Episode 6: Dr. Sarah Pike on Ritual, Radical Eco-Activism & Paganism

SUMMARY

Welcome back to another episode of the Sustainable Spirit Podcast! In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Sarah Pike, a distinguished professor of Comparative Religion at California State University, Chico, and an expert in ritual studies, discusses her book For the Wild: Psychological Roots of Radical Eco-Activism. Her insights offer a profound understanding of the intersection of ritual and radical eco-activism.

The episode begins with Dr. Pike exploring her inspiration to explore radical eco-activism after observing the FBI’s labelling of such activists as a major domestic terrorism threat around 2006.

She then defines ‘ritual’ in the context of eco-activism and suggests ways in which non-activists can adopt simple nature-based rituals to foster a connection with the environment. Dr. Pike observes that these rituals contribute to the emotional resilience of activists, providing a sense of community and commitment.

As such, she goes on to encourage listeners to harness the power of rituals to build resilience and spark change.
