Nature as Spiritual Practice
“In Nature as Spiritual Practice Steven Chase invites us to seek God in nature’s own liturgy, to mourn with nature within the earth’s dark night, and to be transformed by a deepened attention to the world all around. Step outside, Chase tells us. Our desire for God is a desire we share with the earth itself.”— Stephanie PaulsellHarvard Divinity Schoolauthor of Honoring the Body: Meditations on a Christian Practice“A wonderful mix of insights from classical spiritual teachers and nature writers, woven into a series of contemplative and active practices that echo the work of Joanna Macy and Bill Plotkin.
