suggested that we imagine how our work could move forward, past paralyzing blocks and toward the audiences who could receive it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633049989369-9NKVB135M66CBJF3Z0F5/uOAz7ZMA.jpg The Writer's Journey - If you have worked at home through the pandemic, how has "home" changed?

How can new ways of understanding trees change our relationship with them and our ways of caring for them? Readings from D.G. Haskell’s The Forest Unseen, Barry Lopez’s Horizon and Lab Girl by Hope Jahren highlighted different ways of contemplating a tree: as a mandala that reveals the universal in the smallest details, as an event or process that is always unfolding, and as a record of how death and loss shape our world. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6144c226dd2cdb410a27d990/1633046167025-HQCJFNZ3IIUU9MSSX1OF/Screen+Shot+2020-10-27+at+2.10.34+PM.png Life of a Dead Tree - Readings from Haskell’s The Songs of Trees and J. Dean’s “Seeing Trees, Thinking Forests: Urban Forestry at the University of Toronto in the 1960s” examined life in the urban forest and what it revealed about human attitudes to the natural world, provoking us to think of trees as fellow community members and urban collaborators.
