How to Heal the Planet from Wherever You Are: Leaning into the Cosmic + Planetary Link Between Ancestral Healing, Collective Liberation + Creative Entrepreneurship
Inspired by the beauty and cooperation that nature displays effortlessly, How to Heal the Planet from Wherever You Are, is a playbook on how to steward community during times of division and chaos. Diversity is a measure of wealth, if only we pay attention. This book is part-memoir, part-research and part-creative workbook as first-time author Cortina Jenelle Caldwell takes readers on a journey to appreciate nature’s teachings and use it as a springboard to learn principles of equity, leadership, belonging and creativity. By investigating our own journey, we can better understand the wisdom of those who came before us, all of which lay a foundation for what we most need – ancestral healing, collective liberation and creative entrepreneurship. If you’ve been looking for a book on climate change that addresses environmental beautification, social responsibility and cultural competence with a focus on the part you can play, this is the book for you. Written for the curious, this book is what it looks like to mend what ails our society with a heart-centered response. Healing the planet is about healing what is imbalanced – within us and around us.
100% of proceeds from book sales benefit work on environmental beautification, waste reduction and climate justice, what we call Earth service, which includes waste reduction, litter cleanup, the protection of waterways, preservation of sacred land sites through the organization of an international network of partners + volunteers. We stand in solidarity with these stewards by sharing strategies, time and resources:
– love letter to all that we thought we lost –
You Can Heal the Planet from Wherever You Are
On the journey of seeking my purpose, I came to learn about the stories, traditions, cultures and spiritual practices of my ancestors – the indigenous keepers of Mother Earth and the enslaved Afrakans shipped around the world against their will. Although treated as property, these were human luminaries sharing their wisdom and gifts as farmers, engineers, medicine people, herbalists, scientists, spiritual advisors, entrepreneurs to name a few. They shaped the world we live in today, astounding us with their advanced spiritual technologies and universal understandings. They learned Mother Nature’s ways, mimicking divine design as they co-created with God and they sought balance in every aspect of their life. They left a sacred blueprint that is now more important than ever. We can shape a new normal – each with our own special sauce – and the universe will rise to support us. Whether you consider yourself to be a spiritual sojourner or curious student – may you find belonging here as we build a life of our wildest imagination + restore sacred connection, individual to planetary.
in solidarity + service, cortina
