Be More Bonsai

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Find peace, calm and serenity through the ancient practice of cultivating bonsai.

Rooted in ancient Eastern philosophies, every part of a bonsai tree is symbolic of our life and experiences. A bonsai shedding leaves is symbolic of letting go of our material possessions; tending to the roots helps support and nourish the tree, much the same as our own beliefs and values. Many more aspects of bonsai offer serene life lessons to help us enrich and enjoy our lives.

Be More Bonsai will also delve into the philosophy and lessons to be learnt from tending to bonsai, contain a 'potted' history of this fascinating ancient culture, and offer a comprehensive guide to cultivating bonsai.
