Explore an earth-based spirituality for today's planet, rooted in nature awareness, community building, and creative expression. Eco-Spirituality offers a new vision for nature spirituality both by drawing upon ancient, ancestral connections and by visioning human-nature-spirit connections for a brighter future. The authors combine their collective skill sets in druidry, wilderness survival skills, permaculture, and more, to create this new framework for engaging in an eco-centric spiritual practice and lifestyle in the 21st century. This in-depth guide explores seven principles for reenvisioning humans’ relationship with the living earth: Reconnection, Respect, Rewilding, Regeneration, Resilience, Reenchantment, and Revisioning. Each principle is introduced through storytelling and then discovered through the Bard, Ovate, and Druid framework, detailing exercises the reader can engage in to experience the principle through creative, explorative, interpersonal, and spiritual actions. Readers will explore how to • build community around nature-based ceremony, cultural sharing, and experiences in the wild; • develop meaningful skill sets such as permaculture, survival, and ancestral skills; • tap into the primordial energy of the Earth and nature through ceremony and meditation; • use ceremony to rejuvenate and regenerate the natural world; • reconnect with nature in meaningful ways, including building ecological knowledge; • rewild their lives with wild movement and creativity, and connecting to nature’s rhythms; and • tend and regenerate their local ecosystems and communities. With Eco-Spirituality, discover a guide to a more meaningful, connected, and future-oriented nature spirituality.
