Sah is joined by Erik Jampa Andersson, author of “Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World is More than Human” to discuss the links between human and non-human beings, a radical new way of viewing life in this world, and how it can inform a deeper connection to spirituality.

Chöd: The Tibetan Practice of Severance 5. Decolonising “ecology,” “environmentalism,” and the “Anthropocene” 6. How to go beyond anthropocentrism in our spiritual practice 7. The true origin story of The Devil, and how we misunderstand it in the modern world Erik Jampa Andersson is the author of ‘Unseen Beings: How We Forgot the World is More than Human’ (coming this May 2023, Hay House UK), and a scholar, practitioner, and teacher of Tibetan Medicine and Tibetan Buddhism.
