"Perhaps, the most important work humanity needs to shift towards is engaging with place – the lands we inhabit, the local ecology, our homes. Terrapsychology: Further Inquiry into Self, Place and Planet offers ways to enter this relationship that break our linear, western paradigms, and brings us back to story and soul. The writings teach us to reinhabit home, learn the herstory and depths of place, mend abuse and create healing, and re-embed our psyches and soma within the collective consciousness of land including all sentient and transpersonal beings. The writings within the book transform our realities and amply provide a path towards home and healing."
Jeanine M. Canty, CIIS Professor and author of Returning the Self to Nature: Undoing our Collective Narcissim and Healing Our Planet
"What an exciting gathering of essays on a cutting-edge topic: terrapsychology, a new/old revisioning of our relationships with place and the living natural presences in and around us! This will be an indispensable text for all who study psychology, ecopsychology, ecotherapy and ecospirituality."
Linda Buzzell, co-editor, Ecotherapy: Healing with Nature in Mind, Adjunct Faculty, Pacifica Graduate Institute, Santa Barbara, CA
