Inspired by the beauty and cooperation that nature displays effortlessly, How to Heal the Planet from Wherever You Are, is a playbook on how to steward community during times of division and chaos. Diversity is a measure of wealth, if only we pay attention. This book is part-memoir, part-research and part-creative workbook as first-time author Cortina Jenelle Caldwell takes readers on a journey to appreciate nature’s teachings and use it as a springboard to learn principles of equity, leadership, belonging and creativity. By investigating our own journey, we can better understand the wisdom of those who came before us, all of which lay a foundation for what we most need - ancestral healing, collective liberation and creative entrepreneurship. If you’ve been looking for a book on climate change that addresses environmental beautification, social responsibility and cultural competence with a focus on the part you can play, this is the book for you. Written for the curious, this book is what it looks like to mend what ails our society with a heart-centered response. Healing the planet is about healing what is imbalanced - within us and around us.
