Cultural Biomimicry: An Evolutionary Guide to the Ecozoic through Epigenetics
In Silent Spring, Rachel Carson shares: “There is something infinitely healing in the repeated refrains of nature.” These cycles are not about eventually doing more through increased efficiency, but about equilibrium and relationship. This sense of balance allows us to deepen our vitality, practicing our sacred attunement to ourselves and the worlds around us.
