From the origins of the universe, through the emergence of life on earth, with a dive into the science of atoms, cells, soils, souls and ecosystems…. Caffyn Jesse finds radically new ways to understand the world by weaving science with sacred intimacy. With poetry, passion and precision, this book calls each and all of us home. There are practical exercises and personal stories about making embodied love, so we can live and die with evermore integrity, intimacy and ecstasy.
