What we perceive influences what we believe.
All of our terrestrial experiences are filtered through our senses. Modern culture teaches us that we have five senses. According to the animist ancestral traditions of the world, this is a forgetting of a great number of our senses. This omission of sensory possibilities is an erasure of the subtler aspects of our anatomy of perception. Limiting our possibility for awareness to five senses impairs our ability to make sense of our senses.
More than five senses are needed to track and tend to our story of origin. We are experimenting with the ways we can experience each other and our elemental ancestors who weave us into the earth's body. Creating spaces where we tend to our physical, social, emotional and spiritual relationship with one another is crucial. These spaces of mutual care and discovery allow us to feel more deeply and accompany each other in processes of sensory recovery.
