PRAISE FOR NINA SIMONS AND NATURE, CULTURE AND THE SACRED
The world seems to be divided into two kinds of peoplethose who divide everything into two, and those who dont. Reading Nature, Culture and the Sacred is a step toward melting this false division into feminine and masculine, and allowing each of us to become fully human again and at last.
Gloria Steinem, co-founder of Ms. Magazine
In Nature, Culture and the Sacred Nina Simons has woven a compelling and honest tapestry of hard-earned personal and collective wisdom, honoring the earth and igniting the revolutionary ways of women. Its a book as much about the inside as it is about the outside, exploring where and how they can meet for a sustainable future.
Eve Ensler, founder of V-Day and author of The Vagina Monologues
Nature, Culture and the Sacred: A Woman Listens for Leadership is the perfect book for this historical moment. Nina Simons not only knows the rare gifts of leadership women can offer, she also reveals how challenge and adversity bring these gifts forth more brilliantly and powerfully.
Joanna Macy, author of World As Lover, World As Self
With characteristic grace and great insight, Nina Simons shows us another path for leadership, one that grows from intuition, emotional intelligence and, above all, connection in every form, including human relationship. This book is a treasure chest of both knowledge and knowhow, giving us what we all need, women and men alike: a larger vision with which together we can save the Earth and ourselves from the devastation that comes from the sadly more narrow and impoverished ways of seeing we mistake for reality. This book is the real thing.
Susan Griffin, author of Woman and Nature and The Roaring Inside Her
Nina Simons listened to the call of her soul and stepped into her role of waking women up to the need to embrace their leadership abilities. Nature, Culture, and the Sacred shares a wealth of insights to assist us in replacing the old worn-out patriarchal and hierarchical paradigm. Simons brilliantly discusses the issues involved, shares moving stories of women around the world joining together to create change, as well as weaving in teachings from Indigenous cultures of how to reconnect people, nature, and the land. This is an amazing book that will inspire our current population of women and generations to come. It is an important book to help us ride the waves of change.
Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval and Walking in Light: The Everyday Empowerment of Shamanic Life
This is the time when the power of women returns to us, as we reaffirm our relationships to each other and to our Mother Earth. Together we will doula the next economy into being, re-birthing ourselves and this world. Ninas writing explores the path forward on this journey that we will make together.
Winona LaDuke, Executive Director, Honor the Earth
I especially appreciate the foregrounding of Indigenous wisdom and Indigenous elders and teachers in Ninas work at Bioneers and Cultivating Womens Leadership. Nature, Culture and the Sacred underscores the urgent necessity of shifting our awareness away from the stories that have kept us separate, alienated and divided throughout the centuries of modernity. I cant wait to recommend this book for Leadership courses at the university and to everyone in my circles! The poetic riffs in some of the chapters induce a kind of reverie that kindles the fire in my heart and suffuses me with longing for a future worth waiting for. May it be. Bathala Nawa.
Leny Mendoza Strobel, author and associate professor of American Multicultural Studies, Sonoma State University
To be a whole human being is to live our connection, our unity with all life, people and the Earth. Nina Simons messages in Nature, Culture and the Sacred remind us how to end needless suffering and embrace our wholeness.
Dr. Anita Sanchez, international bestselling author, The Four Sacred Gifts: Indigenous Wisdom for Modern Times
Nature, Culture and the Sacred invites all of us into a new way of living, loving and leading in the world; one that embraces the quest towards wholeness, honors the commitment to full integrity and celebrates the courage of true alignment. Nina has given us a gorgeous roadmap, paving the way towards greater self-love, appreciation and acceptance, all of which are sorely needed to lead in these times. Thank you, dear Nina, for this marvelous work.

A WOMAN LISTENS FOR LEADERSHIP
INTRODUCTION
hen I turned 40, I began receiving public acknowledgement for my leadership in Bioneers, featuring and making visible the innovative leaders, stories and visions related to sustainability. At the time, I had a very ambivalent response to being named a leader. I knew that I should feel honored, but instead found that I felt anxious and conflicted.As I shared my experience with friends and colleagues, most of them women, I discovered they too felt similarly conflicted about leadership as an aspiration or public persona. At the same time, I knew leadership from all quarters was hugely needed to address the social and ecological crises we were headed toward, so this incongruity plagued me. From that point forward I began a twenty-year exploration into the nature of leadership and its reinvention, an inquiry that has shaped my life ever since.
