What would it be like to live in a world of sentient beings rather than inert objects? How would we relate to such a world? And if we invoke such a world of sentient presence, calling to more than human beings as persons, might we elicit a response?’ These key questions inform the ‘Living Waters’ inquiry, in which co-inquirers participate in communicative ways with their rivers or wetlands.
In this presentation, we provide ‘tasters’ of the ‘Living Waters Inquiry’. We sample panpsychism as a philosophical approach to living places; overview Cooperative Inquiry, meet Gaia thinking and practice; and offer examples of co-researchers hearing places. Please be ready with your questions after the presentation
