Picture green tree with quote The Heartwood Path transcends self-help (A) and ecology (B), and relationship improvement (C) and leads us to Self Ecology (A plus B plus C equals ABCD)--the “D” representing the emerging novelty.
Picture from above clouds with quote Learn from role models, but do not copy them blindly
Picture sunset on beach with quote Since you will not likely have a chance to go back and try things you neglected to do earlier, do things now, according to your true heart’s desire
Picture connecting with nature doing personal growth activity To express both your uniqueness and your commonality, commune with nature* and write the story of your life, emphasizing key moments of growth, missed opportunities, or problems that may have encouraged you to seek out the Heartwood Path or other personal/spiritual quests
