This is a quality book with glinting printing on the cover, the reader will be impressed by this excellent material written by two specialists in the area of ecology and how it relates to spirituality. We o-ao-author can all learn a lot from this presentation. Dana 0’Driscoll is an Anamist Druid, currently serving as Grand ArchDruid in the Ancient Order of Druids in America. She authored the book ‘Sacred Actions’ and she is a Permaculture Practitioner. Her co-author, Nate Summers is an ancestral skills teacher and survival expert , and he authored the book, ‘Primal’ and ‘Shadow Survival’. 

We often discuss what the word spirituality means, and this book describes it well as a new vision for our lives. Ecology is the greatest of spiritual paths for today’s world of excess, materialism, consumerism and the resultant pollution and depletion of our planet’s finite resources. What is required of us comes alive as we read through the inspirational text. 

7 Principles are offered: Reconnection, Respect, Rewilding, Regeneration, Resilience, Reenchantment, and ReVisioning. Exercises and stories are included to help us grow in understanding and empowerment and to help us create the world that is required to save our planet and the amazing species which inhabit it with us. Very few books are life changing! This one is designed to change our life in a way where our spirituality is expressed dynamically and in a way that is deeply imperative. 

This is for the person who wants to make a difference, for someone of any age, class or background. It would also make an excellent gift of opportunity to sit and tell friends about your new spiritual paths, one that offers wisdom, truth, and caring and teaches us about something greater than the self and has been handed down to us from ancient times.
