Earth is in the midst of a shuddering, a crisis. Since all of us are a part of Earth, we are part of that upheaval. We feel it personally and collectively. In this groundbreaking book, Will Taegel, Ph.D., takes us to the confluence of modern science and ancient wisdom as resources for walking across the bridge from where we are to where we are going. In this exciting page-turner, he takes us to the bridge and walks us across, individually and as a community, through a shamanic storytelling filled with information. It is a story about transcending our wounds. It is a story about skills you can learn to cross over into a new dimension of living. It is a story about two flawed persons who find each other, enter conflict, and emerge as cherished relatives. It is your story. The bears we walk with rumble across our interiors. The bears we walk with are the tumult of climate change, nuclear threat, traumatic distress, political chaos, and prophetic hope. That hope resides in a profound sense of love through intimacy within the flow of Nature and each other.
