All contributors to the issue “Bridging Worlds” find their social location within the Western world, yet they are seeking to bridge to Indigenous paradigms. These forays towards Indigenous ways of knowing and being are attempts to remember, recover, and reaffirm paradigms inherently dedicated to sustainability and processes of balance. Commitments to such ontological, epistemological, and ethical values deconstruct the strongly-boundaried masterful self enshrined in the West and facilitate movements towards more porous and interconnected ways of being in the world. Exchanging the conquering, masterful attitude for one of receptive listening and participatory engagement with the world represents an initial step towards remembrance of relationality and interdependence in the profound Indigenous sense, as it is lived to this day by aboriginal peoples all over this world.

By attending and listening deeply to the voices present in dreams and the dreambody, plants, water, the Northern Lights, living presences in nature become communicative partners. Adopting a stance of sacred respect and humility toward the intelligence dwelling within nature becomes a bridge towards  ecological intimacy and aware entanglement with the web of life. This is an initial step towards presence in a relational and interdependent world that Indigenous peoples the world over have always embodied.
