Sharifa Oppenheimer was the founding teacher of the Charlottesville Waldorf School and is the author of numerous parenting books including the well-received Heaven on Earth: A Handbook for Parents of Young Children and With Stars in Their Eyes: Brain Science and Your Child's Journey Toward the Self. After writing extensively from her experience, wisdom, and love of young children, she has turned her hand toward writing about other aspects of profound connection. In her new book Rewilding the Human Heart A Journey of Reunion, she invites the reader to travel with her into a new and ancient relationship with the living earth. It is a companion to her recent book of poems, A Litany of Wild Graces: Meditations on Sacred Ecology. In both books she explores humanity's biological and spiritual inter-being with our other-than-human relations. Visit her website: Wild Graces See less
