"As Audrey Lourdes famously said: 'The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house.' That's why Extinction Rebellion asked us to say no to an extractive, exploitative, life-destroying system, by creating a regenerative culture. But what does this mean in practice? Carlos Glover is offering us a meaningful contribution towards the cultures we need to remember. Here is a rich compendium of teachings and practices, based in ancient wisdom, to sustain, inspire, and grow us, as we find our way back home together."-- "GAIL BRADBROOK, Ph.D., co-founder of Extinction Rebellion"

"Carlos has written a book about the mind and heart of humans, drawing on many years of dedicated study of the earth wisdom teachings.

"Carlos has written a book that is simple, easy to grasp, eminently practical, and deceptively deep. Its teachings come from a well-digested journey, and they reflect the man: kind, committed, and just. Carlos has followed the road of soul, meeting shadow and light with equanimity and strength, and he invites us to do the same. He blends the challenges of crisis with the beauty that life gives. I am glad to recommend this book, hewn from the rock of direct experience. Enjoy, and let's get down to work."-- "YA'ACOV DARLING KHAN, bestselling author of Jaguar in the Body, Butterfly in the Heart and Sha"

"So many years of study and insight of craft and care. Carlos has created a great gift for humanity . . . it is easy to read yet intriguing and deep.

It is such an amazing book . . . a great boon to offer to all those on the path of Self-realization."-- "RICHARD GOOD, founder of Imaginal Collective"

This book goes beyond self-help to the birthing of a new world and gives a framework to how we move there. I thought it was excellent."-- "CAMERON BROUGHTON, founder of Journeys with Soul"

"This wonderful book guides us through the eight directions of the Medicine Wheel, where we learn about actualizing our 'unlimited potential.'
