The healing power of nature—so important to physical, mental, and spiritual well-being and so undervalued in contemporary medicine—is the central theme of this wonderful book. The authors show us how people everywhere can work to create public green spaces that soothe and refresh and help heal communities and the world. Open Spaces Sacred Places is an inspired call to action.
—Dr. Andrew Weil, best-selling author

Open Spaces Sacred Places is a book that dramatically demonstrates how nature has the power to heal and unify in our increasingly frenetic 21st century world. It is a series of inspirational stories told through the voices of "firesouls," those passionate and persistent people who have brought communities together to create public areas of respite.
