How Do You Practice Kinship? A Brief Meditation

Gavin on the 606. Steve Paulson (TTBOOK)

Eye-to-eye epiphanies are experiences of kinship with the more-than-human world. Gavin Van Horn says kinship is also something to practice. He shares a few thoughts about how.

Kinship: Belonging in a World of Relations is a five-volume series exploring our deep interconnections with the living world and the interdependence that exists between humans and nonhuman beings. More than 70 contributors—including Robin Wall Kimmerer, Richard Powers, Sharon Blackie, David Abram, and J. Drew Lanham—render possibilities for becoming better kin and invite us into the ways we can deepen our care and respect for the whole community of life.

Co-edited by Gavin Van Horn, Robin Wall Kimmerer, and John Hausdoerffer
