Our Newest Release! 
Love Poems from the Earth offers us a different kind of love story—one that is wider, wilder, and ultimately more fulfilling than a stereotypical Hollywood romance. Through evocative poems and simple practices, it reminds us that all beings are potential friends, teachers, and beloveds, and we are never truly alone.
It also reveals how coming home to a deeper kinship with nature is key to finding a sense of belonging and to restoring balance in our lives and in the world.
Kai Siedenburg’s poems transport us into intimate and wondrous encounters with nature: the unbridled joy of birds on the wing, the rooted wisdom of a redwood, the sensual splendors of a cool stream on a hot day.
The practices make cultivating a deep and healing connection with nature easy and enjoyable, and help us find simple ways to connect with the Earth wherever we are. Twelve exquisite illustrations add visual beauty.
Love Poems from the Earth shows us what is possible when we approach the natural world with a keen eye, an open mind, and a loving heart.
