Summary
Details

Oakollective is a journey into forests where perception, healing and meaning come together. Amit Raphael Zoran walks through woodland landscapes across continents, exploring how time among trees can revive ways of knowing that modern life often obscures. The forest emerges as both a mirror and a teacher, a place where inner and outer worlds meet.

Drawing on fieldwork, myth and lived experience, the book examines how encounters with trees reshape awareness. It touches on spiritual nature traditions around the world, the broken dialogue between Western culture and the natural world, and the idea that the intelligence of temperate forests forms a cradle for human perception.

Oakollective is a work of encounter rather than theory. Science, spirituality and direct experience are woven together through narrative reflection and simple practices that encourage the reader to slow down, listen and reconnect with the living world. The book includes guidance for sensory awareness, ways of walking with presence, and approaches for restoring balance and clarity.

Rich with full color nature photography, Oakollective invites readers into a relationship with forests as living companions in the search for meaning.
