From 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.
