Photographs of a variety of trees, shrubs, medicinal herbs, and items reflecting comfort and solace, along with recipes for nature-based shampoos, tinctures, and smoothies round out the offering. Of particular interest are the instructions for building labyrinths as well as sacred ceremonies and rituals. VERDICT An enticing -invitation for communing with nature. © Copyright 2018.
