Description



About the Book



These poems are inner experiences through which readers find ways to understand planetary experience, personal and generational cause and effect, and hopefully, the courage and energy to change organically-from war, intolerance, fear, ennui.



Book Synopsis



The Great Physician: Medicinal Poetry for the Anthropocene is Dr. Mines' first major collection of poems. Poetry, she says, helps make possible "the spaciousness needed to match our inner experience to the outer catastrophe that is accelerating before our eyes. It helps us to understand." These poems are inner experiences through which she, and indirectly the reader, find a way to understand planetary experience, personal and generational cause and effect, and hopefully, the courage and energy to change organically-from war, intolerance, fear, ennui.

In her autobiographical poetry and prose, Dr. Mines shares how her personal and professional background shaped her insights into a fusion of trauma recovery and climate activism. In her global activism through her Climate Change & Consciousness nonprofit, Dr. Mines focuses on humanity's forward moving direction where inner and outer climates meet. In that place of mystery is our connection with the natural world and the living systems waiting to communicate with us, to give us what data cannot record.

In more than a dozen books that reflect her three decades of research as a neuroscientist and embryologist. She has investigated shock and trauma as a survivor, a professional, a clinical researcher, and a healthcare provider. Her work has resulted in her nonprofit, The TARA Approach, which provides practical means for the systemic change she promotes as a Regenerative Health paradigm. Her training and healing modality is used by individuals internationally and by professional counselors and organizations such as addiction clinics, abuse centers, and refugee charities.



Review Quotes




"The Great Physician has touched a sacred place within me-one of divine feminine wisdom that once lay dormant, shackled by fear and rage. It is through community with other women, through song, prayer, and somatic movement, that I've rediscovered my innate creativity and power. Her work connects all women across time and space, helping us to reclaim our rightful place as healers of the world and of ourselves." - Dr. Kristy King, MD

"The Great Physician is good medicine for my spirit, my mental and emotional being and my physical body. The Great Physician will remain on my desk where I can revisit the beautiful, sobering, compassionate, inspiring experiences exquisitely shaped into poetic form. As someone who is keen on the gift of forgiveness, healing, unity and being in conscious action for Mother Earth, people and the planet, Dr. Stephanie Mines gives the reader a reason to continue on this journey, when we feel defeated or tired. If you wish to be a life-giving force at this time of challenges and possibilities, then please read and experience this small book of poetry with big messages. " - Dr. Anita Sanchez, Nahua (Aztec) and Toltec, author of award-winning book, The Four Sacred Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times.

"I absolutely love The Great Physician. This is a wonderful gift. I read it from beginning to end. I went right down a rabbit hole, unable to pull myself away. I am touched by your compassion. I love 'What can I offer the children of Ukraine?' I loved the essay on 'Healing'. Oh, it goes on and on. I will read it again and again." - Donna Eden and David Feinstein, bestselling authors of Energy Medicine and Tapping: Self-Healing with the Transformative Power of Energy Psychology

"Entering this beautiful book pierces my heart and offers archetypal medicine. Its poetry speaks to the loss of connection to our indigenous past, the sense of severing from both ancestral trauma and from our roots, and of the need to re-inhabit both to reclaim wholeness. Its poetry traces the pathways toward revolutionary healing, from the voices of women, of ancestors and of the Earth.

"This gifted author takes us into a multi-dimensional realm of healing, and anyone seeking to re-member and integrate all their ways of knowing will find useful, true-to-the bones and real guidance in its words and stories. She offers insights into relating to this roiling time that asks so much of each of us. This time that also offers stepping stones into remembering and celebratory integration of our human wholeness." - Nina Simons, author and Co-founder and Chief Relationship Strategist, Bioneers

"Last night, I slowly savored these poems that reverberate with the direct knowing of the truth of her and our circumstances. A new sense of resolve forms in me in common intention for furthering LIFE! This is a beautiful, moving collection by Dr. Stephanie Mines that will inspire with Love for our world." - Michele Wilcox
