What if the crises we face – environmental, social, even personal – stem from a deeper disconnection at the level of worldview? In Restoring the Kinship Worldview, Wahinkpe Topa (Four Arrows) and Darcia Narvaez invite us to rediscover a different way of seeing the world – one rooted in relationship, reciprocity, and reverence. Drawing on 28 Indigenous precepts and a wide range of voices, the book offers both a powerful critique of the dominant Western paradigm and a gentle call to live in a more balanced, connected way.
Keeping a Nature Journal by Clare Walker Leslie is more than a drawing guide – it’s a soulful invitation to observe, reflect, and reconnect with the living world. Filled with inspiring sketches, accessible tips, and gentle wisdom, it turns simple moments outdoors into a contemplative practice. Ideal for those seeking a meaningful, creative habit rooted in nature and self-awareness.
Finding Hildasay is Christian Lewis’s deeply moving memoir of walking Britain’s coastline to heal from depression and rediscover meaning. Through storms and stillness, solitude and kindness, his story reveals how nature becomes both mirror and guide. A beautiful testament to resilience, inner renewal, and the quiet wisdom of the Wanderer archetype.
