Útesita - Full Moon May 26th 2021
Eleven artists, writers and researchers from the Nordic “State of the art network” have been staying outside at each their special chosen place in nature during the Full Moon night May 26th.
The intention was - during this awakening night or “Útesita” in the old nordic language, to open ourselves towards understanding our entanglement with nature and to listen to the voice of the landscape and the more-than-human world. The intention was also to express the experience of listening and the answers we got in a way that could be shared with others.
We used this question to our chosen place during the útesita
I ask of you to share with me the gift of any message that I could share with others
We humbly thank the different places in nature where we have had our útesita and hope that our interpretation of the answers we have received can inspire others.
Only through understanding our entanglement, mutual influence and equality with nature and the more-than-human world, can we create a sustainable future.
