The movie blockbuster "Avatar" portrays a world where residents live on a beautiful planet called Pandora in harmony with nature. Yet, according to MacGregor, "We do not need to go to another planet to find this Eden-like existence. We can find it right here in our own backyards."
"Partnering with Nature," aptly being released one week before Earth Day, offers simple practices that people can do to reclaim their connection to nature. The book weaves together scientific, historical and spiritual information to support the critical link between humankind and the Earth. The book also offers natural cures for healing stress and a whole host of other modern day ailments including what MacGregor calls "Eco-anxiety."
On "Avatar's" blog site, moviegoers express their dismay at not being able to live on a planet like Pandora. Yet, according to "Partnering with Nature," experiencing wisdom, beauty and joy are possible in nature and this is one reason why so many people have mystical experiences in nature. "You are a different person if you are filled with the warm rays of the sun, the clarity of the blue sky, the soaring hawk," says MacGregor.
MacGregor has been a voice for animals and wild places all of her life, and runs Vision Quest & Nature Retreats (www.naturalpathfinder.com). "Partnering with Nature" can be ordered at Amazon.com. http://tinyurl.com/yh4pkam.
