Description

The Alliance for Wild Ethics (AWE) is a consortium of individuals and organizations working to ease the spreading devastation of the animate earth through a rapid transformation of culture. Founded by cultural ecologist and philosopher David Abram, AWE employs the arts, often in tandem with the natural sciences, to provoke deeply felt shifts in the human experience of nature and to revitalize local, face-to-face community. Its aim is to integrate human communities perceptually, practically, and imaginatively into the earthly bioregions that surround and support them, drawing guidance from the place-based traditions of diverse indigenous peoples and working toward the awakening of wonder.
