When international opera tenor and forester Vincent Karche lost his voice, he was instructed by a shamanic healer that to regain it, he would have to find himself again first. Thus began a journey into the heart of the forest.

In this book, Vincent mirrors the cyclical nature of the seasons to help us reconnect to our natural rhythm, find inner peace and activate physical and emotional healing. Just as a tree anchors its roots into the earth to weather storms, so too can we learn to cultivate resilience; to find instant relief from stress, we need only breathe slowly in and out as a tree would; and we can forge stronger relationships by encouraging symbiotic links with all beings, giving and taking only what we need.

In this poetic exploration of the unbreakable bond between nature and human, Vincent reminds us that we are both the forest and the tree- each unique in our being and yet part of a Divine natural creation.
