Awakening the Eco-Soul: Reclaiming our Wild Nature — A First Step to Restoring our Wounded World "Many believe that the critical time we find ourselves in requires the greatest vision the world has ever known. Yet, while the call is global, the journey is personal. We are being asked to claim the mountain’s granite strength that resides in the depths of our souls. As the poet Rilke wrote: I want a lot. Perhaps I want everything: the darkness that comes with every infinite fall and the shivering blaze of every step up. When we seek this range of aliveness, we make the mountains our home. For life in the mountain Soulscape™ is a grand and risky adventure." —Awakening the Eco-Soul, The Mountains

As we destroy the wilderness, what happens to the wild soul? What if each leaf, rock, river and star was longing to communicate to us, to share with us its wild nature? Could we then come to understand the wild expanse of our own soul ecology? And what if pollution, clear-cutting, domination and exploitation of the wilderness were metaphors for how our own wild nature is being endangered by our modern industrialized lifestyle?

Awakening the Eco-Soul initiates an inner wilderness journey into five archetypal Soulscapes™ in search of answers to these challenging questions. As the reader travels deep into the heart of these regions they will discover a pathway to living that will allow the wild expanses both inside and outside of them to flourish and thrive.

Awakening the Eco-Soul is the only book that:

• Guides the reader on a journey through five Soulscapes™ that connect our inner terrain of psyche and soul with the great landscape archetypes of the earth
  
  
• Connects the environmental crisis and soul crisis in ways that expose our shared destiny with wildness everywhere
  
  
• Empowers the reader to reclaim their own wild nature as a first step to healing the wounded world
  
  
• Inspires us to heal the wounds of Self and wounds of planet, guided by the truth of our own wild souls

Challenging, provocative and, at times, as demanding as a high mountain ascent, if you care for the wellbeing of the Earth and your own soul ecology, this book will affect profound changes in your life.
