Remembering Earth

Discover nature-based devotional practices for rekindling humanity’s ancient covenant with the living world—one rooted in reverence and love—and restoring our sacred bond with Earth.

Drawing from decades of Sufi teaching, a deep relationship with nature, and the transformative power of story, Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee guides us beyond today’s ecological and cultural crises to the heart of the matter: our collective forgetfulness and the severing of our primordial bond with Earth. Following the entwined threads of grief and love, he explains how this moment of crisis holds within it the seeds of transformation and regrowth.

Remembering Earth blends reflection with practical guidance, exploring how remembrance, prayer, praise, and intimacy with Earth can restore our sacred relationship with the living world. Through a variety of practices in six key areas—Breath, Heart, Step, Listening, Time, and Prayer—the book guides you to an experience of radical belonging. Each practice is a doorway, inviting you from concept to communion, from observer to participant in the sacred web of life, offering an embodied spiritual ecology that moves beyond ideas into lived experience.

In a time of great unraveling, Remembering Earth offers an embodied, spiritual path of remembrance and kinship, guiding us back to the sacredness of creation and our place within the more-than-human world.
