Sustaining Spirit: Self-Care for Social Justice by Naomi Ortiz

5.0

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.
