Overview: In this book, author Lynne Sedgmore integrates presence, climate activism, and the alleviation of climate anxiety in an innovative and unique synthesis and new term - Presence Activism.

Verdict: By offering a profound solution with new perspectives, Presence Activism is steeped in a presence that moves activism beyond metaphors of war, enemies, and destruction, as well as the illusion of separation, into the visceral knowing of presence and interconnection, thereby making presence an important part of the way forward for current and future activism.

The book also introduces new processes of the Presence Flower and the Anxiety Flower to solve the anxiety issues we face, and to develop and expand our own personal internal coping mechanisms, responses, and capacities.

The result of thousands of years of the systematization of a lack of presence in our culture, institutions and economics, the crises we now all find ourselves within is a dangerously real one, and one that both spirituality and humanity, as a whole, needs to take stock of right here, right now.

And so author Lynne Sedgmore has brought forth a defining prose of profound wisdom, compelling and passionately structured, practical knowledge to help navigate the challenges of overwhelm, despair and hopelessness through a deep sense of connection, direct awareness and compassion.

Climate peril affects people deeply. It can feel like a massive responsibility, a huge burden, yet it can also be a wonderful opportunity to rethink who we are and how we choose to live.

Chapter 4 of this quite wondrous book dives into the nature, symptoms and scope of climate anxiety. It introduces the Anxiety Flower, the counterpart of the Presence Flower, to illustrate different types of anxiety, and how they can be dissolved by presence.

Presence Activism itself, is intended for both anyone new to the practice and concept of presence as well as someone already familiar with presence. It is an invitation to live and act from within the sacredness and preciousness of life.p> To be an activist from the direct visceral knowing of presence, being deeply present to what is emerging, and discerning how a deeper wisdom is asking us to show up, engage and act.

And so this profoundly engaging new book is a compendium of different perspectives and experiences of presence, as well as a powerful conceptual and thoughtful analysis of the fields of presence, climate anxiety, and climate peril.
