In this season finale, Brie invites on biologist, philosopher and author,  Dr.Andreas Weber, to discuss his premise of an erotic ecology in his book "Matter and Desire."  Together they explore how enlivenment is a shared reciprocity of becoming as a shift from any domination paradigm inherited from empire-christianity, and how we might compost platonic ideas of incompleteness for the sake of a plenitude-driven-creativity as a catalyst for, and outcome of, that enlivenment. Andreas Weber teaches at the University of the Arts, Berlin, and he lives in Berlin and Italy.  His latest books include "Enlivenment: Toward a Poetics for the Anthropocene" and the book most discussed in this conversation, "Matter and Desire: An Erotic Ecology."   If you're interested in learning more about Brie's "The Weave,"  a journey through four seasons online course on how Unknowing relates to an ecological and creative cycle, you can sign up here, or click here to watch a brief promo video about the offering.  The Weave is comprised of four seasons of courses (womb-winter, woo-spring, wield-summer, wean-fall) and will be a 2023 journey for an Unknowing cohort and include 1:1 companioning with Brie.

In this second to last episode of Season 3, Brie invites process theologian and author Catherine Keller to help explain how process might invite a more compatible paradigm to the efforts of composting Christianity, and a to a more relational and ecological worldview.   Catherine Keller is Professor of Constructive Theology at the Theological School of Drew University. In her teaching, lecturing and writing, she develops the relational potential of a theology of becoming. Her books reconfigure ancient symbols of divinity for the sake of a planetary conviviality—a life together, across vast webs of difference. Thriving in the interplay of ecological and gender politics, of process cosmology, poststructuralist philosophy and religious pluralism, her work is both deconstructive and constructive in strategy.

Brie continues the inquiry of "Composting Christianity" with author Sophie Strand, exploring how re-rooting and re-wilding the gospel stories into their environment, place and time, can free Jesus' revolutionary movement to be freed from empire...and simply spore into erotic ecological reciprocity in our time now. Sophie Strand is a writer based in the Hudson Valley who focuses on the intersection of spirituality, storytelling, and ecology. But it would probably be more authentic to call her a neo-troubadour animist with a propensity to spin yarns that inevitably turn into love stories. Her first book of essays The Flowering Wand: Lunar Kings, Lichenized Lovers, Transpecies Magicians, and Rhizomatic Harpists Heal the Masculine is out November 28 from Inner Traditions. Her eco-feminist historical fiction reimagining of the gospels The Madonna Secret will also be published in 2023.
