115. Sophie Strand: Myth, story, the dance of the masculine and feminine and rediscovering awe

This episode starts out with Sophie Strands poem Fathering is a green slow thing before we get into the conversation. Sophie us an ecological thinker and long form writer dabbling in story as a past time. Her mythic starting point is curious and agile, if there is one thing to be said about it it's that it cannot be pinned down. Sophie has spent a lot of time investigating masculinity with the intention of rewilding it, of letting it expand and sporeulate into a multiplicity of shapes and forms. We also speak about ecologically situated myth, initiation, awe, ecological and continental timescales as well as our current cultural moment. If you get curious you can find out more about Sophie on her webpage as well as her instagram (that I personally follow with great pleasure). Host Amit Paul.
