A powerful and poetic call to ecofeminism & environmental activism, this masterful work by internationally known author and speaker Jean Shinoda Bolen provides an insightful look into the fusion of ecological issues and global gender politics.

This book on the importance of trees grew out of Bolen’s experience mourning the loss of a Monterey pine that was cut down in her neighborhood. That, combined with her practice of walking among tall trees, led to her deep connection with trees and an understanding of their many complexities. From their anatomy and physiology, to trees as archetypal and sacred symbols, Bolen expertly explores the dynamics of ecological activism spiritual activism and sacred feminism. And, she invites us to join the movement to save trees.

Emergence Magazine is an online publication with an annual print edition.

It has always been a radical act to share stories during dark times. They are a regenerative space of creation and renewal. As we experience the desecration of our lands and waters, the extinguishing of species, and a loss of sacred connection to the earth, we look to emerging stories. In them we find the timeless connections between ecology, culture, and spirituality.

Emergence Magazine is an editorially independent initiative of Kalliopeia Foundation. We are located on the unceded ancestral lands of the Coast Miwok people of present-day Marin County.

The Kosmos mission is to inform, inspire and engage individual and collective participation for global transformation in harmony with all Life. We do this by sharing transformational thinking and policy initiatives, aesthetic beauty and wisdom, local to global.

The Shift, Great Turning, and New Story are words used to describe what many are experiencing as a growing ‘movement of movements’, an awareness worldwide of the need to examine and restructure political, economic, and social systems to align more closely with the needs of humanity and the Earth.

Our roots are at the United Nations, where a group of globally-conscious, spiritually-oriented people, including NGO staff and ambassadors whose perspectives were global rather than national, began meeting in the year 2000. This was the beginning of what eventually became Kosmos.

Since that time, a growing community of noted authors, local and global activists, world spiritual figures, economists and ecologists have been speaking urgently of a world in crisis and of a simultaneous awakening across many fields of endeavor to an elevated consciousness, no longer based on greed, competition, and scarcity, but one informed by fresh expressions of cooperation, ancestral wisdom, community-building, sharing, and innovation at all scales from local to global.

This unique and fundamentally liberating book shows us that examining our attitudes toward money—earning it, spending it, and giving it away—can offer surprising insight into our lives, our values, and the essence of prosperity.

Lynne Twist, a global activist and fundraiser, has raised more than $150 million for charitable causes. Through personal stories and practical advice, she demonstrates how we can replace feelings of scarcity, guilt, and burden with experiences of sufficiency, freedom, and purpose. In this Nautilus Award-winning book, Twist shares from her own life, a journey illuminated by remarkable encounters with the richest and poorest, from the famous (Mother Teresa and the Dalai Lama) to the anonymous but unforgettable heroes of everyday life.

With parents today worried that they are raising the I want generation, WHAT KIDS REALLY WANT THAT MONEY CAN'T BUY arrives at just the right moment. Betsy Taylor's advice ranges from simple, everyday things parents can do to more sophisticated approaches, such as teaching media literacy and financial skills to their children to fight this problem. Along the way, she enlists the voices and stories of parents and educators on the front line in this war against consumerism.

She also promotes the philosophy of how to have more fun with less stuff by returning to simple and meaningful rituals like dinner conversation and nature outings. Striving toward a life in which the hand, heart, and homemade is highly valued, this inspirational guide from Betsy Taylor offers a much needed helping hand.

An updated classic is reviewed by the next generation of readers

Your Money or Your Life is an immensely practical book. But its usefulness, and its continued popularity since its original 1992 release, surely exist largely because this practicality is rooted in a deep and discerning analysis of our society's current economic and cultural systems, and in careful observation of human behavior and character. Authors Vicki Robin, Joe Dominguez, and Monique Tilford wisely see personal growth not as a matter only of individual will, but as a matter of reconceptualizing the frameworks that shape how we perceive the world, both individually and collectively. Change thus comes from new understandings of the world we live in, and of how that world shapes us; new realizations about our own needs and wants, and new visions of how to fulfill those in transformative ways; and ultimately, in connecting our new understanding to habits and practices that can instill in us financial intelligence and help us to become financially independent.

One of the best examples of this is the way in which Robin and her coauthors help readers to reconceptualize the idea of 'work' and the notion that a job – especially the high-powered jobs that fit common, modern notions of success – is the best available method to provide for ourselves. They offer revealing exercises that help us to understand how much of our personal resources – both financial, emotional, physical, and others – go into maintaining our job, rather than into ourselves, our families, and the many other things which we value, and to see new ways in which we might meet our basic needs. These exercises and tools help readers to draw useful comparisons between financial and non-financial resources, empowering us to see new possibilities for action, and new solutions to old problems.

If you are a skeptic of self-help books (and the book's subtitle, “9 steps to transforming your relationship with money and achieving financial independence,” surely marks it as such), Your Money or Your Life is worth setting aside your preconceptions to experience what it has to offer. With humor and optimism, the authors have crafted a unique toolkit for helping all of us draw the connections between our personal lives and the larger financial crises happening around us, and for taking meaningful action in response. Now “updated for the 21st century,” it is an important book for the times in which we live.
