Earth as Story: Myths, Memory, and Sacred Connection
What if the Earth was not just land beneath our feet but a living, breathing story? A sacred entity that remembers, speaks, and guides?
This journey is rooted in African mythology, exploring the Earth through the lens of ancestral stories, ecological wisdom, and indigenous traditions.
From the Akan goddess Asase Yaa to the Dogon cosmology, we will uncover how African cultures have always understood the land as sacred and alive.
Throughout the journey, we will reflect on key questions:
How do we listen to the Earth?
What does it mean to walk softly on the land?
How can we reclaim and reimagine the myths that shape our relationship with nature?
Earth as Story
The journey unfolds through five interconnected modules, each exploring African cosmology, myth, and storytelling.
Together, we will uncover the sacred relationship between people and the land, moving from understanding the Earth’s many names to listening to its stories and reclaiming our own narratives.
