Descent is an intimate look at grief and its expression through the rhythms of the natural world. The autumnal forest, stripped bare but for its carpet of dirt and rotting leaves, reflects the inevitability of death and loss and the distant promise of spring’s rebirth. Tuning into the forest’s flow reminds us that we are simply another form of nature’s expression, and embracing her generosity, her fecundity, her presence, feeds our own inward journey.
Descent explores the power of this journey with nature through her unhurried capacity for transformation and healing. It looks at how embracing the full catastrophe of the present moment can give rise to new and unforeseen perspectives––the breathtaking truth of nonduality, the possibility of nonhuman perspectives, and the discovery of realities beyond those dictated by our mind’s long-established habits and patterns.
