Grounded is about healing our ruptured connection with our ancestors and with the land
A WATERSTONES BEST BOOK OF 2023: NATURE AND TRAVEL
For thousands of years, our ancestors held a close connection with the landscapes they lived in. Seeking that lost connection, James Canton takes us on a journey across ancient England: from stone monuments to sacred groves, places of pilgrimage and sites of religious worship.
Grounded invites us to step away from our modern world, to rekindle the wonder and awe in the places we live in, to discover the history and meaning encoded into the land - if only we take the time to look.
