Finding Sanctuary in Nature: Simple Ceremonies in the Native American Tradition for Healing Yourself and Others

My third book from this store and this one might be the best. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Highly recommend to serious students.

Grabbed this during a weekend order. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading. A text you study rather than simply read. A keeper.

Exactly what I was looking for. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. The font runs small in the appendices. Recommended with reservations.

Perfect companion for my morning study sessions. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. It assumes more background than a beginner might have.

Needed this for my research. It pairs well with more modern commentaries on the same tradition. It's become a regular reference in my practice. It assumes more background than a beginner might have. Happy enough with the purchase.

Ewing offers a pragmatic approach to shamanism, focusing on accessible ceremonies rather than dense academic analysis. The inclusion of evocative sketches and detailed instructions for building medicine wheels makes the content highly actionable for beginners. However, this book does not suit readers seeking rigorous anthropological accuracy or those uncomfortable with syncretic blends of Native American traditions and Western esotericism. It is also likely unsatisfying for advanced practitioners looking for complex, obscure lore. Instead, it shines as a gentle introduction to spirit guides and earth healing. Readers who prefer theoretical depth over practical application may find the simplicity lacking, but for those wanting immediate spiritual restoration through nature, it is a valuable resource.
