Concept: Anima Mundi

Anima Mundi, Latin for "world soul," is a philosophical idea that suggests the universe itself has a soul or a vital principle connecting everything within it. Conceptually, it implies that all living and non-living things are interconnected through a spiritual or energetic essence, creating a unified, living whole. Originating in ancient philosophy, particularly Platonism and Stoicism, Anima Mundi explains the harmony and interconnectedness observed in nature. It encourages viewing the universe as a single, living organism where everything influences and is influenced by the collective soul that animates and sustains it.
