In Rewilding the Human Heart A Journey of Reunion, Sharifa Oppenheimer invites the reader to travel with her into a new and ancient relationship with the living Earth.
This journey is a return to humanity's ancient roots in Earth wisdom. Sharifa strips away the veneer of "nature appreciation" and celebrates a homecoming to humanity's primordial embodied symbiosis with Gaia. She guides fellow travelers not only through outer terrains but also into interior landscapes of the soul. Along the byways of this spirited ramble the alchemical properties of the cardinal elements and the primordial realms of nature become readily accessible. Through ritual, story, science, breath, and internal inquiry, this exploration is a journey of transformation. The emerald Earth is calling us to come to our senses, to rejoin the great conversation among all beings. Rewilding the Human Heart is a living map that returns us home to our fellow Earthlings.
