Healing Our World: A journey from the darkness
into the light, challenges the reader to question
just about every assumption they have about how
the Earth works and what our impact is on it.
Throughout the book are examples of how our
disconnection from the natural world and from the
rhythms of the Earth have created a distance
between humans and the planet of their birth.
Because of that distance, we don't think twice
about our damaging and destructive consumption
that is rapidly reducing the planet's life support
capacity. Activists everywhere are heeding the call
to action, hearing, as Buddhist Monk Thich Nhat
Hahn says, "the sound of the Earth crying." Click here to learn more about or to buy the book or here to visit the website.
