Join us for a thoughtful discussion with author Robert T. Perschel centered on Numinosity: A New England Forester's Search for the Ineffable.
ABOUT NUMINOSITY
There are moments in our lives where a door of awareness opens, if only for a brief second. These are the moments that are simply impossible to express, but moments that have captured us for all time. Join a New England forester on a fifty-year quest for something larger than all of us. Numinosity is a short book of essays, stories and poems emerging from the natural world, but always connected to a life that has had its common share of illumination and darkness, hope and despair, love and loss, resistance and acceptance.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR : Robert Perschel
I formed a deep connection to the natural world very early in life, beginning a journey that continues today. My experiences in nature have shaped my thinking, expanded my awareness and offered me new perspectives.
To better understand them, I studied psychology and wisdom traditions and integrated these insights into a new leadership model in forestry and large-scale land conservation.
