Beyond the Surface with Christie Green

In this episode of *For Love of Memoir*, Christie Green joins me to discuss her memoir *Moonlit Elk*.Part memoir, part exploration of instinct, identity, and the natural world, *Moonlit Elk* follows Christie’s movement into hunting, solitude, and a way of living that challenged many of the expectations she once carried about herself and the world around her.Guided in part by her dreams, Christie reflects on learning to trust a different kind of knowing and what happened when she began paying closer attention to instinct, the natural world, and the parts of herself that didn’t fit neatly into modern life.In our conversation, we talk about writing from the body instead of the intellect, stepping into spaces traditionally dominated by men, the relationship between humans and animals, and the search for a more honest way of being alive.Follow Christie and learn more about her work at:christiegreen.net
