My Octopus Teacher
A Conversation with Craig Foster:
Finding the Wild Within
“You are not separate from nature. You are nature, remembering itself.”
My Octopus Teacher — Academy Award 2021
Craig Foster — How can we reclaim a soul-deepening wildness when daily life insists on taming us?
Craig Foster is a leading natural history filmmaker and co-founder of the Sea Change Project. He won an Academy Award for Best Documentary for My Octopus Teacher. Craig has spent 30 years in daily, intimate relationship with the wild. In his new book Amphibious Soul he asks: how can we reclaim a soul-deepening wildness when daily life insists on taming us? And then — "too many of us are hungry for a different way of living to give ourselves entirely over to the tame."
We have forgotten that we are nature, not something apart from it. We have forgotten our interconnectedness with the living world, and with each other. And we have forgotten that our rightful place of belonging is right here, in the sacred, ecological web of life. Craig Foster is one of the most compelling guides into that remembering.
