March 1st – March 31st

The Way of Gaia is a collection of paintings and prose that speaks to humanity’s relationship to the planet through the lenses of ecology, evolution, and the environment. The book calls out for a narrative that realigns the reader’s sense of self and species identity to that of being part of the biosphere, a vast network of life linked together by relationships of shared ancestry, beauty, and interdependence. The authors hope these offerings will contribute to replacing the destructive narratives of modern society with frames that encourage humanity to honor and restore life, as well as contribute to the flourishing of all life without end.
