DETAILS ABOUT THE PACKAGE:

Julian's Cell: An Earthy Story of Julian of Norwich


New from Wood LakeRalph Milton | 224 PP | 5.5" x 8.5" Paper | ISBN: 978-1-896836-50-8 | List price $22.95 | Julian's Cell is a unique work of historical fiction, an attempt to imagine Julian of Norwich's life as it could have been. This is the earthy story of "Katherine" - daughter of a stern and bitter mother. Married at age 16 to Walter, she loses both her children and her husband during the great plagues. She has visions of the passion of Christ and becomes an anchorite - she is "buried alive" in a cell attached to St. Julian's church to lead a life devoted to prayer and spiritual counsel. Today she is known as Mother Julian, or Julian of Norwich, the first woman to write in the English language, and one of the greatest Christian theologians and mystics of all time. Dr. Ralph Milton is one of Canada's best-known religious communicators, and a recipient of an Honorary Doctorate of Sacred Letters from St. Stephen's College, Edmonton. He also has an Honorary Doctorate of Divinity from the Vancouver School of Theology. A former news broadcaster, open line host and church administrator, Milton is the author of 17 books.


Creative Aging: Stories of Spirit, Grace and Gratitude


New from Wood LakeCarolyn Cowan and Karen Close | 320 PP | 6" x 9" Paper with french flaps | ISBN: 978-1-77064-790-9 | List price $24.95 | Creative Aging is a powerful new social and cultural movement that is stirring the imaginations of communities and people everywhere. Often called Sage-ing, it takes many forms: academic, social and personal. It includes festivals, conferences, classes, group sessions and individual creative pursuits. The Journal Sage-ing With Creative Spirit, Grace and Gratitude was founded to honour the transformational power of creativity. Intended as an initiative for collaboration and sharing, the Journal presents the opportunity for the free exchange of wisdom gleaned from creative engagement. Sage-ing is about seeking - satisfying inner gnawing and transforming it to knowing and action. Aging can be alchemy when one allows the realisation that to Know Thyself and contribute that knowing to our culture is indeed one of life's highest purposes. That knowing brings the gratitude, grace and integrity that a life deserves. The creative journey into self is a strong aid to health and wellbeing for the individual and to our culture. Creative Aging brings together more than 50 essays and galleries of images that showcase the power of the imagination expressed and enjoyed.

Your own body! What the Body Wants introduces readers step by step into InterPlay, a practice for creative and spiritual development that reintegrates the body into all aspects of life. Interplay, which is practiced throughout the world, is a philosophy and technique developed by Cynthia Winton-Henry and Phil Porter to foster health and transformation through community and creativity.

Arousing the Spirit: Provocative Writings


New from Wood LakeSusan McCaslin | 240 PP | 6" x 9" Paper | ISBN: 978-1-55145-597-6 | List price $24.95 | These writings by author-poet Susan McCaslin offer fresh and alternative ways of seeing and understanding our relationship with the Spirit. Christian-based, the 14 pieces that make up this collection (on topics such as perfectionism, paradise, the Beatitudes, Revelation, and presence) range beyond the compass of traditional Christianity to reveal universal wisdom and meaning. Written in beautifully nuanced language that articulates her clear thinking and captures her poet heart, the book reflects the central passions of McCaslin's life. McCaslin believes that actions speak louder than words or beliefs, and her pieces encourage us to explore ways to live life as a "mystical dance." Each chapter is prefaced by one of McCaslin's exquisite poems, leading the reader into a place of quiet contemplation from which to explore the writing. Susan McCaslin is a prize-winning poet and author of eleven volumes of poetry. Susan is Faculty Emeritus of Douglas College where she taught English and Creative Writing for twenty-three years. She lives in Fort Langley, British Columbia.


A Special BONUS - Yours FREE when you order.


New from Wood Lake If you purchase this Storytelling Package, we'll also send you The Long View: An Elderwoman's Book of Wisdom, by Donna Sinclair, which is all about finding and offering hope. It's about claiming the full meaning of eldership and knowing that elderwomen have much to offer. This collection of 365 daily reflections offers elderwomen (and younger women who wish to listen in) an opportunity to nourish the wisdom and deep knowing that comes from life experience. It also holds out the potential for growth, the opportunity to waken to different perspectives that can lead to rich possibilities and courageous actions. The challenges we face today are so enormous, so threatening, it is easy to fall into despair. For this reason especially, elderwomen need to seek hope and offer it generously. A journalist for more than 30 years, Donna Sinclair is an award-winning writer who has traveled widely in Canada, Africa, Central America, Britain, and Eastern Europe, and now lives with her husband Jim in North Bay, Ontario.
