*Earth, Our Original Monastery: Cultivating Wonder & Gratitude through Intimacy with Nature*
Isn’t the cover below beautiful? ? ?

Coming Spring 2020 from Abbey of the Arts:
*Earth, Our Original Monastery: Singing Our Way to the Sacred*
(An album of 14 songs to help celebrate and deepen your intimacy with the more-than-human-world + a DVD of dance and movement prayers to accompany the songs)

Coming Fall 2020 from Paraclete Press:
*The Wisdom of Wild Grace: Poems*
(my second collection of poems with a whole series inspired by the marvelous stories of intimacy between saints and animals)
