About Eleanor O'Hanlon
Eleanor O’Hanlon is a writer and conservationist with a passion for re-connecting with the inner, spiritual dimension of our relationship with wild animals and the natural world. Her book Eyes of the Wild Journeys of Transformation with the Animal Powers takes the reader on a remarkable journey of close encounters with whales, wolves, polar bears, brown bears and wild horses, in the company of indigenous guides and field biologists who are renewing ancient ways of finding inner connection with the wild. Eyes of the Wild was awarded the Nautilus Gold Book Award for Nature Writing, and has won praise from leading ecological voices for its innovative blend of personal experience, science, story-telling and spiritual insight.
“Eden, I think, is not simply a mythical place, or a metaphor for original innocence, or an outworn and divisive religious symbol. Eden is a state of being, and we are free to return every time we know ourselves again in deep communion with the rest of life.” — Eleanor O’Hanlon, Eyes of the Wild
