Manuela Bosco: Yhteys luontoomme - Noora Mustajoki

“Nature is beautiful, harmonious, peaceful and quiet. Nature is fierce, wild, loud and painful. If we surrender to the process of creativity, if we surrender to life, we experience all the forces of nature within ourselves.”

Connecting with Nature describes the spiritual and physical process of creation through twelve stages. The process is constantly changing, like the phases of the moon or the cycles of nature around us. The cycles of creativity unfold in a powerful, inspiring, and down-to-earth way.

The work is based on paintings created for the book by painter Manuela Bosco and conversations about creativity recorded by non-fiction writer Noora Mustajoki. Her text leads us deeper into human nature, the laws of nature, and the continuous cycle.

Manuela Bosco is a painter, Kundalini Yoga teacher, former elite athlete and actress, and mother of four. She has also published a podcast series and the following written works: the non-fiction book Ylytys (Teos, 2012), the cookbook Vegemania (Cozy Publishing, 2016), and the children's book Pöytä joka tahtoi kodin (The Table That Wanted a Home, Otava, 2015), written together with Pamela Tola.

Noora Mustajoki is a non-fiction writer, editor and library manager living in Kittilä. She is also a Kundalini Yoga teacher trainer.
