Our Beloved Futures unfolds as a sweeping spiritual reflection on collapse, rebirth, and our tangled relationship with Earth. The book blends myth, ecology, futurism, and deeply personal experience into a poetic call for awakening. It moves from the author’s own encounters with grief and wonder to a larger vision of humanity rising through crisis into a renewed sense of interbeing. The early chapters weave Venus, Inanna, banyan trees, and butterfly metamorphosis into a single thread about losing the self we cling to and returning to a more ancient, peaceful way of being. It is a book about remembering who we are beneath the noise.

The writing is lush and vivid. Sometimes it feels like prayer, sometimes like myth retold in the glow of a campfire. I loved that softness. It slowed me down and opened space for feelings I usually push aside. The author writes about grief, collapse, and accountability with a kind of tender boldness that made me stop and breathe. I found myself nodding along when she described anxiety as an “animal” roaming at night that looks for a mind to inhabit. I’ve felt exactly that, and seeing it named so plainly surprised and comforted me.

The language can get mystical. I would catch myself wanting something firmer to grab onto. Still, the sincerity kept pulling me back. The book’s belief in our ability to change is infectious. I appreciated how the author doesn’t dodge the hard stuff. She talks about complicity, privilege, and the uncomfortable work of reckoning with modernity’s harms. She calls it the “age of consequence,” and it resonated with me because it feels exactly like where we are. Even when I didn’t fully track every metaphor, I never doubted the heart behind it.

The book invites you to see yourself as part of a larger unfolding, and even if you don’t share every spiritual frame in its pages, the emotional truth still lands. I’d recommend Our Beloved Futures for readers who enjoy poetic nonfiction, mythic storytelling, and spiritually grounded reflections on climate, culture, and personal transformation. It’s especially suited for people who like to sit with big feelings and big ideas at the same time.
