Humani Trees by Joan Klostermann-Ketels

Written by  Joan Klostermann-Ketels

Humani-TreesIn a photographic exploration of the spiritual aspect of trees, Joan Klostermann-Ketels calls for us to simply open our minds to the possibilitythat the forests and trees around us hold secrets and messages for us all. Humani Trees: Exploring Human Nature through the Spirit of Trees (Findhorn Press, June 2011) asks the reader to take a fresh look at the natural world around them, in particular trees, and realize that there are aspects ofthe human spirit nestled there.

Much more than a simple botanical text or field guide, HumaniTrees takes us on a walk through the forest to explore aspects of our own human nature. Using striking photographs of trees that represent these qualities, paired with inspirational quotes, this book encourages us to contemplate the relationship between our humanity, Mother Nature, and to something greater than ourselves. A handy discussion guide is included that provides an interpretive starting point for classrooms, book clubs, nature walks, or family outings.

Humani Trees is ideal as: 


  • a coffee table book for any place with a waiting room

  • a gift for any occasion (Holidays, birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, thank you, etc.)
  • 
an inspirational book for parents and educators who want to teach about the power of observation

  • a family "staycation" book to take the kids on a tree spirit walk of their own
  • 
a bedside table book to dip into and get inspired

Editor: I found this book delightful and beautiful. It's the kind of book I say, "I wish I had written that."
