Havens in a Hectic World: Finding Sacred Places
Can$29.95
The frantic pace of our world leaves little time for reflection, and even less time to nurture our spirits. In this insightful book, Star Weiss explores the spiritual geography of the West Coast with individuals from a wide variety of faiths and cultural traditions. In visiting their sacred places, and hearing them share their stories, Weiss raises questions about our contemporary sources of spiritual growth, our evolving ideas of the divine, and the power of place. From mountains to ancient forests to labyrinths, she takes readers on a journey of awe and wonder through both the geographic destinations, and the experiences they make possible.
Star Weiss is an accomplished journalist, educator and author. Her writing has appeared in The Globe and Mail, The Vancouver Sun, Focus Magazine and Chatelaine.
