NEW BOOK!
Awakening to Nature:
Gardening and Nature Observation as a Path of Spiritual Development
As a follow-up to his documentary, Garden Insects,
which premiered nationally on PBS in July of 2007, Chris Korrow presents
a new book:
Awakening to Nature: Gardening and Nature Observation as a Path of Spiritual
Development
The book uses examples from nature, family life, gardening and social
observation –– through
humor, common sense, a quieted mind, and a tweaked perspective –– to
show how to cultivate a meditative state and expand our consciousness.
Each page is fully illustrated with his original photographic art work.
With global warming on the forefront of our minds, Awakening to Nature offers
a solution that begins with the individual. Global warming is not a problem
to fix “out there” –– changing who we are is
the first step to changing the world around us.
Appropriate for study groups, starting points for group discussion
or individual contemplative moments.
108 pages, fully illustrated, black and white, 8 1/2 x 11 over-sized
book.

From the jacket:
“Nature has played a monumental role in the pursuit of enlightenment and
our experiences with temporary enlightened states. There are very definite
reasons for this, one of the most notable is the fact that the divine is much
easier for us to recognized and digest in it’s “natural state” than
in our “everyday created lives.”
As a society we have become increasingly detached from the earth, our
food sources, and from the inner workings of nature. Yet we constantly
have the opportunity to reconnect with the world in a way that is up
close and personal – through
our own gardens, backyards and neighborhoods. The miraculous is always
there, ready to sweep us into her grace, if we can developed our ability
to recognize it.
Korrow takes us on a journey into a world we encounter every day, yet
have rarely “seen” before, awakening
us to the fact that we are not as separate from nature as we might
think.”
