CEARCALL is an Artistic Research platform aimed at investigating how artistically embodying Nature Based Spirituality can function as a form of ecological activism. Through providing a platform for individuals to write, research, draw, photograph, film and document their developing relationship with nature and the animate earth, we hope to contribute to a conceptual shift towards reconnection with the rest of our ecosystem. This has never before been more crucial; in times of anthropocentric climate change our loss of connection to the earth as mother is leading us towards our own eventual destruction. As part of a movement to correct this dislocation CEARCALL invites individuals to share artistic reflections exploring nature based spirituality which we define as;
‘Belief in both the sacredness of nature; as generated by experiences of harmony, happiness, awe, wonder ect… alongside belief in the earth as living or animate entity which we can gain wisdom from observing and conversing with.’
With the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change informing that this is the crucial decade for determining the survival of our species, CEARCALL believes that arts and spirituality must work alongside science and politics in conceptualising creative solutions for mass mobilisation and value/system shifts.
Believing that the health of society, the planet and individual mental/spiritual health are inherently linked CEARCALL works with Satish Kumar’s trinity framework of; ‘Soil, Soul and Society’. Engaging both Artistically and Academically with the current crisis in our consciosuness, CEARCALL aims to contribute to growing calls for an evolution of our understanding of our place within the larger ecosystem of life.
