Rocks and mountains have withstood aeons of life on our planet - gradually eroding shifting
solidifying and weathering. We might spend a little less time on earth but humans are also
weathering: evolving and changing as we're transformed by the shifting climates of our lives
and experiences. So what might these ancient natural forms have to teach us about resilience
and change?In a stunning exploration of our own connection to these enduring forms outdoor
psychotherapist and geologist Ruth Allen takes us on a journey through deep time and ancient
landscapes showing how geology - which has formed the bedrock of her own adult life and
approach to therapy - can offer us a new way of thinking about our own grief change and
boundaries. In a world shaken by physical political and medical disasters Weathering argues
for a deeper understanding of the ground beneath our feet to better serve ourselves and the
world we live in.
