This book of readings, meditations, rituals and workshop notes prepared on three continents provides a context for ritual identification with the natural environment.
This book of readings, meditations, rituals and workshop notes, prepared on three continents, helps us remember that environmental defence is nothing less than "Self" defence. Including magnificent illustrations of Australia's rainforests, Thinking Like a Mountain provides a context for ritual identification with the natural environment, inviting us to begin a process of "community therapy" in defence of Mother Earth.
It helps us experience our place in the web of life, rather than on the apex of some human-centred pyramid. An important deep ecology educational tool for activists, school and religious groups, Thinking Like a Mountain can also be used for personal reflection.
