SACRED LAND, SACRED SEX is the only complete manual on deep experiential ecology, written by the movement's first woman advocate. SACRED LAND provides a radical historical perspective on the philosophical & economic roots of Western civilization's divorce from nature. Through cross-cultural anthropological research, SACRED LAND then discusses humanity's original roots in relationship to ecosystems & animals, & in nature as the source of our spiritual & aesthetic consciousness. Finally, SACRED LAND serves as a vital resource for dozens of traditional rituals that can help us to break our alienation from nature, & from each other, in order to move toward committed, fulfilling relationships. SACRED LAND also provides: * an appendix outlining ten "Skillful Strategies" for rediscovering our original humanity & effecting change at a local level * a list of organizational resources * detailed reference notes * a selected bibliography * an in-depth glossary * a thoroughly cross-referenced index. In addition to its popularity as a guide for reconnecting with our natural heritage, SACRED LAND currently serves as an important text for college courses in environmental ethics, indigenous spiritual traditions, & in natural aesthetics. SACRED LAND, SACRED SEX is now becoming popular as a resource for victims of incest & emotional/alcohol abuse.
