Sacred Earth Rising Within

The Making of a Spiritual Ecologist in a Creative Cosmos

by K. Lauren de Boer, Foreword by Matthew Fox

How does connection with nature help overcome early trauma in individuals and societies? What is the healing power of a life-giving cosmology (a comprehensive origins story) that brings us back to meaning and a sense of belonging to the universe? Part memoir, part lyrical essays and poetry, Sacred Earth Rising Within is a turn toward life in a precarious time, and carries a powerful message of hope for the human prospect. It begins with the author’s early experiences as a minister’s son, and the life changing impact of the kidnapping and attempted murder of his sister when she was eight and he was seven years old. This early trauma thrust the author into a state of spiritual rupture and a subsequent journey back toward wholeness.
