Product Description

Rocks and mountains have withstood aeons of life on our planet - gradually eroding, shifting, solidifying, and weathering. We might spend a little less time on earth, but humans are also weathering: evolving and changing as were transformed by the shifting climates of our lives and experiences. So, what might these ancient natural forms have to teach us about resilience and change?In a stunning exploration of our own connection to these enduring forms, outdoor psychotherapist and geologist Ruth Allen takes us on a journey through deep time and ancient landscapes, showing how geology - which has formed the bedrock of her own adult life and approach to therapy - can offer us a new way of thinking about our own grief, change and boundaries.In a world shaken by physical, political, and medical disasters, Weathering argues for a deeper understanding of the ground beneath our feet to better serve ourselves and the world we live in.

About Author

Ruth Allen is a psychotherapist, trainer and writer based in the Peak District (UK) specialising in ecopsychotherapeutic/outdoor practice. Her works brings together elements of traditional talking therapy, body work, movement and existential philosophy, and takes them outside into wild spaces where there is an opportunity to explore aspects of Self and lived-experience within the rest of nature. Ruth regularly contributes to mainstream and independent publications on themes of mental and emotional wellbeing, nature connectedness and adventure, and her work has been featured in Stylist Magazine, The Telegraph as well as BBC Radio 4 Ramblings with Clare Balding. Ruth is a keen occasional-adventurer when she has the time and in 2018 ran the length of the Bosnian Dinaric Alps solo and unsupported. She is interested in the inner and outer journeys we make, the stories we tell about them and the time we spend in solitude cultivating a two-way relationship with the living planet. Before entering the world of therapy, Ruth completed her PhD in Himalayan Geology in 2008, before later studying part-time for an MA in Creative Writing (Poetry), and worked in Higher Education for ten years. She credits a lifelong and 'interdisciplinary' relationship with nature as shaping the work she does today with individuals, groups and organisations. You can find Ruth on Instagram @whitepeak_ruth and on twitter @whitepeakwell. More of her projects, publications and even prints are available on www.whitepeakwellbeing.com
