Wisdom of Place

Author: Ellizabeth Boults
This book aims to help readers rediscover the sacredness of the everyday landscapes around to shed light on the ecological imperatives of our time. Drawn from the union of art, nature, and metaphysics, it presents some of the myths and legends of antiquity as they might be recognised by contemporary earth-shapers. Through word and image the authors reference the ecological and environmental concepts found at the core of traditional knowledge and provide a new context for environmental engagement that merges the spiritual and phenomenological with the scientific and empirical. ‘Wisdom of Place’ can be used by anyone—from creatives to spiritual seekers, landscape architects to coders—to call forth the voice of the genius loci—the spirit of place—and reveal the creative forces and hidden currents of nature.
