True Human Book Launch

The global metacrisis poses an ancient question anew: Who and what is the human being?

Samantha Sweetwater

Who must we become as the old paradigm dissolves and a new story of Life struggles to be born?

A heartfelt welcome to a different kind of book launch with Samantha Sweetwater at Litteraturhuset Friday June 5th.

Samantha is a wisdom teacher, Gaian philosopher, and the founder of One Life Circle, Dancing Freedom, and Peacebody Japan. For over three decades, she has helped thousands across the world navigate personal and collective transformation, weaving somatic, ecological, systemic, and spiritual intelligence. Her work is dedicated to the emergence of a planetary culture of homecoming that hums in harmony with Life's Song.

Her book True Human: Reimagining Ourselves at the End of Our World promises to be a companion through collapse and emergence. It addresses the fundamental misalignment between flourishing Life and a system built on dominion, extraction, and unmitigated growth. It invites the reader on a journey of personal and collective reckoning, remembrance, and maturation, in which we embrace our place within the earth’s ecologies as a custodial species.

Lynne Twist – founder of Pachamama Alliance – has called the book ‘a profound initiation into self-knowledge, sacred reciprocity, and planetary maturity…a luminous reminder that another future is possible.’

Daniel Schmachtenberger says the book ‘offers the deeply engaged reader a reatunement of sense and mind to the miracle and incomprehensible sacredness of this Earth and the biosphere.’


Come join us for a deep immersion in wisdom and vision for a thriving planetary future!
