A Conversation with Merlin Sheldrake
A massively diverse group of organisms, fungi support and sustain nearly all living systems. Fungi throw our concepts of individuality, and even intelligence, into question. They can change our minds, heal our bodies, and even help us remediate environmental disasters. By examining fungi on their own terms, we are changing our understanding of how life works.
Join Merlin Sheldrake, biologist and author of the bestselling book Entangled Life, for an illuminating conversation with CIIS professor of Ecology and Religion Elizabeth Allison. Merlin shares the ways these extraordinary organisms, and our relationships with them, change our understanding of the planet on which we live, and the ways that we think, feel, and behave.
