About this lesson
Reflecting decades of work, Herman students Anna Racicot and Gabrielle Herbertson organized, edited and compiled two books containing hundreds of Herman’s lessons. The books, Earth Journey I and Earth Journey II, are the source of most of the weekly lessons published on this site.
Each of the books contains more than 100 photos of Herman’s paintings, an introduction detailing the history and suggested use of the lessons, and an appendix that contains additional information about the communities practices.
Both books are available for sale through the Earth Journey organization’s online store.
A Herman Rednick Lesson
The food I eat, the clothes I wear, and the materials for my house are a gift from the Earth Mother. The trees, mountains, and rivers are a gift from nature. My body is formed from the earth and my spirit is from God. The fire in my heart is a gift from the Christ. Thus, every day I live in nature, and every moment of my life I live in Christ. I make use of this life through love and service.
