"With the flair and vivid language of a poet and the wisdom of an old soul, Sharifa Oppenheimer leads us into a deep appreciation of our relationship with self and with nature. Attuned to the spirit of the ancestors and awake to the mysteries of spirit in our time, Oppenheimer leads us on a careful examination of inner and outer nature in our own experience. This book is a trek through our inner life which we can take up if we are willing to make the effort to follow her lead. She is beckoning us to follow her into the wonder of discovery. This is a book for adults to renew the magic that children discover when their imagination is awakened in true education." -William HS Gebel. Astrophysicist, performing artist, psychotherapist and author, Gebel is the author of No God or Only God, Nature's Hidden Dimension, and Root Speaks to Bud

"Rewilding the Human Heart: A Journey of Reunion is an extraordinary guide that leads the reader into a deeply felt connection with Nature. Sharifa Oppenheimer masterfully blends scientific insights on brain development and neuroscience with humanity's elemental and evolutionary history, creating a beautiful fusion of knowledge and embodiment. Through her wisdom, the book becomes an experiential journey, inviting us to consciously engage with the seen and unseen aspects of life. Sharifa's ability to draw us into the primal forces of Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Ether makes this an essential read for anyone seeking a deeper, more intimate relationship with the world around us-and within us. This book is a true guide for reawakening our elemental nature and becoming better stewards of our shared Earth." -Elyshia Holliday. Executive Director of Organization of Nature Evolutionaries (ONE)

"In Rewilding the Human Heart Sharifa Oppenheimer combines lyrical storytelling, keen observation and what she calls 'technologies of relationship' in order to weave the elements and their tangible expressions into an exquisite fabric of interbeing - the place where we are all connected. We are given the opportunity to not only intellectually understand this connection but to participate in practices that explore and expand our conscious awareness of our kinship with Nature where we meet in common union. This blessing of a book is like a healing balm for the wounds of separation that modernity has imposed upon us, while helping to reawaken our truly natural selves." -Pam Montgomery. Teacher, international speaker, founding member of United Plant Savers, and author of Co-Creating with Nature and Plant Spirit Healing

"Thank you, Sharifa, for reminding us once again that we are, at our very core, beings of mystery and wonder. The very word rewilding awakens, stirs and moves us toward awareness of the outer landscape of the elements and ether beings and, at the same time, draws us into an inner landscape that opens up a soul-deepening so needed in our time. Read Rewilding the Human Heart from cover to cover! Each chapter includes spirit-filled tools, teaching us to, as Sharifa says 'live in joyous co-creation with all beings.'" -Cynthia Aldinger. Author of Life is the Curriculum and Home Away From Home. Founder of LifeWays North America

"'How do we learn to let go?' Oppenheimer asks early on. 'Slow down. Breathe. With each exhalation feel your heart soften. Melt and allow dissolution to become more permeable with each breath. Feel the breath swinging through your heart.' If the esoteric knowledge doesn't get you there, the soft, melodious prose just might do it." -Kirkus Reviews
