A book of natural wonders, practical guidance and life-changing
empowerment. 'To live an enchanted life is to pick up the pieces of
our bruised and battered psyches, and to offer them the nourishment they
long for. It is to be challenged, to be awakened, to be gripped and
shaken to the core by the extraordinary which lies at the heart of the
ordinary.
Above all, to live an enchanted life is to fall in
love with the world all over again.'The enchanted life has nothing to do
with fantasy or escapism or magical thinking: it is founded on a vivid
sense of belongingness to a rich and many-layered world. It is creative,
intuitive, imaginative. It thrives on work that has heart and meaning.
It loves wild things, but returns to an enchanted home and garden. It
respects the instinctive knowledge and playfulness of children, and
relishes story, poetry and art. Taking the inspiration and wisdom that
can be derived from myth, fairy tales and folk culture, this book
offers a set of practical and grounded tools for enchanting our lives
and the places we live in, giving us a greater sense of meaning and of
belonging to the world.
An inspiring, beautifully written call
to re-engage with the world - giving us the tools for profound and
whole-hearted participation in the adventure of life. 'I believe that
enchantment is an attitude of mind which can be cultivated, a way of
approaching the world which anyone can learn to adopt: the enchanted
life is possible for everybody.'
