[Interview] Understanding Animism & How it Can Benefit Us and the Planet (feat. Laura Giles)

<p>Animism is the belief that everything in the world, including people, plants, animals, objects and even dreams and ideas, have a soul or spirit which "animates" them or makes them "conscious." Animism is a key feature in many ancient religions, especially of indigenous tribal cultures. It can also be identified in different forms throughout major modern world religions.</p> <p>To tell us more about this fascinating world, I invited Laura Giles. Laura is a licensed clinical social worker, spiritual mentor, speaker, and author. Her passion is helping people achieve their dreams and become empowered to solve their own problems. She is founder of Pan Society, a spiritual community dedicated to embodying and expressing the Oneness of all creation. </p> <p>In our conversation, Laura and I discuss the various facets of animism including its origins, where it’s still practiced today, and how we can incorporate it into our own spiritual practice to improve both our lives and the lives of others.</p> <p>If you liked what you heard, please don’t forget to like, rate, share and subscribe to this podcast!</p>
