Immersive Evening: Imagination, Turmoil, and the Dream of the Earth

We are at a threshold moment in our planetary journey. Some days, the future might feel despairingly bleak. At other times, we might feel hints of a possible world coming; we might even hear what might be the intake of her breath...

What lies between these two contrasting experiences? Perhaps it’s similar to the permeable border that lies between experiencing a dead universe and experiencing an animate cosmos – a border that might be crossed by way of imagination, perception, or shape-shifting worldviews.

About Geneen Marie Haugen:

Geneen Marie Haugen, PhD, grew up a little wild, with a run amok imagination, and has lived at the wild edge for most of her life. Once upon a time, she was a whitewater river guide and a tipi dweller who loved knowing that only thin canvas separated her from the the world. In her wild wanderings, she’s been amazed to have had dozens or maybe hundreds of close encounters with creatures such as moose, elk, grizzlies, wolves, black bears, cougars, bison, and more. Her matrilineal ancestors are the indigenous Sami of the European Arctic.

A content creator and guide to the intertwined mysteries of nature and psyche with the Animas Valley Institute (www.animas.org), she has been on the faculty of the Esalen Institute and Schumacher College. Her writing has appeared in numerous works. She believes in the world-shifting potential of the human imagination allied with the planetary psyche.
