The Spirit of the Earth: A creative Journey into the Soul of Mother Nature

By Vernon Hutter

The Spirit of the Earth

A creative journey into the soul of mother nature.

Humanity is ‘part-of’ and not ‘apart from’ Nature and the Earth. We rely on her for everything that we stand for, which is why it’s so important to look after her.

This book is a restorative journey, expressed in photographs and creative words. It conveys the process of regaining our true nature by reconnecting with Mother Nature.

There are four processes, in which I have travelled the journey from the beginning, and which can be a guide for others to emulate…

Reflection, Reconnection, Strength and Growth, and, finally, Change and Transition.

The Creative Spirit is the bridge to becoming connected to the Spirit of the Earth once more.

And when we have reconnected to Mother Nature, then we are able to heal our inner nature and fulfil our true purpose.
