Book Description

November 8, 2007
Walking the Path of Love
With the medicine wheel to guide us and Rumi's words to illuminate the path, we have the possibility for our own masterpiece: a life of love and happiness.

How do you want to love?  Most of us would say we want to love well—to become the best lover and beloved we can be.  We want our loving relationships to be full of joy, giving, and understanding.   

The timeless writings of Rumi, a thirteenth-century Sufi mystic and poet, reflect on the quest for the Beloved—the great merging with the mystical soul. Eight hundred years after the birth of the world's most visionary poet and philosopher, Rumi's wisdom endures as a powerful source for discovering how to love.   

In this lyrical exploration of Rumi's teachings, renowned author Ross Heaven reawakens and celebrates the soul's capacity for love by incorporating the shamanic concept of the medicine wheel to guide the seeker, first toward self-exploration and finally toward spiritual and fulfilling love.  Leap passionately onto the path of love, and uncover its real truth—the divine soul of the universe.

More About the Author

www.thefourgates.org

Ross Heaven was described by Guardian newspaper journalist James Shreeve as "the Joseph Campbell of our times". The director of The Four Gates Foundation for spiritual and shamanic wisdom, Ross is a psychologist, presenter, and the author of more than 10 books on shamanism, plant medicines, and the healing traditions, including The Hummingbird's Journey to God (the first book to be written about shamanic healing with the plant teacher San Pedro), Plant Spirit Shamanism (about ayahuasca and San Pedro healing and the therapeutic uses of other plants), Plant Spirit Wisdom (about healing traditions and practices with native European plants), and The Sin Eater's Last Confessions (about the folk-healing practices of Wales).

As well as his work with native shamanism, Ross has visited Peru since the 1990's to work with the ayahuasceros and curanderos of the Amazon and Andes, and with ayahuasca and San Pedro, the two legendary sacraments and teacher plants used by the shamans of these regions to heal the mind, body, and soul, and to unlock new levels of expanded consciousness.

He now offers the same opportunity for others, with retreat programmes and journeys to Peru where participants can work with indigenous healers and explore and expand their awareness through shamanic encounters with visionary plants.

He has also worked with the shamans and plant healing traditions of Haiti and his experiences in this area are recorded in his book Vodou Shaman, of which Publisher's Weekly said "This stands out as one of the most articulate and well-intentioned guidebooks available".

In his workshops, Ross draws from his cross-cultural knowledge of shamanism and its healing possibilities for creating new ways to understand ourselves, our connections to the Earth, and the journeys we are on.
