Nature and the Human Soul by
Bill Plotkin. His website, www.animas.org, offers the first
chapter to read. The book describes an
ecopsychological development from birth to death
that beautifully weaves together the work of
Joanna Macy, David Korten, Paul Hawken, among
others.
His premises in writing the book are that a more mature human society requires more mature human individuals, nature (including our own deeper nature, soul) has always provided and still provides the best template for human maturation, and every human being has a unique and mystical relationship to the wild world, and that the conscious discovery and cultivation of that relationship is at the core of true adulthood.
