This book takes readers on a journey that is part storytelling,
part academic analysis, and part spiritual exploration. The authors
identify the climate emergency as a breakdown in spiritual
consciousness which fails to recognize our deep interconnection
with Nature. To meet this crisis of spirit, Storying Our
Relationship with Nature serves as a guide for transforming
ourselves and our lives through story. The authors introduce the
philosophical and historical foundations of our objectification of
nature as a commodity and describe the effect this view has on our
lives. They detail a path forward through storytelling,
contemplative practice, Eastern philosophy, and the transformative
power of education. Throughout the book, reflective activities
provide a space for the reader to personalize their learning,
leading the reader towards the book’s central message: once we
learn to consciously re-story our relationship with Nature, we can
transform our cultural narrative of fatalism and greed into one of
love, determination, and possibility, helping us move towards a
sustainable future.
