Winner of the 2018 Nautilus Gold Award (category: Women) and 2018 Nautilus Silver Award (category: Social Change & Social Justice). Bioneers co-founder Nina Simons offers inspiration for anyone who aspires to grow into their own unique form of leadership with resilience and joy. Informed by her extensive experience with multicultural women’s leadership development, Simons replaces the old patriarchal leadership paradigm with a more feminine-inflected style that illustrates the interconnected nature of the issues we face today. Sharing moving stories of women around the world joining together to reconnect people, nature and the land—both practically and spiritually—Nature, Culture and the Sacred is necessary reading for anyone who wants to learn from and be inspired by women who are leading the way towards transformational change by cultivating vibrant movements for social and environmental justice. "A compelling and honest tapestry of hard-earned personal and collective wisdom, honoring the earth and igniting the revolutionary ways of women." --Eve Ensler, founder of V-Day and author of The Vagina Monologues."The world seems to be divided into two kinds of people—those who divide everything into two, and those who don’t. Reading Nature, Culture and the Sacred is a step toward melting the 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"Nature, Culture and the Sacred 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 brings these gifts forth more brilliantly and powerfully."— JOANNA MACY, author of World As Lover, World As SelfNINA SIMONS, cofounder of Bioneers, is a social entrepreneur passionate about reinventing leadership, restoring the feminine, and co-creating a healthy and equitable future for all life on Earth. An advocate for social and environmental healing, she speaks and teaches internationally on leadership and transformational social change and is dedicated to the value of creating truly diverse collaborations and connections among issues, leaders and movements.

Nina Simons has graced us with a book that is needed now! Leadership is evolving, as is our relationship to our earth. This book inspires and ignites these changes in celebrating the feminine by joining together in leadership. Nina shares stories of many women leaders of today and yesterday. She has a gift of giving just the right amount of information in arousing the readers curiosity. This book was read in a woman's online book- group. Our meetings consisted of sharing stories and sections that most inspired us. And, which parts encouraged us to dig deeper into the study of social and environmental healing. We have been transformed! I recommend this book to all women of all ages. We are all part of the needed change. Thank you Nina Simons.

Inspiring read in troubled times

This is a must read for everyone! Women; to better understand how far we have come and how we can continue to move forward. Men; so they can better understand women and the need for the feminine to balance a world that is spiraling on the one wing of the masculine. Everyone: So that together we can begin to heal; the planet, relationships and nations. Nina eloquently shares her own journey in a humble and profound way, while also sharing the wisdom of other diverse women. We recently finished this beautiful book in a book club I am a part of and have all evolved because of Nina's work. Much gratitude to Nina!

A fantastically uplifting book for anyone who participates in group settings.

This is an amazing book that made me rethink how I participate in groups. It helped me realize that I have leadership qualities already. It solidified my existing sense that there is resilience in diversity, humility in recognizing interdependence, and many things to gain (not lose) from having all parts of ourselves celebrated.

In this almost unimaginable time of challenges and potential for change, this book offers experience and examples of the radically life affirming capacity of Women's Leadership. from the Book, " I believe that Women's amazing capacity to heal, grow and strengthen each other is likely the single greatest underutilized resource we have, as a species, for transforming our world." !!

Fascinating roadmap towards the leadership that will save humankind

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2023

In this rich and engaging book, Nina Simons points to how all our modern crises are rooted in a top-down, win-lose, patriarchal, and colonial culture – and that the survival (and thriving) of our species relies on transforming leadership: to one that is relational, compassionate, intuitive, and nature-guided.

Simons walks her talk: As you read her book, she is relational and draws you right in: she shares her pain, challenges and lessons through losing her mother – as well as her story of how her leadership style evolved from the old top-down model to one that is deeply inclusive, inquisitive, heart centered and embodied in ritual, connection and dance.

She expands into the social and global realms – laying out the most inspiring road map of how to lead – and create a life, community, and civilization that are rooted in:

• Indigenous and wisdom tradition models
• a “we” culture instead of a “me” culture
• a feminine-masculine balance
• heart based approaches to decision making
• relational and interweaved systems
• social and environmental justice
• healing the personal and collective trauma
• rituals, dance, rhythms, and embodied approaches
• cultivation of intuition, meditation, and contemplation

This book is a must-read for everyone interested in envisioning, leading and/or anchoring a better community and world. It should be in every school, library, government agencies, and corporate board rooms. Thank you, Nina Simons, for this extraordinary contribution!

This book is important

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 24, 2023

Every singe woman on the planet should read this book! Nina Simons takes us on a beautiful journey, connecting the dots between healing our inner wounds, women stepping into leadership roles, the cause and affects of the imbalance between the masculine and the feminine (the Patriarchy), the pursuit of social justice and equity for all humans, healing the planet, and more.

I also love all the wonderful prompts that were added after each chapter that give the reader an opportunity to reflect or assist with group discussion.

I have highlighted and referred back on many sections of this wonderful book.

An Important and Hopeful Read

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 17, 2023

I loved the writing, the style and the heart center that filled this book. Each chapter features writing like poetry, voices of others, and poses questions that can lead to solutions.

It is a book that talks about the imbalance between the masculine and the feminine, and how important the balance is to us all.
