SANTA FE, N.M. , June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In Nature, Culture and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership, 2nd Edition, social entrepreneur, author, and Bioneers cofounder and Chief Relationship Officer Nina Simons offers inspiration for anyone who aspires to grow into their own unique form of leadership. In today's complex world rocked by violence, a climate crisis, COVID, women leaving the workforce in droves, the Great Resignation, and employers hard-pressed to fill posts, Nature, Culture and the Sacred envisions an alternative work and leadership model, one that might foment positive change, resilience, even joy, according to Simons.
World-renowned feminist and Ms. Magazine cofounder Gloria Steinem wrote of Simons' book, "The world seems to be divided into two kinds of people—those who divide everything into two, and those who don't. Reading Nature, Culture and the Sacred is a step toward melting this false division into 'feminine' and 'masculine,' and allowing each of us to become fully human again and at last." The first edition of the book won the 2018 Nautilus Gold Award (Women category) and the 2018 Nautilus Silver Award (Social Change & Social Justice category).
Informed by a plethora of multicultural and Indigenous wisdom keepers who are leading ways towards a regenerative future, this guide takes readers on an inspirational journey that's both visionary and practical. It speaks to shedding self-limiting beliefs, leading from the heart, and discovering beloved communities as they cultivate their own flourishing and liberation.
Weaving her own insights together with reflections from cutting-edge leaders such as Terry Tempest Williams, Jeannette Armstrong, Alixa Garcia, and V (formerly Eve Ensler), Simons opens thought-provoking pathways for reflection and growth. The dynamic discussion guides for each chapter offer prompts for engaging with implicit gender biases, anti-racism, and intersectionality, along with interactive practices for individuals and groups to deepen understanding and learning.
In this essential handbook for navigating these perilous times with clarity and joy, Simons invites us to remember and reclaim our sacred relationship to the Earth by rebalancing ourselves and our societies.
The book is available in paperback, audiobook, and Kindle.
