Finding Our Way Home


Book Description

In this time of ecological crisis, all that is holy calls us into a more intimate partnership with the diverse and beautiful beings of this earth. In Finding Our Way Home, Myke Johnson reflects on her personal journey into such a partnership and offers a guide for others to begin this path. Lyrically expressed, it weaves together lessons from a chamomile flower, a small bird, a copper beech tree, a garden slug, and a forest fern, along with insights from Indigenous philosophy, environmental science, fractal geometry, childhood Catholic mysticism, the prophet Elijah, fairy tales, and permaculture design. This eco-spiritual journey also wrestles with the history of our society's destruction of the natural world, and its roots in the original theft of the land from Indigenous peoples. Exploring the spiritual dimensions of our brokenness, it offers tools to create healing. Finding Our Way Home is a ceremony to remember our essential unity with all of life.

Silence


Book Description

An introduction to the nature and benefits of silence as a new spiritual reality that can lead to self-awareness and healing in our chaotic, fast-paced world With its beautifully rich prose, Robert Sardello's newest book invites us to experience silence as a companion presence—a creative heart-felt experience that renews, restores, and deepens the body's response to the internal and external world. Drawing on images and ideas from the Trials of St. Anthony, anthroposophy, depth psychology, and phenomenology, the book delves deeply into the subtleties of silence, exploring the phenomenon as a source of wholeness and revitalization. Sharing his own insights from years of experience in spiritual psychology, Sardello takes us on an inner journey beyond the chaotic noise of the ego to a place of inner communion and self-healing. Silence opens our eyes to the importance of cultivating the nurturing aspects of silence in our personal relationships and enables us to awaken the inner currents of spirituality that ultimately lead to a path of universal compassion, service, and healing.




Nurturing Hope


Book Description

Trends and skills for those who offer pastoral care Christian pastoral care has changed a great deal in the past few decades in response to many factors in our rapidly changing world. In part 1 of Nurturing Hope, Lynne Baab discusses seven trends in pastoral care--shifts in who delivers pastoral care, the attitudes and commitments that undergird pastoral care, and societal trends that are shaping pastoral care today. She illustrates them with stories from diverse congregations where Christian caregivers are meeting those challenges in creative and exciting ways. In the second half of the book, Baab presents four practical, doable, energizing skills needed by pastoral carers in our time. Focusing on skills that help carers nurture connections between everyday life and Christian faith, she explores the need for carers to understand common stressors, listen, pray with others, and nurture their personal resilience. Grounded in an understanding of God as the true caregiver and healer, the author offers tips for readers who are training other pastoral carers or developing their own understanding and skills. Each chapter ends with discussion and reflection questions, making the book helpful for groups. Lynne Baab brings readers hope for their caring role and for their own spiritual journey.

Nurture Being


Book Description

We are human beings. It's right there in our name what we are. Beings! And yet who truly understands the nature of being? When we nurture being we become a living embodiment of the feminine principles of life nurturing the whole of our existence. And our existence is sustained by the great forces of the feminine. This book is meant to be a model for how to come into a deeper relationship with your being through the kind act of nurturing being. The more you nurture being, the more deeply connected you are to your being in every sacred moment of life. Nurturing being is born out of the art of being. This is an art of allowing. It is unfolding your leadership by letting the potential inside of you emerge. This potential comes forth naturally when we allow ourselves to be ourselves. We do not try with our thinking capacities to make ourselves different from how we naturally are. Instead, we let ourselves be. When we nurture being we become role models to others around us by the simple act of being ourselves. When we are simply being, we are leaders. Being is the most profound act we can ever embody. It is not what we say that matters here; it's who we are. This first book from Adam Bulbulia contains a selection of 42 short exercises that support anyone improving their experience and sense of being. Each exercise helps develop different aspect of our experience of Simple, Natural being, from how being is Allowing, Listening, Feeling, Open Mindedness, Gratitude, and having Courage, to how being can Unfold with the Seasons, embraces the Unknown, and we can know our Wholeness. Nurture Being helps us discover a more worldly sense of being that does not need to Compete, seek Perfection, Approval, Power Over, or hold onto the Past and any Illusions.

A seven-week guide to help you shift your behaviors and create lifelong habits to care for your whole self— mind, body, and soul. "In a world that has cheapened self-care, Chanequa Walker-Barnes provides a valuable, faithful, and much-needed antidote.” —Jeff Chu, author of Does Jesus Really Love Me? Taking care of ourselves is essential, and lately, we’ve started to pay more attention to the ways our physical bodies need and deserve nourishment. But we are not just bodies, we sacred beings, and our souls need just as much care and attention to be healthy. As a clinical psychologist, pastor, and activist, Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes has studied and worked with clients, clergy, seminary faculty, faith-based activists, and others to encourage them to think of self-care as both a divine right and a sacred obligation. She has developed a seven-week guide gathering activities, habits, disciplines, and practices that promote spiritual, physical, emotional, mental, and relational wholeness. Each day includes a story alongside short and simple prompts and scripture passages that help us shift behaviors in the short term and create lifelong habits. Each week walks readers through the following areas: Mastering the Self-Care Fundamentals Practicing Self-Compassion Setting Healthy Boundaries Caring for Our Emotional Selves Caring for Our Minds Practicing Self-Care as a Way of Life Also included is an inventory for identifying areas you may need to focus on, and a "Rule of Life" guide to help you direct your self-care practice and maintain it throughout the year.
