Heartwood: Remembering Our Kinship with the Earth Through the Healing Wisdom of Trees

An eco-doula invites us to enter a deep relationship with nature, especially trees, to unlock the keys to embodied joy and holistic health.

Amid the intersecting chronic health and climate crises, there’s an unexpected teacher who can help. Taking the form of friend, the trees are speaking, calling us to remember our connection to everything. Their invitation whispers, asking: What if your healing and my own are connected? Thankfully, we can learn to hear them. Are you ready to listen?

Go on a healing journey from stranger to kin with the trees. Here, eco-doula and environmental psychologist Lindsay Branham explores the vital truth that an embodied, sacred relationship with the Earth is the medicine we all need. “The Earth is always waiting for us to remember,” Branham teaches. With expansive tenderness, she weaves stories of the landscape, tales from the underworld of her own chronic illness, and groundbreaking insights from her scientific research on body awareness, to share her communion with our more-than-human family.

Presented as a lyrical constellation of story, ecological wisdom, scientific discovery, and spiritual insight, Branham invites us to shed the delusion of separation from our bodies and nature, experience an intimate relationship with trees, and find out what gifts are ours to offer the Earth in return. With the soulful and rousing cry of a planet in peril, Heartwood offers support for finding your center of gravity amid a world in free fall, meeting you exactly where you need it most.
