Description

Amazing glimpse into the shamanic and spiritual world of Lake Atitlan before the shadow of Christianity and consumerism crossed it. This book has made me take a better look, listen and feel of the natural world, of using poetry in speech, of taking care of one's tribe which is the whole planet.

Description

The author tells the story of his life in the Mayan community of Santiago Atitlan in Guatemala, discussing how he came to be accepted by the villagers even though he was an outsider, and sharing details of the spiritual and philosophical traditions of the Mayan people.
