"This is a soulful work that speaks to all of us concerning the
greatest threat to life on Earth. With care and acuity, Sally
Gillespie brings us close to this issue and presents heart centered
approaches to not only hold our grief, but to work towards
re-imagining new, creative ways to be with Earth." - Jeffrey T.
Kiehl, climate scientist, Jungian analyst and author of Facing
Climate Change: An Integrated Path to the Future"As the climate
changes, we must also change our thinking. With not just brilliance
but also profound insight and compassion, Dr Sally Gillespie shows
us how. We will save our world only when we better understand the
depth of our responses to it. No book could be more timely." -
Stephanie Dowrick, PhD, author of Seeking the Sacred: Transforming
Our View of Ourselves and One Another"This lovely book asks how we
can live well in a world ravaged by climate disruption and then
guides us empathically and sensitively through the process. Sally
Gillespie shows us how to live with our confusion, draw on our
dreams, speak our pain and join with others on a journey whose
outcome is uncertain but whose necessity has never felt more
urgent. Imbued with a deep respect for the natural world and filled
with inspiring examples - check out the Knitting Nannas! - Sally
Gillespie offers myths and tells stories that both comfort and
inspire. She has lived the painful journey that so many people need
to take, and she meets our fears and vulnerabilities with
compassion and resolution. Whether you are trembling on the edge of
climate awareness or burnt out from years of struggle, this wise
book will help you find your place in the growing climate movement
and its new consciousness. Read it - it will give you courage and
help you step out."- Rosemary Randall, co-founder of Carbon
Conversations Project, www.carbonconversations.co.uk "Climate
Crisis and Consciousness covers such a range of vital issues in
such a lively and personal style I am sure it will quickly become a
‘must read’ for these climate troubled times. I found myself
feeling envious of Sally Gillespie’s ability to draw on such a
variety of literatures to find the psychological resources we will
all need to negotiate the difficult transition ahead. In her hands,
that phrase ‘every crisis is an opportunity’ no longer became a
bland piece of Blairite rhetoric but a convincing call to each one
of us to be the transformation that this warming earth requires." -
