  • The Animist Approach to Being Human - with Daniel Foor

    The Animist Approach to Being Human - with Daniel Foor
    Jan 21 2025
    "The amount of suffering among the dead is really tremendous. And one of the cruelest things that the living do is internalize this reductionist materialist idea that when you die, you stop existing." Sah and ritualist Daniel Foor explore the profound ways our ancestors influence our lives, from inherited trauma to spiritual wellbeing. Together they challenge Western individualism, examining how troubled ancestral spirits can affect their living descendants and how we might heal these generational wounds. Daniel shares wisdom from animist traditions that see all of nature—from trees and mountains to stones—as conscious, living beings, suggesting this ancient way of relating to the world could transform our modern crises. Through stories and practical insights, they investigate how colonialism has severed our connection not just to ancestors, but to the living Earth itself, and how rekindling these relationships could revolutionize our understanding of being human. Whether you're curious about ancestral healing, struggling with inherited patterns, or seeking a deeper connection with the natural world, this conversation offers a bold new vision of existence. Don't miss this exploration of how healing our relationship with both the dead and the more-than-human world can transform our understanding of who we are. GUEST BIO Daniel is a doctor of psychology, experienced ritualist, and the author of Ancestral Medicine: Rituals for Personal and Family Healing. He is an initiate in the Òrìṣà tradition of Yoruba-speaking West Africa and practicing Muslim who has also learned from Mahayana Buddhism and the older ways of his English and German ancestors. Daniel is passionate about generational healing and training leaders and change makers in the intersections of cultural healing, animist ethics, and applied ritual arts.
