Medicine wheel for the planet : a journey toward personal and ecological healing / Dr. Jennifer Grenz.

Grenz, Jennifer, (author.).

Summary:

In 'Medicine Wheel for the Planet', building on sacred stories, field observations and personal experience, Dr. Jennifer Grenz invites readers to share in the teachings of the four directions of the medicine wheel: the North, which draws upon the knowledge and wisdom of elders; the East, where we let go of colonial narratives and see with fresh eyes; the South, where we apply new-old worldviews to envision a way forward; and the West, where a relational approach to land reconciliation is realized. Eloquent, inspiring, and disruptive, 'Medicine Wheel for the Planet' circles in on an argument that a multiplicity of worldviews are required to safeguard our Earth.
