Produktbeschreibung

In forest clearings, beneath star-filled skies, in cathedrals, and before the hearth, women and men have always given voice to the impulse to celebrate the world that surrounds and sustains them. Now, as our planet faces an uncertain future, Elizabeth Roberts and Elias Amidon present a collection of prayers, poems and invocations from around the world to honor the earth in this era of heightened awareness of our relationship to the environment.

From Walt Whitman, Thich Nhat Hanh and Black Elk, to Margaret Atwood, the Rig Veda and the chant of a Samar fisherman, a worldwide chorus offers songs and prayers for land, sea, and air; graces for food; and invocations, poems, and passages that draw on the common spiritual heritage of all who cherish creation.

Elizabeth Roberts, Ed.D. and Elias Amidon are well known advocates for social justice and spiritual awakening. Co-founders and directors of the Boulder Institute for Nature and the Human Spirit, they are on the faculty of the Naropa Institute, and lead rites-of-passage ceremonies, spiritual retreats, and transformation programs across the United States, Europe, and Southeast Asia. Together they edited Earth Prayers and Life Prayers.

"Through this extraordinary collection of prayers from all the world and from all historical periods we finally awaken to the presence of the divine that comes to us through the Earth and the entire natural world."

- Thomas Berry, author of The Dream of the Earth
