In this episode, Erik Jampa discusses the notion of ecological &apos;recovery,&apos; and the ways that stories can draw us deeper into enchantment or deeper into delusion. With reference to J.R.R. Tolkien&apos;s seminal essay &apos;On Fairy-Stories,&apos; Erik talks about the three functions of &apos;fairy-stories&apos; - Recovery, Escape, and Consolation - and how the process of enchantment can help us recover a sense of what it means to be human in a more-than-human world.

The human-centred story is killing us. Our disregard for nature has not only made us less safe and less capable of sustaining a healthy environment, but also more miserable and existentially isolated. Join Erik Jampa Andersson, author of the upcoming book 'Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World is More than Human' (Hay House, 2023), on a fascinating journey of natural recovery, recovering the lost threads of our enchantment to come to a deeper sense of embodied relationship with the more-than-human world.
