5.0 out of 5 stars Visionary Voices Unite For Planetary Healing, February 28, 2005
Review of Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves
By Roger Phillip Lothamer

This amazing anthology is vastly different from any others I've read. Usually I find such books don't hold my attention much more than those I keep in the bathroom for my short interest-span throne readings. But Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves is so radically different that I practically couldn't put it down. The hi-caliber authors deliver a terrific punch in this collection of hard-hitting diagnoses for what ails our planet and us today. More like a reality check than a diatribe, this book is chock full of astute insights, practical suggestions, tried and true workable solutions, scientific evidence, and ancient mystical wisdom presented in positive and enjoyable prescriptions for humanity to have a healthier and happier life on Earth.

I was blown away by Helen Caldicott's contribution of facts and warnings about nuclear war and how America can save the world. I was uplifted to the level of transcendence by Andrew Harvey's discourse on how compassion today leads to spiritual activism. I was flower child born again by reading Ram Dass telling "I see politics as heart to heart. I tell people to not be satisfied with their leaders until they find a representative of the heart." I found Barry Sears' explanation to be completely astonishing of how important it is to understand that hormones need specifically hi-omega3 dietary help and how that all applies to our global wellness. These are only a few of the contributions; they all are equally powerful and exciting.

Just reading the list of the 38 names of the co-authors impressed me at first. Besides those I already mentioned there's also the Dalai Lama, Mary Catherine Bateson, Huston Smith, Daryl Hannah, Saniel Bonder, Deepak Chopra, Neale Donald Walsch, Debbie Ford, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Alberto Villoldo, and many more; but what really rang my bell was how they all focus as one voice on the real and very present ailments of humanity and planet Earth. Inspiring, motivating, enlightening, and absolutely essential reading for today's conscious, concerned citizens; this is exactly the ammunition you need to use in your discussions with your community; fill your quiver with arrows that hit the heart of the matter! This is the best anthology I ever read and I highly recommend it.

A series of very insightful essays from many perspectives. I found this book very thought provoking. It is a "must read" for all who are concerned about the health of our civilization, our species and our planet.

5.0 out of 5 stars Marya Mann's Biography , September 20, 2008
[...]

Marya Mann, Ph. D., earned her B. A. in English from Boston University. After studying with Joseph Campbell and Jean Houston, she received her doctorate from the Union Graduate School in 1986. In her 30-year career in Dance, Yoga, and Theater, she not only pioneered research in the Psychology of Creativity but invented practical applications of the arts in sustaining social harmony. She has taught more than 20,000 students from Sydney to St. Louis, was a founding member of the Holy Cow! Theater Co. in Colorado, and conducted anthropological research on Pacific Arts and Cultures in Bali, Indonesia, where she performed and taught at the "Center for Art and the Future" with Takdir Alisjhabana.

While on the field faculty of Regis University, she developed the highly successful Renaissance Arts Project for youth-at-risk which was funded by the Colorado Council on the Arts and Humanities and the Boulder Arts Council. She founded the Lotus Living Arts Center in Illinois to help solve societal problems through cross-cultural arts in the heartland of the United States. The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers sponsored her Environmental Arts programs with thousands of children for Earth Day activities in the 1990's at Carlyle Lake. Co-Author of Healing Our Planet, Healing Our Selves with the Dalai Lama, Barbara Marx Hubbard, and Deepak Chopra, she currently writes, consults, and teaches on the Big Island in Kailua Kona, Hawaii.
