Healing with Nature: Mindfulness and Somatic Practices to Heal from Trauma

Reconnect with your body and nature to heal from trauma.

According to psychologist and mindfulness expert Rochelle Calvert, one of the greatest sources of healing from trauma is all around us—nature.

In this powerful book, Calvert explores how to relate to and connect with nature through mindfulness. She integrates many nature-based principles and somatic practices, applying them in innovative ways to address pain, showing in particular how to ground oneself.

She shows how it’s possible to relax the nervous system and tune in to the somatic wisdom of the body, to face lingering grief and rewire it.

As a nature meditation teacher, the author offers reflections and activities that connect with a person’s true self, all while using nature as a grounding and connecting restorative force.

With the help of this book, you’ll be able to work with painful experiences to transform them in ways that heal you and contribute to healing the wider world.

Healing with Nature pioneers a path not just to recovery but to lifelong healing and resilience.
