He gave her a formidable assignment based on an ancient practice from Tibet: she must procure \u003cem\u003eearth treasure vases\u003c\/em\u003e made of clay and potent medicines, fill them with prayers and symbolic offerings, and bury them around the world where healing is called for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThus begins the journey of a lifetime—sometimes harrowing, but always shining with beauty at the threshold between urgency and the timelessness of the sacred. In \u003cem\u003eSummoned by the Earth\u003c\/em\u003e we accompany this passionate and creative Buddhist teacher as she attempts to fulfil the daunting task. Ultimately, the path from the wise man's mountain cave winds around the world, bringing Cynthia into relationship with elders, activists, diverse ecosystems, and communities. One by one, as the humble clay pots are planted in the Earth, the power of an ancient technology of the sacred comes alive and a global community grows to protect the Earth and learn how to become vessels of healing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlong the way, we come face to face with the troubles burdening our communities everywhere while encountering some of the people leading the way to unexpected solutions and surprising new visions. We meet survivors of the Liberian civil war, and an ex-combatant who puts down his AK47 to take up mindfulness practice in order to create lasting peace. There's the Hero Women in Congo, who are resisting femicide and defending the sanctity of their bodies and the world's second largest rainforest. And there are the indigenous elders everywhere, from the outback of Aboriginal Australia to the Native pueblos of northern New Mexico, who, in keeping their lifeways alive, are stewarding their sacred lands and regenerating ecosystems vital to our collective survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThrough all these cultures and communities, the path leads us to a cave above the Los Alamos National Laboratory, back to the cave in Nepal where it all began, and finally, to another cave high on Mount Parnassus in Delphi where the Oracle, in service to the Goddess Gaia, once divined how we may best live in balance. Over and over, we touch the heart of the world, only to discover by journey's end that the heart of the world is everywhere and that our assignment now is to recognise we are a global family and wake up together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs many of us wonder what we can do in this eleventh hour, \u003cem\u003eSummoned by the Earth\u003c\/em\u003e offers a riveting account of one woman's response to the challenges we face, and is an irresistible invitation to become \"sacred activists\" heeding the call of the Earth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46868800372972,"sku":"9781632261328","price":49.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/3860773482769.jpg?v=1759770199"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/cynthia-jurs.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
