Chadwick was an early force in the reintroduction of organics into horticulture, creating gardens of exquisite beauty and fertility in the 1960s and 1970s. In these lyrical talks, transcribed from taped lectures given to his students, the practical aspects of gardening, such as composting, irrigation, seeds, raised beds and bloom, are shown to have a spiritual substratum.
This volume harvests 16 incredible, inspired, and practical talks given by Chadwick, the greatest horticulturist of the 20th century (E.M. Schumacher).
Understanding Self and Others in the Postmodern World is unlike most books directed at giving people insight into themselves in that it is addressed to those who want to think about their lives, relationships with others, and how Western culture has arrived at the Postmodern World. This book examines seven different worldviews that have become dominant for periods of time in the history of Western culture. The author explains that, although all worldviews share the same structure and characteristics, they vary markedly in their contents. Further, a worldview molds those entering it after its own image. Those readers: (1) who identify their own assumptions about the nature of reality, what it...
WALKING WITH ALETHEIA is a story of how Jean Hargadon Wehner--through time, perseverance and inherent wisdom--found the courage to confront demons of sexual abuse from priests at her Catholic HS, ultimately leading to a place of resilience, hope and walking with Aletheia--the Greek goddess of truth. How, in the end, one can see the power and healing effect of the mind by leaning into the truth. This is a book of deep healing. Literary Nonfiction. Memoir.
Fiction. Fantasy. Faerie Tales. Myth. THE RITUAL OF FORGETTING is the first book of the After Ever After trilogy, in which the heroines of four archetypal fairy tales (Snow White, Cinderella, Beauty & the Beast and Sleeping Beauty) transform through wicked-witch magic into true female sovereigns, in a mythical expression of the more complex, intimate love story after the "ever after."
Literary Nonfiction. Jewish Studies. A TANGLED TREE: MY FATHER'S PATH TO IMMORTALITY begins in the summertime, as Aiyanna follows her father Moshe on their big adventures--living on a nude beach on Kauai, chasing the Grateful Dead in an old milk truck, offering prayers to the Wailing Wall, lighting candles in the Shabbas House in Massachusetts, which is always their base. Twelve years later and after years of distance, Moshe arrives at her door, barefoot, with a beard to his chest, a sage of Judah adorned in fine Indian silk. They have reunited with a shared vision: To record his life story and memoir. Born as a Polish Jew on the run from the Nazi invasion launching World War II, Moshe and h...
In these lectures, Steiner focuses on the vital task of developing the proper orientation toward a free spiritual life. With great compassion and understanding, he offers telling examples of how humanity must walk a conscious middle way between the two tempting powers of Lucifer and Ahriman. He describes the incarnation of Lucifer in the third millennium before the Christ event, out of which flowed not just the wisdom of paganism, but also the conscious intellect we enjoy today. Ahriman, on the other hand, is shown approaching human beings through such phenomena as materialism, nationalism, and literalism, all in preparation for his incarnation in the third millennium. Keep in mind, however,...
Literary Nonfiction. Essays. Classics. Mythology. Traditionally, the mountains are from whence wisdom is found and dispensed, the homes of the gods, places we look up to for aspiration and inspiration. Yet there is another source of insight, which involves a katabasis, from the Ancient Greek, meaning 'to go down', to travel from this world to the underworld. There, the chthonic gods and goddesses are just as real, and maybe just a little bit edgy from being neglected for so long. It is the journey of the initiate, to die before you die, thence to live twice-born: once of the flesh, and again of wisdom. KATABATIC WIND is an inspired collection of essays drawn from the lost unknown sacred trad...
Beekeeping and monasticism have for centuries been partners, and here this ancient practice continues, combining the mystery of the soul with the magic of the hive.
This unique work – the fruit of many decades’ research and experience – throws new light on the supersensible history and karma of the Michaelic movement since Rudolf Steiner’s death. It describes that movement’s evolution and transformation in the etheric world during the twentieth century, from the world-changing apocalypse of the 1930s and 40s through to the beginning of its incarnation on Earth at the end of last century. The book also focuses on developments in the practical and social work of building the community of the School of Spiritual Science, which embodies the new Michaelic movement in our time. As Ben-Aharon indicates, the Michaelic movement is searching for creativ...
