Two summers ago, I led a series of collective rituals inviting people to bring slime moulds into their magic to feed a new type of spirit for a new world - something in the shape of a branching network. As with all great works, I learned a little something on the way - in this case about how to nurture a regenerative network.

Networks in nature made up of single-celled creatures without brains or nervous systems can solve mazes, predict rhythms in time, efficiently distribute resources and share information for mutual aid and collective resilience. What might we humans be capable of if we work together and connect with something that goes beyond us?
