Connect to the Earth

Book excerpt: CONNECT TO THE EARTH for children of all ages introduces Mother Earth to readers through eco-psychology and a good sense of what life within an Earth Relationship can mean. Mother EarthÕs presence helps children learn about the calming effects of being in nature and the benefits of not being afraid in life, demonstrating the wisdom and insight of MariaÕs unique perspective. Illustrations by visionary artist and teacher Jill Stevenson are interlaced with the text making each page a powerful experience. ""I grew up in nature, and it was in Nature that I learned not to be afraid. I found my voice. I learned to calm my emotions. Many years later, I began sharing the ways of EarthWisdom, and have learned that returning children to a relationship with the Earth can mean all the difference in mental health and self esteem as they grow."" What a wonderful offering Ð will help get kids started right! Ð Brooke Medicine Eagle, Metis EarthWisdom teacher
