When You Could Hear the Trees – Kerri ní Dochartaigh

In this narrated essay, Kerri ní Dochartaigh’s experiences of
pregnancy and motherhood bring her into an emerging realization of
her own mammalhood. When she encounters her animal self, deeply
embedded in the ecosystems around her, it transforms everything:
her sense of home and safety; what it means to feel, to act, to
care through the ancient, feral knowledge of instinct. Listening
for teachings from the Earth, Kerri feels her way through the
anguish and tenderness of raising a child in a burning and
breaking—and beautiful—world. Read this essay. Learn more about our
