Class: Nature and the Human Soul

 

Nature

In these very troubling times, Bill Plotkin offers a visionary map of the human life-cycle. This map integrates Nature's wisdom, rejects consumerism, and calls upon each person to seek out their deepest talents and passions as gifts to community. In the words of Richard Rohr: "His [Plotkin's] work offers a very specific and truth-filled plan for moving from what he calls an 'ego-centric' worldview to a 'soul-centric' worldview." (Rohr, Falling Upward, p. 43) Using indigenous peoples' tools like the cardinal directions and the cycles of nature, Plotkin draws an 8-stage wheel of development, integrating eastern and western wisdom traditions, and insights of psychology and myth.
