Overview

This is an extraordinary account of a spiritual journey. Caroline Sherwood examines the path that led her to seek spiritual teachers and healers, both traditional and maverick. Based on diaries and journals, and written over the course of a lifetime, decades of study and practice are set against the day-to-day details of a memoir in a uniquely powerful combination. How do we go beyond our current sense of powerlessness to become a conscious and active teacher? What is the essential reality of our relationship to ourselves and the wider world? How can we help and heal ourselves, while also helping others? Whether you are just starting your spiritual journey, or are a life-long practitioner - this is a candid and thoughtful account of following a thread of gold.
