It’s Not Just Child’s Play: Nature’s Powerful Effect on Children’s Well-Being

By Mary E. Gomes | October 22, 2013

Let us not forget our deep and intrinsic connection to the natural world—a bond that can motivate, sustain, and inform all our efforts.

“Michael Lerner takes the universal qualities wrongly diminished as ‘feminine’—caring, kindness, empathy, love—and dares to make them guides to a new kind of politics that can challenge the cruelty, competition, and dominance wrongly elevated as ‘masculine.’ Revolutionary Love opens our minds and hearts to a fully human way of living and governing.” — Gloria Steinem, feminist activist, and author of My Life on the Road
