Wild Rituals: 10 Lessons Animals Can Teach Us About Connection

This book is all about relationships and ritual in the animal kingdom, which will lead to insights on how we can better have and sustain human connection with ourselves, others, nature. From a behavioral ecologist Caitlin O’Connell, the book explores the relationship rituals that go on in many different species; including elephants, zebras, felines, whales, flamingos, apes, and others, a total of 10 animal rituals. O’Connell will draw similarities and things that us people can glean from the function of these rituals in the wild world, in many different contexts. In a world where the hyper connectedness of technology has also caused other problems, this book is a touchstone on what we might have forgotten and what might have been missing in our interpersonal relationships.
