THE SPACESHIP EARTH PODCAST EP 70 - Ocean Mic - Easkey Britton - Ebb and Flow
May 19, 2023

What if the health of the wild waters of the Earth are a reflection of human health?
What if restoring our relationship with the wild waters on this earth was a way to restore and heal our own health ?
How might moving into a more intentional relationship with water within us and around us help us through these times of fear, grief and complexity?
How might cultivating practices and rituals with water today begin to catalyse cultural shifts towards a return of the sacredness between humans and the waters on this Earth?
Easkey Britton is a surfer, scientist, academic, social ecologist, activist, writer and artist who has dedicated her life to exploring connection with the ocean and wild waters of this Earth and understanding our human relationship with water as watery beings.
This is Easkey’s third time on the podcast and this episode is in honour of her new book Ebb and Flow, Connect with the Patterns and Power of Water.
An essential book for this moment, as we are beginning to understand through witnessing the health of the rivers and ocean around us - what we do to the wild waters of this Earth ultimately we do to ourselves.
Packed with wisdom and practices to restore health to ourselves and the wild waters around us, Easkey has weaved together insight and intelligence from her own deep experiences and those of wisdom keepers, water guardians, scientists, activists and indigenous scholars from all over Spaceship Earth.
This conversation riffs on a number of threads in the book.
This is an Ocean Mic episode in collaboration with Finisterre
