Description: From the author of The Oak Papers comes a beautiful meditation on how to foster a profound and healing spiritual communion with the natural world exploring how the sacred can be accessed by looking to the past to our ancestors and how they tread through their worlds. Canton's writing has an exquisite somewhat dreamlike quality. Peter Wohlleben author of The Hidden Life of Trees When James Canton walked into Suffolk's Lindsey Chapel it was the beginning of what would become a new journey in his life hours away from the bustling city of London and distant from the years in his early twenties when he traveled from Egypt to Argentina. Standing inside the quaint chapel Canton realized that his past cosmopolitan desires had been replaced by an intense yearning to understand the history of the place he called home a burning curiosity about the past and the spiritual ways and beliefs of the people who came before us. In Grounded Canton retraces his steps into the places where our ancestors have experienced profound emotion otherwise known as numinous experiences to help us better understand who we are. Through lyrical meditation reflection and a thoughtful consideration of the ways and beliefs of the people who came before us Canton seeks to know what our ancestors considered to be human and what lessons we can learn from them to find security in our contemporary selves. Steeped in literary and folklore references Grounded is a powerful exploration of the power of nature to soothe nourish and inspire the human soul.
