Many of us are beginning to gain an awareness of the ways that we have lost our connection to the earth and are no longer living in harmony with our natural environment. Although we are constantly connecting to each other through technology, we are becoming more and more disconnected from the non-human living beings of the planet, which can leave us feeling alone and spiritually adrift. Reconnecting to the Earth: Reclaiming our Relationship to Nature and Ourselves is a guidebook on your journey towards a closer relationship with yourself and your planet, which will allow you to reclaim your soul and reconnect with sacred Mother Earth.
