Re-Aligning with Nature: A Q&A with author Denise DeLuca by Erin Connelly, The Biomimicry Institute | Sep 28, 2016 | Biomimicry and Climate Change, Blog |
What if business as usual didn’t have to be so…usual? In Denise DeLuca’s new book, “Re-Aligning With Nature: Ecological Thinking for Radical Transformation,” she explores how true change – on personal, company-wide, and societal levels – can’t happen unless we “realign what we do, how we do it, and why we do it, with nature and with our own human nature.”
I had a chance to ask Denise some questions about the book’s premise, the “aha” moments that led to her to write it, and how we can take steps to re-align ourselves with nature in our everyday lives.

Look what people are saying ...
"In [Re]Aligning with Nature, Denise DeLuca, one of the world’s leading lights in biomimicry, invites us to join her on a richly-illustrated journey of transformation, where nature is the real world, leading those who are curious and creative into ecological thinking. Characterizing this natural paradigm as six interconnected mutually reinforcing elements of abundance, synergy, systems, resilience, curiosity and trust, this punchy and powerful manifesto, treatise and roadmap shows us how to let go of conventional thinking, helping us to re-envision our practices and culture, ourselves and our organizations and to achieve practical, long-term results."

"This short book takes a great weight off our shoulders: the search for simple answers in a world suffused with change and uncertainty. By inviting us to think with — not about — the millions of other species with whom we share the earth, Denise DeLuca helps us reconnect — with living systems, and each other."

"We don’t see the world as it is; we see it as we are. Thoughtful people have noted this for centuries, but even if we’re struck by the idea, how can we see through our deeply conditioned ways of seeing? Denise DeLuca takes up this challenge in [Re]Aligning with Nature, leading the reader through a visual de-composition of our conventional assumptions about how the world works, toward a fresh way of seeing – the way Nature actually works. With her extensive experience teaching biomimicry to businesses around the world, she could have written a reference guide, or an organizational development handbook, but this neither. Instead, it’s an easy to read book that will stay with you – reminding you of who you really are – an empowered part of Nature, with all of its strengths and possibilities."

"This is a beautiful book I will regularly refer to for the wisdom it serves up in such an elegant, graceful and insightful way. In this easy-to-access book one is able to breathe-in the deep wisdom of Nature, which is rarely so adequately conveyed these days in our search for solutions beyond the same mindset that created the problems in the first place. An important and insightful contribution to our necessary revolution."

"What a great book! Very thought-provoking. It had me questioning some of my general reactions and approaches, especially thinking in terms of abundance. Thanks for sharing it with the world - I have a feeling that it will lead to quite a few epiphanies!"
