Grounded - by Erin Yu-Juin McMorrow (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Explore the inner and outer work needed to align with the cycles of nature in order to save our planet, beginning with the soul of our soil.

We know the environment is in trouble--and we're seeing direct effects on human health as a result. Only when we restore our natural connection with the earth can we help to heal it and ourselves. This is the premise of Grounded, a clarion call and revolutionary guide from author Dr. Erin Yu-Juin McMorrow.

Based on current trends, it's estimated that over 90% of the earth's soils could become degraded by 2050, affecting food production, flooding, and clean water supplies. This isn't a doomsday prophecy--it is our realistic future if we don't take action now. In this revised and updated edition, McMorrow provides tools and practices to transform ourselves, our socioeconomic systems, and the environment that sustains. It's time to ground ourselves, returning to a cyclical, regenerative style of living, eating, loving, and dying. "Being grounded involves rooting within ourselves to expand in the world," explains McMorrow. "It means navigating from a place of power, clarity, creativity, and balance."

Explore the ecological and spiritual basis of our existing climate crises--including what's happening with our soil and carbon cycles--to understand how we've gotten into our current state. Grounded gives us the wisdom and guidance to do the sacred work of reconnecting with the divine feminine and initiating transformation to address our carbon legacy and save our planet (and ourselves).
