[Gloria · Rating 5 out of 5]

Finisia Medrano is a living model of true reciprocity with the world, not as empty lip service, but as an embodied relationship. Her courageous heart, radical honesty, and earth-centered wisdom guide us away from ecocidal addictions toward the noble dance of permaculture that redeems the harmful legacy of industrial civilization. In a world of denial and despair, Finisia offers hope that the root of the tree of life is still alive by determinedly placing her footsteps on a path that would otherwise be regarded as extinct. This book is a gift to anyone who is sincerely wanting to heal our cultural ills and restore an intimate symbiosis with our beloved land.
