Multispecies storytelling excercise 1

WALKING-WITH AN OBJECT

We all live in relation with other animals, plants, objects, materials, and landscapes. What happens when we start paying attention to multispecies relations?

 

Choose an object to be your guide and go for a short walk with it. Attune to being with the object and perceiving the environment with it. What does it suggest?

 

Based on your shared walk, tell a story. 

What happened? What did you do and experience together? How was your relationship building up? What could happen next? You are free to use your memories, sensations, imagination, and facts as materials of the story.
