Tamed By A Bear: Coming Home to Nature-Spirit-Self

An openhearted, playful account of learning to listen to the wisdom of interconnection.
-Elizabeth Enslin, author of While the Gods Were Sleeping: A Journey Through Love and Rebellion in Nepal

In an age of materialism, language of spirit or spirits seems at best suspect and at worst alien or naive. When Priscilla Stuckey begins hearing Bear’s voice, she is a writer and religious studies professor in her fifties. Though she enjoys communing with trees and birds and the land, she intellectually knows better than to try talking directly with spirit. Tamed by a Bear shows one person responding to the call of her heart, which is also the call of Earth to all human beings today: to listen to a more-than-human wisdom so people can address the social and environmental crises facing the world.
