To meet this crisis of spirit, \u003cem\u003eStorying Our Relationship with Nature\u003c\/em\u003e serves as a guide for transforming ourselves and our lives through story and highlights the importance of social and emotional aspects of environmental education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe authors introduce the philosophical and historical foundations of our objectification of Nature as a commodity and describe the effect this view has on our lives. They detail a path forward through storytelling, contemplative practice, Eastern philosophy, and the transformative power of education. Throughout the book, reflective activities provide a space for the reader to personalise their learning, leading the reader towards the book’s central message: once we learn to consciously re-story our relationship with Nature, we can transform our cultural narrative of fatalism and greed into one of love, determination, and possibility, helping us move towards a sustainable future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47598609662188,"sku":"9781350361362","price":51.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9eeabffe89fb39df1e81d8b6414fc90a.jpg?v=1778025736"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jing-lin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
