the life forest
The Life Forest is an exploration of the author’s late-diagnoses of autism and ADHD, while drawing deeply on nature and animals as sources of inspiration, connection, and kinship. Here inner and outer landscapes are weaved together, integrating personal and familial experience, and self-understanding with interrelationship.
Through these poems, Erica Settino investigates themes such as ancestry and inheritance, facing the unknown, interconnection as the foundation of all of life, and believing in the power of hope as the place from which we can begin again, and again, and again.

Wild Union: A Major Arcana Yoga & Nature-Based Oracle
Wild Union is a yoga and nature-based journey through the Rider-Waite-Smith Major Arcana. Integrating traditional tarot insight, yoga asana (postural practice) and philosophy, and animal and nature symbolism, each card explores the interconnection and union (to which the word yoga is most often translated from ancient Sanskrit) of all living beings. As well as each person's own individual experience as an integral part of nature.
More than just a tool for self-refelction, Wild Union is a portal onto the path of embodied resistance, collective healing, and radical compassion. Each card offers an opportunity to reclaim your power, deepen your connection to the Earth, and align your spiritual practices with your values of justice, liberation, and care.
