In the afterward of Making Nature Sacred John Gatta begins with the question “Is nothing sacred ?” In today’s world, although we would like to believe this is an obvious no, we cannot be so sure. With an increase in corporative bullying and lack of respect for our natural world we as a people are forgetting where we came from. That’s why I believe that this course, Wilderness as a Sacred Place, is a critical learning experience for our entire culture. We are forgetting the spiritual renewal that can be found in nature and are forgetting that our most critical asset is our natural environment. Gatta goes so far as to mention postmodern secularism no longer construes this shift as a momentous existential drama involving “the death of God”. The direction of our culture is headed towards a complete dissolution of spiritual growth and respect for sacredness as well as an uprooting of what is defining our religions in America today.
