Through A Future We Can Love, readers embark on a four-part journey toward active hope in the face of the climate crisis: from knowledge of climate science, through the capacity for change, and to the will that is needed and the actions we can take.
The book will help you:
- comfort your climate anxiety and metabolize grief or burnout into wonderment and useful energy
- recognize interdependence as key to our well-being and as a lens for understanding both the climate crisis and its solutions
- clarify why feedback loops leave us no time to wait on climate action
- develop your own rituals and practices for connecting to Earth and renewing hope
- overcome common obstacles to speaking and acting clearly on behalf of the human and wild communities most affected by the climate crisis
Leaves Falling Gently is a book about living well despite changes and challenges beyond your control.
Written by a nurse, clinical scientist, and meditation practitioner who has nearly thirty years of experience working with people from different faith traditions who have serious illnesses, Leaves Falling Gently shows how the cultivation of mindfulness and compassion can help these individuals to live fully, regardless of circumstances, with peace of mind, contentment, and connection with loved ones and with what matters most.
Inspiring stories and easy-to-follow exercises guide readers to learn and apply the benefits of mindfulness and compassion practices in order to foster clarity, acceptance, and strength. Each short chapter helps readers come to terms with their situation and maintain a sense of control by offering practical guidance for coping with physical discomfort and life changes, relating to family and friends, and staying mindful and engaged even when under medical treatment or while in a hospital.
A revised and expanded version of Leaves Falling Gently will be published by Shambhala/Penguin Random House in spring 2025.
