"In a world of modern technology where we find ourselves living at a greater distant from nature and each other, Wild Rituals shows us the profound ways we are similar to the wild creatures that captivate us. Through the lens of the animal kingdom, this remarkable book journeys into the desert, tundra, and rainforest to reveal the importance of rituals within the inner lives of wild animals, and how those same traditions can make us naturally more connected to ourselves and those around us. After twenty-five years of studying animals in the wild, behavioral ecologist, world renowned elephant scientist, and award-winning author Caitlin O'Connell takes us step-by-step into the natural world, introducing us to the order and traditions of the wild that are necessary to find a simpler, more organic way of life. With fascinating stories of animal behavior from across the world, O'Connell uses the rituals of elephants, apes, tigers, and much more to help us understand the unspoken languages of the wild and tap into our innate ability to find healing, self-awareness, community, self-reinvention, and ultimately, deep connection to the world around us."-- Provided by publisher.
