Rewilding The Senses

Each thing or being we meet in nature, everything that we observe, has its own hidden existence. If we have the skills to perceive it, we are swept into a dynamic relationship, an understanding, where the creation mysteries of our world unfold, and where we potentially transform. We create a bridge between our rational intellectual mind and our inner world, and to the soul of the world, reshaping all of life toward holistic wellbeing and the birth of an ecological consciousness as a more sustainable world emerges.

Humanity seeks the unseen sacred within everyday life. Rewilding the Senses seeks to help individuals in their development of an ecological consciousness by extending our understanding and capabilities of sensory experience and perception as faculties for restoring our connection with the more-than-human world. A comprehensive set of sensory and cognitive practices are suggested. This book aims to inspire people to get back to the great outdoors and explore these ideas in nature. If we can change the way we experience the world, it evolves our personal consciousness, and dissolves boundaries—we experience ourselves as less and less separate from the web of life—restoring well-being not only for ourselves, but also for our planet.
