I am so grateful for this book and for the life and work of Randy Woodley.” - Cláudio Carvalhaes, associate professor of worship, Union Theological Seminary We begin to think and feel differently, our senses gain new direction, and we start to gain roots. Randy Woodley takes us by the hand and walks with us for the first one hundred days. “ Becoming Rooted offers us a precious way back into the land: a way into restoration and reciprocity, a way into healing ourselves and the land, a way of belonging again, a way of finding out who we are. Through slowly unfolding layers of meaning, he shows us where we may discover that place for ourselves.” -Steven Charleston, elder of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma “Randy Woodley reminds us that we all have an understanding of what it means to be indigenous to a spiritual place. It is also an invitation into a different kind of relationship with Creator, however you understand Creator to be present in your own life and within everything-as God, as Great Mystery, as a higher power, or as the universe." - Randy Woodley "This journey is your personal invitation into a different kind of relationship with nature-or, as I like to say, with the whole community of creation. Our task is to look, and to listen, and to live well. In walking toward the harmony way, we honor balance, wholeness, and connection.Ĭreation is always teaching us. Woodley invites us to come away from the American dream-otherwise known as an Indigenous nightmare-and get in touch with the water, land, plants, and creatures around us, with the people who lived on that land for thousands of years prior to Europeans' arrival, and with ourselves. Through meditations and ideas for reflection and action, Randy Woodley, an activist, author, scholar, and Cherokee descendant, recognized by the Keetoowah Band, guides us on a one-hundred-day journey to reconnect with the Earth. What does it mean to become rooted in the land? How can we become better relatives to our greatest teacher, the Earth? Becoming Rooted invites us to live out a deeply spiritual relationship with the whole community of creation and with Creator.
