Tend explores the burgeoning field of mindful-driven advocacy by forging together the fire-building process, mindfulness and advocacy to provide advocates with concepts to sustain their advocacy fire.

Drawing from experiences in the wilderness, yoga, meditation, and two decades in politics, Dr. Camp approaches the often stern worlds of Zen and politics with a light-heartedness that allows readers to steadily deepen their engagement.
