Nature invites all to receive the grand inheritance of the great outdoors, yet modern life estranges us from many of its greatest gifts: sanctuary, superabundance, peace, and belonging. It's time to end our exile from true flourishing, and take our place in the wisdom of the wild. Modern mystic and pilgrimage guide Lucinda M. Vardey calls what we hunger for the Green Soul - the active participation of one's being with the larger, living being of all creation. The greening of the soul promises: the joys of enchantment; purpose and participation in the world's deepest aliveness; authentic embodiment; and a collective consciousness upon which the healing of our world depends. Lucinda's field notes emerge from her own environment: a 500-year-old farmhouse in an ancient valley in Tuscany, neighbouring fields of wildflowers, a mountain stream, and an ancient stone barn now dedicated as a chapel for climate care.
