In the November/December issue we celebrate a sense of unity and connection with the natural world.

In our arts pages, we explore the powerful paintings of Hilma af Klint who believed that the world began with unity and only later became fractured into polarities. The story of how we all began is also the subject for our Keynotes article, in which Michael Barrett invites us to look again at the book of Genesis, step away from the notion of 'mastery' over the living planet and focus on our connectivity.

In Ethical Living, Sue Kittow describes how the solitary act of walking nurtures a sense of unity, and in our Undercurrents section Andrew Papworth and Tim Fisher share a way of addressing family conflict inspired by Maori culture.

Just as united we stand, divided we fall: this is the message at the heart of our Ecologist interview, where senior climate consultant Suzanne Dhaliwal calls out racism in the environmental movement. "We need a model of organising that is a mirror of the world that we are trying to create," she says. "Keep talking about things", she urges. And keep listening.

Her words remind us of songbirds in winter, treecreepers, long-tailed tits and wrens, and more, who flock together to improve their chances of finding food and surviving. As we prepare ourselves for the challenges ahead, we can follow their example and take strength from unity.

We hope you find much to enjoy in this issue of Resurgence & Ecologist and can take time to explore many of our featured articles.
