{"product_id":"drawing-closer-to-nature-peter-london-9781570628542","title":"Drawing Closer to Nature: Making Art in Dialogue with the Natural World","description":"Making art, says Peter London, is a perfect vehicle for recovering our lost sense of unity with Nature. When we draw closer to Nature through art, we simultaneously draw closer to our Selves, and thereby enjoy a richer, more authentic creativity and a deeper, fuller life. Through exercises, theoretical reflections, poetic meditations, and stories, London presents an innovative approach to creativity that engages body, mind, and spirit. A series of guided \"Encounters\"--some to be done outdoors, some indoors in the presence of some natural objects, and some entirely in the imagination--invites the reader to investigate Nature's secrets and then to celebrate through making a work of art. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTopics and exercises include: the essentials of creative practice, such as time, space, media, and intention; cultivating a simple, firsthand way of seeing Nature in all its subtlety, mystery, and intimacy; creating a personal sanctuary in which to communicate directly with Nature; conducting a sacred conversation with archetypal forms of Nature encountered in the imagination; seeking forgiveness from Nature, with the intention of healing our broken primal relationship with the natural world and rediscovering our rightful place in it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter London\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1570628548\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781570628542\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Shambhala\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/08\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.08lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.04h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2003 pg. 1724","brand":"Peter London","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43989317976319,"sku":"9781570628542","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_38bd4bd4-31f4-4895-a25f-a0079b9031ae.jpg?v=1683298827","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/drawing-closer-to-nature-peter-london-9781570628542","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
