Book SynopsisFrom the
New York Times bestselling author Anne Wilson Schaef comes a spiritual guide and everyday living manual that vitally respects and integrates the critical lessons to be garnered from Native elders from around the globe. In
Becoming a Hollow Bone Schaef imparts the richness revealed to her over many years by elder Native Americans, Aboriginal Australians, Maoris, and other Indigenous cultures. Schaef often heard elders from an all‑embracing variety of Native peoples say, "Our legends tell us that a time will come when our wisdom and way of living will be necessary to save the planet, and that time is now." Anyone ready to move from feeling separate to a profound sense of connectedness, from the personal to the global, will find a provocative path in this mind‑expanding, stunningly spiritual, yet practical book.
