Deborah Ravetz explores the territory of our inner landscape by showing us that it is only through embracing and working with all aspects of our selves, including our vulnerability and pain, that we give meaning and experience joy. Through telling her own story and those of others who have faced their demons and worked through their struggles, she helps us to embark on the journey that all of us need to make in order to become fully ourselves. Packed with applicable strategies for spiritual development and practice, this book serves to empower and cultivate holistic wellbeing.

Reviews

Les McMinn, MA, PhD, Artist and Psychotherapist, University of Oxford
A rich exploration of what it means to be human. Deborah Ravetz deftly weaves a fascinating tapestry drawing widely from art, literature and life-writing.
Jimmy Stephen-Cran, Head of Department – Fashion and Textiles, The Glasgow School of Art.
Evocative, intimate and utterly compelling from start to finish.
Revd Dr Harriet Harris, University Chaplain, University of Edinburgh
It takes great courage to stay with pain and difficulty, and especially to ask about our own part. Ravetz emboldens us to do so, and in doing so encourages us that we can live deeply enough to die and be born into a new awakening of what life is asking of each of us.
Alastair McIntosh, author of Soil and Soul
The writing of Deborah Ravetz, like her art, weaves the reader into deeper patterns of the human for our times.
