Books about Gianetta from Amazon.com

Intriguingly crafted, this book takes you on a journey through time, self and nature that will leave you reeling in inspiration A uniquely creative blend of spirituality, ecology and psychology, Stewards of Spirit walks you through a three-step process to awaken to your authenticity. The process, illustrated through an intuitively-inspired case study of the life of a 19th century woman, is based on the ecopsychological premise that humans' well-being is inextricably linked to nature. We can, therefore, look to the planet as a model for the fulfillment of our own individual potential. At the heart of this experience are Rachel's Ballads. While ensconced in these freestyle, lyrical writings, you will feel as though you are at a play where each new act builds upon the last culminating in a shocking finale that carries you back to an historic event that shook the world and to this day still captures our hearts and imaginations. Throughout, Ellis seamlessly weaves the notions of spirituality and self-development into the world of ecology demonstrating that nature offers us a route to awakening in direct contrast to our usual dichotomous approach that pits the "spirit self" against the ego or "false self." Whether you are seeking an experience that could change your approach to life or simply in the mood for an exceptional read, this book will surely fulfill your expectations.
