The Wisdom of Wilderness

Experiencing the Healing Power of Nature

It has much to teach us about the wilderness within, and about the “greater power” manifest in the sublimity of nature. In this his last work, beloved author Gerald May offers a memoir and spiritual guide which reveals the great lessons available to us when we retreat from our busy lives to the serenity of the natural wilderness
