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.
Breathe Deep Productions 2008

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.”

IMAGINE 1 MILLION HOME GARDENS ACROSS THE US! New from Breathe Deep Productions: 30-Square Foot Garden A How-To Guide Breathe Beep Productions 2008 By Chris Korrow Creator of the award-winning documentary, seen on PBS, Garden Insects 24-page booklet $5.00 includes shipping Bulk discounts available on 100 copies or more -- buy them for all of your school parents, church memebers, collegues, office companions and neighbors!! After many years of farming and teaching gardening classes, spurred on by recent news reports of higher food prices, Korrow was inspired to put in writing this easy-to-follow method that would engage people and attract them to the simplicity of growing their own organic food. The booklet details how to turn a small plot of lawn into a garden, which varieties to plant, how much of each and resources where people can learn more. The booklet also explains how much fuel and money can be saved by growing a 30-Square Foot Garden. Gardening is of the most important keys to turning around our environmental, financial and health crises. By getting involved in nature and consuming fresh high vitality food we have the opportunity to experience the beautiful, abundant co-creative powers of nature. Through this we can learn new ways of creating social systems, healing modalities, expanded joy in our lives, and health in our relationships. About the author: Chris Korrow is a Kentucky-based filmmaker, photgrapher, author, naturalist, organic gardener, and a home schooling father. He blends his passion for nature observation and agriculture with his skill in photography as a way to educate adults and children about the beauty and intelligence of nature. His award-winning documentary, “Garden Insects,” premiered nationwide on PBS in 2007 and has been broadcast nationally numerous times since. The film was edited and produced in Korrow’s on-farm office. His new book, Awakening to Nature: Gardening and Nature Observation as a Path of Spiritual Development features his essays and photography. His family has lived a “green” lifestyle in Kentucky for almost 20 years – growing food, bailing water by hand from a well, and lighting their home with energy from solar panels. Order your copy now!
