Partnering with Nature is a simple book with a powerful message Author Catriona MacGregor illuminates the fact that our connection to nature, animals, and to the earth is a vital part of our existence.

Partnering With Nature weaves together historical, spiritual and scientific information and offers personal anecdotes and real stories of how nature has changed people’s lives as well as shaped the course of human evolution.

People struggle daily with stressful jobs, trapped in blank walls, staring at glowing screens when they should be outdoors, enjoying the beauty of nature and the connection with other living things. It is vital that we understand not only how important our role is in nature’s sphere, but also how crucial nature’s role is in our lives.

Partnering with Nature speaks to anyone who has a sense that something is missing in their life, and to anyone who wishes to make a difference in transforming our environment.

Catriona provides an answer to people who are yearning to find greater meaning and purpose, readers who may already be involved with green-living solutions, but want to find a total lifestyle change that means more than a once-a-week recycling plan. Catriona explains :

• > How our disconnection with nature is not only causing an environmental crisis but can lead to stress and depression in adults and obesity, attention deficit disorders, and apathy in children.
• > Why a connection with the Earth and with nature, in its many forms, is vital to human survival--we need to be active participants with nature, not just casual observers.
• > The history of many cultures’ relationships to the Earth, including and how humankind needs to deepen our connection to nature today.
• > How the energies that link humans, animals, and the natural world can actually be observed and studied--the point where spirituality and science intersect.
• > What the myriad benefits are of living in partnership with nature. For example, Nature offers us healing, wisdom, and an opportunity to connect with the sacred.

I have been deeply impressed by Catriona MacGregor for many years. Her striking kinship with the animal world and her vision of the natural world are compelling and apparent when you are in her presence. Many people carefully copy native traditions, hoping for a shamanic experience. Catriona MacGregor is a shaman. Catriona's book “Partnering with Nature” is a gentle yet somehow startling book, a work of unsuspected beauty, and generously far-ranging in its scope, considering how much it encompasses. It is written with the clarity of one who is consciously living in the web of life and empowered by a unique and enduring vision.

"From the first paragraph, this masterpiece of a book weaves a magical spell. Into that spell it mixes baby robins, alpha brain waves, shamanic journeys, celtic myths, and water bears into a glorious tapestry of wholeness. And then it weaves you, the reader, into that spell, showing how you can gain access to the spiritual unity behind it all. Catriona MacGregor's inviting prose lifts the veil between the material and spiritual worlds—and transports you to the heart of being found in nature. As you read these compelling stories, you will feel all your cells tingle with the recognition that you are made of the stuff of the universe, and find inspiration and renewal in the natural world around you, wherever you live. I recommend this book highly."

Catriona MacGregor’s poignant “Partnering With Nature” is a beautifully wrought synthesis of poetic spirituality and well-grounded practical fact. Catriona creates an intriguing tapestry of thoughts and images, weaving together history, geology, scientific research, and her own profound spiritual connection with the natural world. ..She speaks convincingly of Earth as teacher, habitat, and salvation, asserting that our connection with the natural environment provides both a portal to the divine and the tools that we will need to preserve our planet as a habitat for humankind. … She concludes by gathering together the many threads of wisdom offered up by her book and leads us gently but inexorably to her conclusion. We as a race will not thrive, evolve or even survive, unless we return to partnership with our earth. She urges us to reclaim the strength of our connection with nature on both a personal and a planetary level. “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 Catriona in her final paragraphs. You will also be a different person after you have read this book. The images of Catriona’s vision will flow through your mind and dance through your heart long after you have finished reading “Partnering With Nature”
