You are not enough was never your truth. Rise into worthiness, joy, and kinship with life.

Feeling Overwhelmed by the Times We’re Living In?

Struggling to Find Deeper Purpose and Meaning?

You Are Not Alone!

We, as a human race, are living between stories. We don’t live in the world of yesterday. We don’t have a shared vision of the world of our desires. Nor do we know who we must become to give birth to such dreams. Is it any wonder folks feel they are navigating life without a map?

The son of a fundamentalist preacher, Larry knows what it is to be lost in life. He first considered suicide at nine years old. Surviving into his twenties, he discovered nature as refuge from shame and unworthiness. He spent subsequent decades cultivating a sacred intimacy with nature that would later grow to inspire and inform his thriving amidst a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Inside Wild Joy, Larry shares his journey out of despair and loneliness to profound belonging and oneness with Life. Come along as he takes you nose to nose with a bear that teaches him of the breath of life, mushrooms that reveal trauma-healing wisdoms, and Aspen trees that offer a visionary and ancient path into the living of a more beautiful now—together.

What Do They Say About Wild Joy!

"This is how you teach us, Larry, with kindness for all that we carry, even the hard-to-hold parts, the parts that cast shadows and yet belong to the wild whole."

"In an age of increasing disconnection from both nature and each other, this remarkable book reminds us that our deepest healing often lies in reclaiming our place within the web of life and the cosmos. Larry Glover’s journey out of an oppressive fundamentalism into a life of ecological communion, set against the backdrop of America’s most transformative cultural decades, offers a hopeful blueprint for personal transformation precisely when such visions are most needed."

“Far more than one man’s journey out of painful separation from self and soul, Larry Glover’s life story helps me ponder both my own trials along the path to a fuller humanhood and our entire society’s struggle to grow up by replacing domination over nature with authentic connection to our precious Earth as “healer, teacher and lover.”
