Tue May 9, 2023 3:00 PM – 4:30 PM EDT
Online, Zoom
Join us for a conversation about soul-activism and what it looks like today in the age of information entities and new synthetic intelligences. Andreas will discuss his latest art/magic project called the “Demblem” which is based on medieval rune magic to resist the shadows of social media, artificial intelligences and the highly manipulating art of logo design. He will reveal to us the idea of the “breath of symbols” and how symbols can be used to upsurge a psychological and spiritual resilience. To find a voice from the deep imagination and calling in the organic intelligences, to speak back to the areas where we have failed and to take a stand and not allow ourselves to be dominated. We will go tracking for the old storm Gods and hear of their force of nature and which of the Heathen values we should be wise to preserve in our modern times.
About Andreas
Andreas Kornevall is an author, storyteller and ecological activist. He grew up in South America, Sweden and Switzerland, and now directs the Earth Restoration Service charity. In response to the sixth mass extinction, he was the catalyst behind the Life Cairn movement: memorials for species rendered extinct at human hands. As a storyteller, he works with old myths and fairytales which shine a torchlight on life’s journey; his stories tend to gravitate around the Norse material which have led him to lecture and perform in universities and other educational centres. He is also a prize-winning author, whose work has been published in magazines such as Resurgence, The Ecologist, Permaculture magazine and in the Dark Mountain series. He is a member of the ‘Forn Sed’ (Old Customs Association) in Sweden which works closely with ancient Norse culture, traditions and spirituality, unearthing old legends, forgotten folklore and endangered Norse languages.
Through his charity he has planted over 200 woodlands in the United Kingdom and he has recently been voted by the University of Southern California as one of their 100 spiritual exemplars.
