Winner ForeWord Magazine Gold Award for Best Mind/Body/Spirit Book of the Year.
Jessica Nagler, author and psychotherapist, left Los Angeles in 1999 to travel to Central America on a spiritual quest. There she met up with a Mayan Shaman who taught her the ways of the ancient Maya and assisted in her own inner journey. While in Guatemala, Jessica had a profound awakening and though she eventually returned home to Los Angeles, she remained in solitude for nearly three years, studying Buddhism and chronicling her journey. Her first book, Jun Q’anil: One Who Walks the Way, is a direct account of why she left and the adventures that took her deep into the jungles of Central America and ultimately herself.
