DIANE ACKERMAN: The Healing Power of Nature

“The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you. Don’t go back to sleep!” – Rumi

Diane Ackerman is the deservedly bestselling author of A Natural History of the Senses, The Zookeeper’s Daughter (a uniquely thrilling Holocaust story), The Moon by Whale Light, A Slender Thread, A Natural History of Love, and other excellent books. Her work frequently appears in The New Yorker and The New York Times. She is among our most eloquent literary naturalists, as well as being a great storyteller and poet.

In Dawn Light, she fully reawakens us to how profoundly we are not only in nature, but are nature. Joining science’s devotion to detail with a spiritual appreciation of the sublime, she provides us with an impassioned celebration of the possibilities of human consciousness during these, our numbered days on this turning earth. She gathers a convincing fresh joy in living. This evening she will be offering a unique talk on “The Healing Power of Nature.”
