Sacred Nature Book Group

The Sacred Nature Book Group invites you to explore new ideas, connect with community, and deepen your understanding of nature and the sacred. Together, we’ll read books, articles, essays, and poems that support our exploration of human kinship with all Life.

Each group combines curated readings, open exploration, and space to reflect. Depending on the topic, we may provide reading guides or other supplemental materials.

❋ Intentional Structure

Connection is central to any book group. Come ready to share your thoughts and feelings about the content with others who share your passion for learning.

❋ Collaborative Energy

Each meeting will be facilitated to encourage discovery, conversation, and connection among members, with the content driving the discussion.

❋ Expert Facilitation
❋ A Soulful Space

Our main focus is to inspire awe, wonder, and imagination by deepening our understanding of, and connection to nature.

Discover writings from academics, farmers, poets, imagineers, thought leaders, storytellers, mythologists, cultural edge-walkers, wanderers, and mystics who challenge us to explore connections between our inner and outer landscapes.

Step into realms of novelty and wonder as you learn about cutting edge research into the consciousness of plants and animals, discover new pathways for a soulful life, or ways to reimagine your relationship to place, food, and community.

Reawaken your sense of awe and wonder


“I know that nothing has ever been real without my beholding it.

All becoming has needed me.

My looking ripens things

and they come toward me, to meet and be met.”

— Rainier Maria Rilke
