Book Club Recommendation for May 2020- Barry Godard
The Hunter-Gatherer Way by Ffyona Campbell
The Hunter-Gatherer Way by Ffyona Campbell
This is an extraordinary short book. Having walked around the world as a young woman the author, Ffyona Campbell, decided to try to find out what it would mean to live as a hunter-gatherer in England. Somewhat surprisingly, she found it took her about 30 minutes a day to gather from the wild the food she needed for her family. The book explores a host of original reflections and observations on how humans are designed to function and flourish in the natural world. It also advocates that we no longer have the confidence that this is possible and argues that this undermines our relationship with the natural world and with ourselves. This book will change the way you think. It’s required reading for all Shamans!
