Mari Andrew: How To Be A Living Thing

"It was just this love I developed of life, all life and how much life can be a joy to witness and experience if we're not severing ourselves or severing other lives from our own. And then you start to see all the connectedness and it's like a drug." - Mari Andrew

What if healing wasn't about fixing yourself—but about remembering what it means to be alive?

This conversation is with writer artist, speaker, teacher, and deep feeler Mari Andrew about her new book, How to Be a Living Thing— an exploration on animals, embodiment, and the wild, wondrous mess of being human.

Through stories of rats and oysters, cardinals and bears, Mari explores the quiet wisdom of creatures who live without apology, who don't shrink themselves to be loved, who remind us what it is to be curious, connected, and enough.
