If you look at a mountain, you might see a skiing destination, a
climbing challenge, or even a source of timber to be logged or
ore to be mined. But there was a time when mountains were
sacred. In some places, they still are. What changes when
you think of a mountain not as a giant accumulation of natural
resources, but as a living being?

Today’s show is part of our project on kinship with the
more-than-human world — produced in collaboration with the Center
for Humans and Nature, and with support from the Kalliopeia
Foundation. You’ll find more information about the project
at ttbook.org/kinship and humansandnature.org.
