“Tree on the in breath to human on the out breath, we are one, the breath of the earth.” —Joan Sutherland, nurse clinician and expressive arts therapist.
For the Trees invites readers into the next great paradigm shift: recognizing the intelligence, sensitivity and presence of the plant kingdom, just as we have recognized the sentience of animals.
This groundbreaking anthology opens a doorway into the hidden world of trees—beings that communicate, collaborate and sustain life in ways we are only beginning to comprehend.
Featuring insights from Jane Goodall alongside 35 visionary contributors from around the world, this collection weaves together lived experience, art, and science. The voices include artists, musicians, an instrument maker, a landscape architect, forest therapy guides, authors, an organic fruit-tree master grower, a cloner of ancient champion trees, teachers and healers, each offering unique perspectives shaped by decades of deep connection with trees.
Readers are invited not only to witness these relationships, but to cultivate their own, learning new ways to listen, respond to and co-create with the natural world. In doing so, they may rediscover a sense of aliveness, harmony and belonging with Nature.
For the Trees is more than a book; it is a call to renew our bond with the natural world and to take part in restoring balance and wholeness on Earth.
