COLLISIONS OF EARTH AND SKY

Heidi Barr

Connecting with Nature for Nourishment, Reflection, and Transformation

Research indicates that spending time in a natural setting provides a plethora of benefits, from lower blood pressure to increased immunity to an enhanced sense of well-being and happiness. People who appreciate nature tend to experience more moments of joy and are more innovative. Being connected to nature helps us be more fully human and better planetary citizens. But the pace of our lives often leaves little room for connecting with nature, and our history of colonization complicates our relationship to the landscapes we inhabit.

Collisions of Earth and Sky is an invitation to live in a way that is attuned to nature, paying attention to what's going on inside ourselves and in the larger collective. Guided by wellness coach and poet Heidi Barr, it is a journey of self-inquiry for digging into our origins and roots, figuring out what it means to be a good community member--both to other humans and to our nonhuman neighbors--and integrating those truths and lessons so we can add to the healing of the world. Barr shows us a way to let nature be an ally in living well, offering hopeful inspiration to continue our own path of self-discovery.

A collection of reflections, poetry, and invitations to discovery, Collisions of Earth and Sky calls you to celebrate what it is to embrace wildness as an integral part of being fully alive.

Comments

Collisions of Earth and Sky is an existential exploration of the human relationship with nature and what it really means to develop a sense of place. --Linda Åkeson McGurk, author of There's No Such Thing as Bad Weather and The Open-Air Life

While reading this wellspring of wisdom, it was like sitting at my mother's kitchen table drinking in her dichos de mi madre. These 'impossibly beautiful' contemplative insights are what is needed to heal the universe. --Aimée Medina Carr, author of River of Love

If you have ever had your ears stolen by a wild longing, if you have ever sought a grander healing, let the caress of Heidi Barr's words and rhapsodies sway you toward the magic of the world wild and alive. --Bayo Akomolafe, PhD, author of These Wilds Beyond Our Fences: Letters to My Daughter on Humanity's Search for Home

Heidi Barr's Collisions of Earth and Sky is indeed that?a collision. A confluence of ideas and feelings, excavations of the past and hope for the future. As a good writer, a good healer, a good excavator, she digs it all up and offers us a pathway to healing in the future?one that doesn't neglect our place in the historical and ecological web of relationships. --Theodore Richards, author of The Great Re-Imagining: Spirituality in an Age of Apocalypse and Reimagining the Classroom
