How do those of us born "different" forge a life of authenticity and deep meaning in a world
that emphasizes social norms? And how do we regain true partnership with the natural world
when we have been taught to view everything as a resource to be exploited?
Artist, healer, bard, and traveler Susannah Ravenswing brings much-needed wisdom as she
shares her animist experience of a world filled with wonder and mystery. In this poignant and
courageous memoir, Susannah offers encouragement and inspiration, turning our eyes and
hearts to the magical connections between Body, Land, and Spirit.
In an account both tender and fearless, she embraces the truth of her identity as one who is a
bridge - between genders, between worlds - and in doing so, discovers her sacred calling as a
spirit worker and shaman. This journey is at once instructional and inspirational, inviting us to
listen more deeply to our own Inner Knowing. Whether you are a seeker, an outsider, or a
spiritual inquirer, the poetry of this offering provides a heartfelt affirmation of the power of the
authentic life, lived in sacred relationship with the natural world.
