Walking through Darkness : A Nature-Based Path to Navigating Suffering and Loss

After going through a health crisis, author and expert on shamanism Sandra Ingerman began to think of a new way to see such periods of darkness as shamanic journeys, much like vision quests embarked upon by generations of leaders and healers. Joined by coauthor Llyn Roberts, Ingerman shares her wisdom and reframes hardship as a heroic opportunity to trust and be guided by intuition--a path that can only lead to a deeper level of self-knowledge.

After all, walking through spiritual darkness is a challenge that must be navigated without physical senses. Readers will learn how to decide where to go, whom to trust, and what kinds of strength can be found internally to help break through seemingly insurmountable challenges and find the light on the other side of shadow. This is the perfect gift for anyone going through something terrible--a period of bad health, depression, or grief. It encourages the reader to continue onward and offers concrete solutions for calling upon ancestors, as well as personal spiritual gifts, to help fortify against suffering.
