Overview

"Spanning two continents and stretching over 100 years, distant-yet-close cousins Regina Krummel and Sarah Lipton explore the richly flawed territory of relationship between generations, both ancestral and alive. The potent intimacy of the story they weave through their vivid correspondence illuminates a truly human journey of discovery. ""It took us over five years of correspondence to write this journey, but we've done so not only to guide ourselves back home to each other, our inheritance, and ourselves, but for as a guide for you, dear reader, to find yourself on your own journey back home, to yourself."" Sarah Lipton As Walt Whitman once wrote: ""we contain multitudes,"" and this is exactly what is explored inside this timely book."

Author Information

Sarah's passion for travel, contemplative practice and writing began when she was a small child in Maine, gazing longingly at the ocean, and the imagined worlds beyond. So she traveled internationally before going to Naropa University. Since then, over the last two decades, Sarah has guided thousands of leaders as they navigate the creation of thriving cultures. Through her business, The Presence Point (pending B Corp certification) Sarah works with organizations longing to empower their leaders from the inside-out. Her passion is rooted in over twenty years of service, contemplative training and teaching in the Shambhala Buddhist community and stems from the conviction that when leaders are genuine, society can bloom. She is also the founder of GENUINE, Inc, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that focuses on transforming society through community. Sarah is a keynote speaker, podcaster, visionary and author who now lives high on a hill in rural Vermont with her husband and two small daughters.
