The Earth Path: Grounding Our
Spirit in the Rhythms of Nature
by Starhawk

EARTH AS TEACHER
Earth As Healer
Whether we are looking to heal and transform our personal hurts or the huge wounds our society inflicts on the earth and other human beings, the earth herself is our greatest teacher and healer.
The ancient Goddess traditions had no sacred texts or dogmas: instead, their mystics learned to read the book of nature. Understanding how the earth’s cycles work, how change occurs in nature, and how mother earth designs co-evolving, interdependent systems can help us be better designers of the changes we want to see in our own life and the world.
This online course weaves together readings, rituals, meditations and directed excercises, stories and journaling to help us connect more deeply with the great transformative powers of nature.
We’ll explore each of the elements: air, fire, water and earth, in both mystical and practical ways, bringing ourselves more deeply into contact with their enlivening energies, and taking the practical steps that can bring our lifestyles back into balance with the earth. We’ll learn how to save energy, harvest water, bring soil alive, and create fertility in our gardens and our projects.
Our connection to earth is our deepest source of hope, renewal, and strength. Now, when climate change and ecological stress assault the earth’s life support systems, this course will help us find hope, renewed strength, and practical tools for healing. |
