Through evidence from public health, sociology, anthropology, human ecology, and her experience as a family physician, Dr. Wendy Johnson will show you how:

- What you ingest and where you live can reinforce or upset your bodys delicate balance
- Eliminating one organism in an ecosystem can affect all the others
- Histories of trauma can be passed down for generations
- Rekindling our relationships to non-human life is essential to our well-being
- Being closer to death can release some of its power over us
- Actions of communities will be stronger and more lasting than any individual efforts
You will leave with a clear vision of what a new society might look like, methods to accomplish this transformation, and concrete examples of where it is being done successfully.
