Doug is the creator of thirty-six books for children and adults, with over two and a half million copies in print. He is published by Simon and Schuster, Dutton, Candlewick, Scholastic, and University of Minnesota Press. Best-sellers \u201cOld Turtle\u201d and \u201cGrandad\u2019s Prayers of the Earth\u201d are recognized as timeless classics. As a wilderness guide he has led scores of trips for the National Wildlife Federation, Science Museum of Minnesota, The Smithsonian Institute and countless others. His books and music are grounded in his background as an environmental educator, and emphasize the timeless bond between nature and the human heart. Doug brings unmatched warmth and empathy to all of his personal appearances, along with a lively sense of humor and knack for spontaneously connecting with any audience. As a musician he performs on 6 and 12-string guitar, banjo, and mandolin, often with his Wild Spirit Band.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">A program by Douglas Wood leaves an audience restored and energized, feeling just a little bit closer to their own heart and to the natural world around them.<\/span><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/XM5_IzHhO94?rel=0\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>_______________________________________________\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Every Stone a Teacher\u2026 Every Breeze a Language<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-751\" src=\"https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0004-b-218x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"218\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0004-b-218x300.jpg 218w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0004-b-600x825.jpg 600w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0004-b-768x1056.jpg 768w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0004-b-745x1024.jpg 745w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0004-b-100x137.jpg 100w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0004-b-862x1185.jpg 862w, https:\/\/douglaswood.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/IMG_0004-b-1200x1650.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 218px) 100vw, 218px\" \/> A keynote for audiences of all types and ages, highlighting Doug\u2019s music and story-telling, with everything tied in to an abiding love for the earth. From a Native American legend of how mosquitoes came to be, or how a rabbit reached the moon, to songs about Spaceship Earth, Someday Isle, and being careful about what you step on, to the quiet pondering of our place in the universe, this program takes an audience on a gentle journey. Along the way Doug \u201ctransports his listeners back into the fabric of Nature\u201d and \u201creminds us of our unity with all of life\u201d. Des Moines Register; Joseph Cornel, author of Sharing Nature with Children<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Nature is filled with teachers and teachings, for those who know how to listen and look. There are clues on how to live a \u201chuman\u201d life, in harmony with our deeper selves and our environment. Each of us can explore the meanings that are there; within the sunrise, the stream, the flower, the rocks and woods of everyday life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201c<em>And what is each of us but a universe in miniature\u2026with lakes and forests, \u00a0stars and planets undreamed of, and unexplored.<\/em>\u201d \u2014Douglas Wood<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">_______________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Walking in Old Turtle\u2019s World<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The simple yet profound spirituality of this wise old being has entranced millions of\u00a0readers. Join Doug and Old Turtle in a guided journey through a world in which \u201cevery lake is a mirror and every tree a ladder to the stars.\u201d It is a world in which the sacred can be found in every one of us and in the world around us, in which we see ourselves in one another&#8217;s faces. \u00a0In Old Turtle&#8217;s world, there is no place and no one who does not matter, who is not important.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For, of course, it is not only Old Turtle\u2019s world, it is ours as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201c<em>And the people began to see God in one another\u2026 \u00a0and in the beauty of all the Earth<\/em>\u201d \u2014from Old Turtle<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">_______________________________________________<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The Wilderness Within\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Our Psychological-Spiritual Relationship with the Natural World<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">St. Bernard de Clairvaux once said, \u201cYou will find something greater in woods than in books.

But the essential idea for any traveler is that in spite of beginnings and endings, hellos and good-byes, it is all one trip. How we travel is who we are.
