Summary

"Many of us feel trapped in a grind of constant change: rolling news cycles, the chatter of social media, our families split along partisan lines. We feel fearful and tired, on edge in our bodies, not quite knowing what has us perpetually depleted. For Katherine May, this low hum of fatigue and anxiety made her wonder what she was missing. In Enchantment, May invites the reader to come with her on a journey to reawaken our innate sense of wonder and awe. Craving a different way to live, she begins to explore the restorative properties of the natural world, moving through the elements and identifying the traces of magic that can be found only when we look for them. Through attention and ritual, she unearths the potency and nourishment that come from reconnection with our immediate environment. Blending lyricism and storytelling, sensitivity and empathy, Enchantment invites each of us to open the door to human experience in all its complexity, and to find the beauty waiting for us there"--, Provided by publisher
