Rekindle your relationship with the natural world for inner healing, self-acceptance, and a sense of deeper connection. From the Depths of Creation: A Nature-Based Path to Healing by Liz Beachy Gómez is an award-winning book (2024) that offers a compassionate and loving antidote to the pervasive feelings of isolation, imbalance, and emptiness felt by many in today’s society.

Discover a Brazilian elemental framework for understanding nature’s wisdom and guidance, and learn to embrace your own unique nature through the perspective of the natural world. The book gently guides you to explore and rebalance aspects of your inner landscape through practical exercises and healing rituals to be done at the river, by the fire, in ocean waves, near the forest, on the wind, and more. Learn to interpret the language of nature through multiple layers of psychological and spiritual meaning, guided by the primordial forces of Fire, Earth, Water, and Air.

Endorsements

“Despite the many pressures of colonialism and cultural amnesia, Earth-loving peoples around the world continue to live from a deep knowing that we are made of the elements, the ancestors, the land, and the mysteries. This offering by Liz Gómez makes a valuable contribution to this essential remembering by drawing on traditional Yoruba and Afro-Brazilian wisdoms as well as her own rich life experience and training. Highly recommended!”

From the Depths of Creation offers techniques for becoming more attentive to the elements of earth, air, fire, and water we encounter every day. With clear guidance and depth of experience, Liz Gómez shows how elemental forces can be allies in reconnecting the “outer” worlds we share with the “inner” healing and wisdom we may seek.”
