Overview: Humankind has the capacity and know-how to create Earth-honoring cultures in a new way for new times. By tapping into ancestral memories, taking what’s best from the human potential movement, and collaborating with present-day indigenous peoples, we can find our way home.

Practicing the key ingredients of a lasting culture is an ecstatic way to live. This book shows you how.

Verdict: Having founded Sacred Earth Network (SEN), a visionary not-for-profit environmental advocacy group, author Bill Pfeiffer (aka Sky Otter) has always followed his own heart, his own self-induced directionality when it came to his always-on-point Earth-honoring culture.

Indeed, his innate dedication and all-embracing passion to heal our alienation from the natural world around us led him to write Wild Earth, Wild Soul, which is itself an invitation to remember our essential self and reclaim the wisdom that springs from our innate earthliness.

It has been more than 10 years since the first edition of this book presented readers with a novel idea: Why don’t we modern humans practice the successful cultural skills of our indigenous ancestors?

In so doing, we can experience a busting out - even for only ten days during a Wild Earth Intensive or similar - of the restrictive confines of economic necessity, the jarring speed of Internet, and actual highways, and the malaise born of an ancillary sense of separation from other human and the natural world.

Thus this second edition continues to tap into the teachings of our ancient ancestors and traditions that kept them aligned with the Earth, showing us that together we also can reconnect with the Earth and begin to share in the joy and expansiveness of life. That together we can co-create a culture that honors, protects and restores the vibrancy and health of ourselves and our Earth.

Is there truly the potential to once again hear the Earth’s heartbeat, to feel in our bones the sublime wisdom Nature offers so freely and generously? Well, reading this book will most assuredly open your eyes and ears to dutifully cultivated steps laid out to forward advancement of our lives and of our children’s lives.

And closing on words spoken by Sky Otter himself, “Wild Earth, Wild Soul is an offering plate to the ancestors, human and non-human. We do stand on their shoulders and from truly knowing that powerful vantage point, can see vistas of unparalleled, creative possibility.”
