Spiritual Ecology

More about the book

This groundbreaking book fosters the emergence of the "Spiritual Ecology Movement," emphasizing the need for a spiritual response to our ecological crisis. It unites voices from Buddhism, Sufism, Christianity, Native American traditions, physics, deep psychology, and environmental disciplines, urging a reassessment of our attitudes and beliefs about the Earth. This shift is essential for restoring balance to our world as a living whole. The first edition sold 16,000 copies and received an overwhelmingly positive response, with many readers asking, "What can I do?" The expanded second edition includes new chapters from younger authors actively applying spiritual ecology principles, alongside a new preface and a revised chapter by Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee. These updates reference significant events such as Pope Francis's encyclical, which framed the ecological crisis as a spiritual issue, and the 2015 Paris Climate Change Conference, where nearly 200 countries, including faith leaders, addressed global warming. The book resonates with diverse traditions, united by a shared love for the Earth and the acknowledgment of Her urgent cry for help.
