VISTA: Life and Getting Where You Want to Be: “VISTA is my name for the Big Picture Worldview I evolved in the course of my life. The word VISTA is an overlap of two shorter words: Vita, which means Life, and Visa, what we need to get where we want to be.... This book is the story – or rather, a slew of stories – about the development of my own Vista, so that you, Dear Reader, can follow my trajectory in my hope it might help you in evolving your own Vista. Why I wrote this book in this way, is a story in its own right.... [T]his book is about my own conscious creation of my ever- evolving Vista – how I became aware of my beliefs, recognizing how I was creating my reality through them, identifying their sources, and questioning them in order to decide which ones served me well and which needed changing.... I am seeking no publisher, as my sole intention is to have it formatted as an eBook in order to give it away freely to any and all who might enjoy the ride and find some value in it. —From the book's Prologue

Vista is a free PDF ebook (293 pages) accessible here and from its source.

EARTHDANCE: A Book

November 2000: The updated 432-page book of EarthDance (ISBN: 0-595-13067-4) is now published by (and available at) iuniverse.com, distributed by Ingram and available through all normal channels, including the big online bookstores.

Earthdance: Living Systems in Evolution: “To find meaning and guidance in nature, I integrated my personal experience of it with those scientific accounts that seemed to best fit it. From this synthesis, meaning and lessons for humanity emerged freely. I did the work in the peaceful, natural setting of a tiny old village on a small pine-forested Greek island, where I could consider the research and debates of scientists, historians, and philosophers, then test them against the natural world I was trying to understand.” --From the book’s introduction

EarthDance is a complete book FREE for the downloading from this site in the following formats:

Two-part video recordings has Elisabet talking about reuniting spirituality and science in order to form a new world view - a world view that shows how humanity is still evolving, and how the environmental crisis is the challenge that will prove our mettle as a species. Sahtouris draws upon the fascinating world of living systems to give examples of how change is ever-occurring in nature, and how we are all inter-connected in ways we have only just begun to understand. Do we have what it takes to survive?
