Co-creative practices of a biomestizo

Abstract

The journey began with an invitation from a Japanese crabapple, Malus floribunda. Drawn to his unseen beauty, the author embarked on a five-year exploration of daily co-creative practices guided by admiration, grace, and gratitude. This path expanded to other species and forests, revealing how plants and humans can co-create a shared world. Deep engagement with the plant realm mends our divisions with Life, fostering a "biomestizo" identity and a paradigm of interdependence and respect. By embracing co-creative relationships with non-human Life, we can cultivate solutions to ecological and spiritual crises, opening the way for a harmonious future.
