Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life

Since the beginning of this year, we have been reading Merlin Sheldrake’s inspiring book Entangled Life. Both being passionate mushroom hunters, this book shows us so many more and unexpected levels of how our life is interconnected with these often hidden organisms.

Over the course of the months our copies of the book have themselves become an interconnected organism “connected to each other, not linearly, but in a net-like, entangled fabric” to quote Humboldt.

This reading session takes place online in collaboration with Zabriskie Buchladen für Kultur und Natur, Berlin. For more info.
