Through a mixture of original stories and traditional tales, Adventures in Nature offers an abundance of ways for families to connect with the earth. As our ancestors did before us, the book follows the seasons contained in the ‘Wheel Of The Year’, with each entry focusing on a story that brings us closer to the natural world, accompanied by simple craft projects, activities and mindful moments.

Ways to connect with The Sun through story, folklore and journal extracts, inspiring a deeper connection with the earth For millennia we have looked to the Sun for our survival. In our attempts to increase the productivity of each hour of light, we have skewed our days and stretched them through the use of candles, electricity, LED bulbs, and further subjected ourselves to unnatural light through screens and electronic devices. We have lost our respect for the Sun. Instinctually we know that natural light is vital to our physical and mental health. It sustains us and without we would not survive and yet we ignore this, with most of our lives geared towards a manufactured environment. Stories of the Sun offers reconnection with this primal life force through folklore, exploration of ancient cultures, myths, legends and tales of our past. By understanding the power of our ancient star through the wisdom of our ancestors, we can hope to unplug ourselves from the synthetic glow that surrounds our lives.

Sometimes it becomes imperative for our survival to find new ways to perceive and interpret life’s challenges, to let go of old or habitual patterns in order to make informed decisions and conscious commitments in the present. There is no right or wrong answer. Each of us must navigate her or his own way through the formidable waters of something as alarming as a cancer diagnosis, whether that diagnosis is our own or has become the plight of someone we love. We have the power to choose our own response in any situation. The choices we make may not be the popular choices or the most agreed upon choices, but they must be the choices that are authentic for us. They must be the choices that empower rather than subdue us, and they must be choices for which we are willing to take responsibility. 
Perhaps we should not be so much concerned with the length of our life as with its quality. The worst diagnosis of all could be an unlived life. The important query is not how long my lifetime will be in years or what I will die of. The significant questions are: 
Am I still growing? • Am I learning? • Am I loving well? • Am I helping others? • Am I making healthy, conscious choices? • Am I contributing in some way to making the world a safer, saner place for all of us? • Am I awake? • Am I present? • Am I saying yes to life now? 
This book will speak to any open minded reader who has cancer, fears getting cancer or who loves someone who has cancer. Beyond that, it will speak to anyone who seeks to live in harmony with the way things actually are rather than in habitual resistance to the way things appear to be. You make friends with cancer not by hating it or fighting with it but by acknowledging it as a teacher, accepting what it has to teach you, and continuing on your Journey, one step at a time.
