Your travel guide...
When an elder dies, a library burns to the
ground.
~Amadou Hampate Ba
This African proverb sums up why the
Elder Speak program is so valuable and
important. The hard-won wisdom and
knowledge that Elders possess can be
shared with those ready to hear and learn
from them. As the Elder Speak program
progresses, Elders explore their life
experiences in a systematic way. From
what first appear to be “just memories”,
valuable nuggets of wisdom are revealed
both to the Elders themselves and to
those who figuratively “sit at their feet.”
Steve’s book is here!
In a compelling mix of short stories, scientific facts, ancient wisdom, and new age thinking, Quest- Living an Enlightened Life in the Mundane World takes us on a journey that answers one of life’s most perplexing questions:
How to live an empowered, mindful, even enlightened life when faced with the day to day challenges, conflicts, and mundane experiences that occupy most of our time.
Quest is grounded in science, steeped in the healing arts, and tempered by experience.
Chapters include- Quest, Inspiration, The Transformational Moment, Taking Inventory, and Karma. Some chapters offer contemplative exercises, others offer opportunities to practice the paradigm shifts the book presents. Imagine creating healthy choices over painful patterns, patient responses over hurtful reactions, and kindness over blame. Imagine how that would transform your life and relationships, perhaps transform your entire world.
Quest would have a meaningful impact on anyone who desires to transform their life and heal their relationships.
If you have ever felt lost, wondering how you ended up where you are, or felt that somehow you have misplaced your sense of self or your way, then this is the guidebook for you.
This Road Map is so valuable that it will become your new “go-to toolbox.” It’s full of ideas, directions, interactive exercises, and superpowers that will support you in centering, focusing, and coming back to your True Self, again and again.
Your True Self is the place where you are so comfortable, known, held, loved, and recognized. It’s a place where you tell yourself the truth. Where you are true and authentic. Is it easy to get there or be there? NOPE. That’s why we wrote a book about the journey it takes to find it. I-T. A journey to your True Self. At home, inside of you. This journey will get you from shaky to solid, from not OK to OK, from feeling unworthy to finding your value and your voice.
