....... An Emerald Earth
.............................. .Cultivating a Natural Spirituality
..........................and Serving Creative Beauty in the World

The word “mysticism” often brings to mind suspicions of an obscure hobby having little or nothing to do with real life. What the reader of An Emerald Earth will discover, however, is exactly the reverse: a mystical orientation that is accessible, relevant, and eminently natural.

—Pir Zia Inayat Khan, Spiritual Leader of the Sufi Order International

"With the environmental crisis finally recognized throughout the world, is it too late? No! An Emerald Earth celebrates Sufi wisdom that, since its very beginning, has held the sacred green earth at its center. Today this wisdom guides us toward restoring ourselves and our relationship with the natural environment."

—The Very Reverend James Parks Morton, pioneer in sacred ecology, Founder of the Interfaith Center of New York

"An Emerald Earth awakens the memory of the Ancient Call. A messenger reminding us to return Home. The authors offer a gentle invitation, a practical guide, like the Crow’s earthy caw, moving us deeper, yet again, into Oneness. Our clear vision is restored and our recognition of that primordial knowing that there is no separation…our true nature and Nature are indeed a Sacred Union."

—Roberta Mary Pughe, psychotherapist and author of “Resurrecting Eve: Women of Faith Challenge the Fundamentalist Agenda”

"This book is filled with much gentle wisdom and its message is one of peace and service. I hope that the authors’ call for a life devoted to doing what is beautiful will find its way into many hearts."

—Tom Cheetham, author of “The World Turned Inside Out,” “Green Man, Earth Angel” and “After Prophecy: Imagination, Incarnation and the Unity of the Prophetic Tradition”

"An Emerald Earth is an open invitation to those who are longing to rediscover the primordial harmony of the human soul and the natural world, both mirrors of each other and helpers to each other, both woven from the same cloth by the same Weaver. This wonderful book is constructed as an actual spiritual travel, using the stepping stones of meditation practices which guide the reader to experience how contemplation of the creation reveals human reality, and conversely how awakened humanity protects and elevates the creation to its own divine potential.

"

—Shaykha Fariha Fatima al-Jerrahi, Spiritual Guide of the Nur Ashki Jerrahi Sufi Order

Emerald Earth Retreats & Workshops

(listed on the right) affirm the true goal of the spiritual path: a natural and spontaneous freshness, a broad vision and the upholding of the beauty, sacredness of all life. These events, open to all, employ classical Sufi meditation methods to balance and purify our beings and to uncover and live more deeply from our essence. Using practices of breath, light, sound and creative imagination, we will affirm the sowing of the divine seeds of love, harmony and beauty in life.
