Awakening Artemis

Awakening Artemis

Deepening Intimacy with the Living Earth and Reclaiming Our Wild Nature

Summary

We all come from different cultures and practice different spiritual traditions, but we have one thing in common: we are all of the earth. Vanessa Chakour, founder of the rewilding programme Sacred Warrior, takes us on a journey to deepen our relationship with ourselves and the environment. Awakening Artemis is her love letter to the earth.

Sharing her personal journey of rewilding, her stories act as tools, both practical and inspirational, to encourage growth, healing and reconnection to the regenerative power of the natural world. Vanessa will help you embrace the strength and beauty in the wild, the weeds, and the unsavoury parts of yourself in order to grow and heal. By allowing yourself and the earth to flourish and awakening your inner Artemis, Chakour promises that you will find joy, peace, compassion for yourself, others, and the planet.

Reviews

  • 'There is a sweetness and very real intimacy in Vanessa Chakour's stories of her relations with plants that is rare to find; there is a humbleness as well, which is even rarer. I loved Awakening Artemis; I think you will too'
    Stephen Harrod Buhner, award-winning author of The Lost Language of Plants
