Summary

Modern life cuts us off from our roots. Our urban lives, often full of activity and anxieties, commonly lack resources which ground and fulfill us. Meanwhile, as a species, our behaviour threatens to destroy the planet on which we live. Reconnecting with the natural world deeply transforms us, both psychologically and spiritually. This important book presents an approach to working with the environment which will appeal to both professional and general readers.
