Sacred Nature: Restoring Our Ancient Bond with the Natural World
By Karen Armstrong
In this short but deeply powerful book, the best-selling historian of religion Karen Armstrong re-sacralizes nature for modern times. Drawing on her vast knowledge of the world’s religious traditions, she vividly describes nature’s central place in spirituality across the centuries. In bringing this age-old wisdom to life, Armstrong shows modern readers how to rediscover nature’s potency and form a connection to something greater than ourselves.

Wisdomkeepers, Paqo Andino
Wisdomkeepers, Paqo Andino is an experiential film conveying the heart-intelligence and celestially integrated lifeways of the Andean Holy Mountain Tradition. Filmed on location in the Peruvian highlands, this inspirational documentary film takes its viewers on a journey into an ancient eco-spiritual tradition to experience the practical and mystical lifeways that have sustained one of humankind’s few uninterrupted wisdom lineages.
This unnarrated intimate documentary by acclaimed filmmaker Jeffrey Wium provides an unmediated experience of the Andean maestro’s daily life and the active, reciprocal relationships with the conscious life force inherent within all aspects of the natural world. It offers universally applicable insights into a holistic state of being based on loving kindness, unconditional reciprocity, equality, sustainability, and the sanctity of daily life – the foundations of what is known as Living Peace. You can watch the full documentary on Gaia.
