Overview

A Handbook for Survivalists is about the real nature of survival at this pivotal moment in our shared journey together with the Earth. Confronted by climate crisis and an increasingly divisive world, can we really \u201csurvive\u201d as human beings without reconnecting with the soul of nature, the living presence that has sustained us for millennia? Imagine what our world would be like without wildness and wonder, without the beauty and magic of the natural world, without a dawn chorus or a meadow of wildflowers. Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee guides the reader in a series of meditations on central themes such as destiny, chaos, death & rebirth, to help us to reawaken to life\u2019s sacred intelligence and thus participate creatively in this time of radical uncertainty. We can learn how to work with our spiritual light and recognize the values we need, the seeds for a future based upon an awareness of oneness and interdependence with the natural world and its other-than-human inhabitants. Reconnecting to our own earth wisdom and spiritual nature, we can find a place of true belonging in a land of magic and wonder.

Reviews

"Written while under wildfire evacuation, the great Sufi master, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, offers us a timely real-world primer on how the light we call Spirit is our greatest tool in rebuilding the world. This book is, at once, personal and universal and deeply insightful and immediately practical. To quote Llewellyn from a chapter on chaos, 'Generosity may be more valuable than stockpiling food, kindness to others more potent than force. These values will determine what world we create, what is born from the ruins.' I urge you to drink here. This book will quench and sustain and bring us closer together." —MARK NEPO, author of The Book of Soul and More Together Than Alone

"Llewellyn weaves my favorite combination of attributes into a singular whole. He is an eco-feminist and a Sufi mystic. He is on fire for sustainability and he is grounded in deep silence. And, oh my goodness, can he write! Every sentence of this book of meditations is luminous. I found myself washed in peace and filled with hope. Highly recommended for our tumultuous times." —MIRABAI STARR, translator of the Spanish Mystics and author of Wild Mercy and Caravan of No Despair

"A Handbook for Survivalists reminds us we are nature and not just connected to nature, and also of the healing power of love and light—we came here as beings of divine light to caretake all the beauty of this great Earth. This book will inspire all readers to radiate their inner light while being conscious gardeners while we are here and have been given the gift of life. Every word of this book is meaningful. Immerse yourself in the wisdom shared. You will feel deeply motivated to live a simple life." —SANDRA INGERMAN, M.A., award-winning author of 12 books including Walking in Light and The Book of Ceremony: Invoking the Sacred in Everyday Life
