I loved this book from the moment I opened it. I've recommended it to so many people. Too often self care is pedicures and a face mask. Ortiz reminds us that self care is being rooted and caring for that which grounds us. Getting sustenance and wisdom from nature. Forgiving ourselves to create space for having compassion others (which doesn't mean that people get a free pass to treat us like doormats). Letting go of perfection (such a tool of patriarchal white supremacy). So much joy and love in this book. I read it slowly so that I could digest and copy and practice.

Highly recommend this book to therapists, counselors, social workers, chaplains, and people in related fields, in addition to the activists that it addresses itself to directly. Our work is similar in many ways to activism in general.
This book also carries a lot of wisdom in regards to systems of interdependence and disability rights, and many therapists could probably also find it beneficial to read from a spiritual and cultural perspective that is not often represented in formal training and education of a therapist.

I’ve started it twice, but am accepting this more spiritual approach isn’t a good fit for my personal journey. For the right reader, though, I think this book could be powerful medicine.
