Welcome to my collection of spiritual ecology writing, where I explore the connections between the sacred feminine, spiritual ecology, and nature mysticism. Originally, this site was created as a platform for my book, The Dance of Light, but it has since grown into a space that hosts my personal essays and published work. Dive into these reflections that remember humanity’s innate connection to the Earth, while discovering the roots of the book that sparked this journey.

The Dance of Light, published in 2008, is a story about the sacred light present within the living body of the Earth. Weaving together threads of African earth lore, wisdom from a Sufi mystic, and my own devotion to spiritual ecology, the book explores the oneness that flows through all realms of creation.
Book Reviews
“The Dance of Light explores the inherent oneness within life from a unique perspective: a multi-dimensional journey from the mineral kingdom, to the subtle realms that surround us, to our role as human beings. Only through including these different realms can we understand the true nature of life’s oneness, can we remember how the world is alive and permeated with light. The Dance of Light restores an original vision that is vital if we are to live the change that is so needed at this moment in time.”
– Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, Sufi teacher and author.
“The Dance of Light is a magical book that invites us to see and hear the world as our ancestors once did, from “a state of communion with the oneness of the world… the light of oneness of creation.“
– Cynthia Sue Larson, author of Reality Shifters.
“Steven Hurt takes us on a mystical journey with an understanding of the earth as a living being of light, the Great Mother to us all. His words gently invite us to stretch beyond our limited view of the world and open ourselves to a new spiritual understanding of our relationship to Nature“
– James Loretta, author of Quantum Feng Shui.
