A Positive Relationship with Nature
Thomas and his company HOPS press are working to change people’s relationship with nature for the positive. In our modern day in-door culture, with manicured lawns, miles of city blocks and infrastructure have been drawn farther and farther away from the symbiosis between man and nature. Thomas’ insightful approach to books and video is focused on strengthening that connection once again to develop a much better appreciation for our Planet’s natural environments.
Those of us in the field of environmental education preach a different message, telling people that “all life is interconnected” and “we really are part of nature.” But in the next breath we tell them to stay on the trails and to practice “no-trace” camping. We tell them to look at nature and photograph it, but not to touch it. We tell them our modern way of life is destroying nature, and that we need to stop mucking up the planet. We tell them we are part of nature–the bad part!
Thomas and his team write many good books on primitive living skills, worldviews, enriching the human spirit and natural home design. Here’s a link to his latest catalog of books and DVDs. Check out HOPS press today and start fine tuning your spirit’s connection with nature!
