Drawing from a deep relationship with nature, the transformative power of story, and Sufi teachings, Emergence Magazine founder Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee guides us beyond today's ecological and cultural crises to the heart of the matter: our collective forgetfulness and the severing of our primordial bond with Earth. In this new book, he follows the entwined threads of grief and love to the seeds of transformation and regrowth within our moment of crisis. 

Remembering Earth blends reflection with practical guidance, exploring how remembrance, praise, and intimacy with Earth can restore our sacred relationship with the living world. Through a variety of practices in six key areas—Breath, Heart, Step, Listening, Time, and Prayer—this book guides you to an experience of radical belonging. Each practice is a doorway, inviting you from concept to communion, from observer to participant in the sacred web of life, offering an embodied spiritual ecology that moves beyond ideas into lived experience.

In a time of great unraveling, Remembering Earth offers an embodied, spiritual path of remembrance and kinship, guiding us back to the sacredness of creation and our place within the more-than-human world.

Praise:

“Remembering Earth is an exceptional book born of a remarkable life and mind. Reading it, I felt a sense of calm lucidity move over me: a clarity at what has happened to disconnect spirit from matter, and what might—must—be done to connect it again.” —Robert Macfarlane

“A cyclic meditation, always swerving back around, renewing and replenishing itself—a song for the breathing Earth.“ —David Abram

“At once a rousing call to action and a reassuring reminder that there is boundless nourishment and advice on how to enhance mutual flourishing if we remember how to listen to the Earth again.” —Sophie Strand

“In the face of a planetary crisis so vast and sweeping it dwarfs the biblical, Vaughan-Lee skillfully seeks to transform a potent grief for the Earth into the attentive Sufi practice of awakened love called ‘Remembrance.’”
—Susan Murphy Roshi

“An exigent cry for remembrance and affirmation of the sacred nature of Earth and our raveled relationship with Her.”
—Forrest Gander
