Invoking Microbes in the Age of Covid through Ecofluency

Watch the whole video on WisdomHub.tv

Dr Saskia von Diest introduces Ecofluency; the science, art and magic of communicating with the rest of Nature using an expanded spectrum of senses and awareness. She describes how microbes are inevitably everywhere, are far more numerous than most of us are aware, and that this is actually a good thing, not least because they are crucial in driving our evolution.

Microbes (like bacteria, fungi, viruses, protists) are a hot topic in the world right now. Humans often treat all microbes as harmful, mainly because we’re generally only aware of them when they are causing disease. The aim of this episode is to bring the topic to the table and open up some points for more holistic thought and discussion.

She describes how microbes are our internal living ancestors and family, that they are conscious and can be communicated with and how some of them can cause disease, not as a personal attack but as messengers of the body.

Decolonization is also explored, together with the value of indigenization, through the lens and wisdom of microbes, and being ‘enmicrobed’.

Finally, she suggests how Covid and coronavirus is a messenger for humans in these times on many levels, but not necessarily in the ways we might expect. How microbes can also be a rich source of co-creative solutions to the many problems that we currently face. As with all of her work, Saskia brings it back to communication, which is fundamental to all relationships. Everything is in relationship to everything else, and humans are literally teaming with and in relationship with microbes, and therefore, potential allies… if we can remember how to co-operate with them.

So, she invites us to start communicating with the microbes around us, on us and in us, and through that to enact socio-eco-cultural repair, and find more harmony, diversity, abundance and peace in our lives and with those around us, i.e. Ecofluency.
