Description

Siv Watkins is a Ph.D. environmental microbiologist specializing in the examination of microorganism activity. Through her studies and spiritual work, Siv has become deeply rooted in the philosophy of animism (consciously relating to microbes, plants, and non-human species). Siv offers three related services: knowing and understanding microbes a.k.a. “the smalls”, a scientific consultation on the study of the smalls, and mental health support in academia.



In this episode, we talk about:



What microanimism isHow plant life is self-sustainableDeveloping a relationship with the non-human worldRespectfully introducing yourself to non-human organisms and microbesHow intuition is frowned upon in scienceHow everything begins with microbesChallenging the idea that microbes and people cannot relate to one anotherWorking with Daniel Foor to develop ancestral work in relation to microanimismIdentifying what you are in service to in the worldThe importance of cultivating curiosityHow academia is a business at the expense of discovery Learning how to be present through work with horsesSiv’s sacred geometry face tattoo talismanGuiding people to connect with the smalls







Bonus! Siv discusses the process of cultivating microbes (including bacteria and mushrooms) and best practices for respectful interplay in this week’s secret episode!
