Many books have guided my perspective – and vision for the future.\u00a0 Here are three of my favorites that touch upon perspectives on how our society can live in healthy relationship with each other and the natural world.<\/p>\n

\n<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Ecological Design
\n<\/span><\/a>by Sim Van der Ry<\/span><\/p>\n

This was the first book I read on designing within natures principles.\u00a0 A new regenerative field of design has emerged since, echoing and evolving what ideas were presented here.<\/p>\n

The vision presented in this book is how the living world and the human world can be rejoined by taking ecology as the basis for design. Ecological design intelligence — effective adaptation to and integration with nature’s processes — can be applied at all levels of scale, creating revolutionary forms of buildings, landscapes, cities, and technologies.<\/p>\n

This book puts things into perspective for people who want to work on the most impactful ways to reverse Climate Change.\u00a0 It lists in order the most important contributing factors to Climate change and then offers solutions.\u00a0 The solutions are constantly being updated and curated online and are accessible by everyone.\u00a0 It is a labor of love by hundreds of scientists and change makers.\u00a0 The book is a beautiful introduction to each of the solutions and is very surprising in its findings sometimes.<\/p>\n

Mutant Message Down Under: A Woman’s Journey into Dreamtime Australia
\n<\/a>by Marlo Morgan<\/p>\n

\n

Indigenous wisdom is all around is if we are open to it.\u00a0 This book accounts the perspective of \u2018the real people\u2019 as this group of Australian aboriginals called themselves.\u00a0\u00a0 It was one of the key books that created my personal spiritual perspective.<\/p>\n

It chronicles a woman, summoned by a remote tribe of nomadic Aborigines to accompany them on walkabout, the woman makes a four-month-long journey and learns how they thrive in natural harmony with the plants and animals that exist in the rugged lands of Australia’s bush. From the first day of her adventure, Morgan faces daily tests of her endurance, challenges that ultimately contribute to her personal transformation.\u00a0 By traveling with this extraordinary community, Morgan becomes a witness to their essential way of being in a world based on the ancient wisdom and philosophy of a culture that is more than 50,000 years old.<\/p>\n

Sacred Economics: Money, Gift, and Society in the Age of Transition\u00a0<\/span><\/a>
\n<\/span>by Charles Eisenstein<\/p>\n

What are you?\u00a0 What does it mean to be human? \u2014 How does this relate to our economy?<\/p>\n

These questions, that Sacred Economics explores in a beautiful way lay out \u2018the story of self\u2019.\u00a0 It outlines how the history of money from ancient gift economies to modern capitalism, how scarcity is built into the current money system, and often can destroy community and necessitate endless growth.\u00a0 Most importantly Eisenstein overviews how we may find great opportunity to transition to a more connected, ecological, and sustainable way of being – a new \u2018story of the people\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text]
