In our performance-oriented society, modern humans have drifted far from their roots. Chronic illnesses and psychosomatic complaints have increasingly become common afflictions. Is this really our fate?

Thomas Lambert Schöberl knows another way: To tackle the challenges of our time sustainably and with new creativity, he recommends giving space to the wonders of nature and the holistic view of the world and humanity, and becoming aware of their significance for body, mind, and soul. Many people increasingly feel a longing for nature, for more authenticity in their lives, and for a new definition of the meaning of life.

In a poetic yet immediate manner, the author shares his own path to healing and the process of his personal development. As a naturopath, musician, and art scholar, he sensitively takes us into a long-forgotten visual language that reveals the immaterial wealth and countless perspectives of a holistic worldview. He illustrates that the profession of naturopathy and the ancient knowledge of natural healing are valuable and worthy cultural assets through experiences from his practice.

"Yes, we are like trees with strong roots, we are the melodies of a cosmic dance and the prayers of an ongoing creation. We should follow these roots, these inner songs, these powerful sparks of hope - even into the unknown, into the deep earth... into our souls."
