I listened to this book on Audible at a difficult time and found it packed with distillations of ancient traditions and helpful exercises. I love Jo’s no-nonsense delivery, her advice against worrying we are not practicing our spirituality enough, her insistence on the importance of belly laughs and fun: “Sometimes spirit is best served with ice and lemon”…. I need to buy the printed version now.

A wise friend!

A life altering listen. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Want to buy a hard copy now so I can re-read key chapters over and over!

Absolutely loved this book. I am the sort of person that welcomes anything into my home that brings me joy, this definitely passed the joy test. I can’t even put into words how much this book has changed my outlook of life. Looking through the prospectus of our local college unfortunately there is nothing in regards to being a shaman, so it is for now a dream. The authors work is beautiful and I hope I do the knowledge it shared justice by sharing with others in my life 👌

I loved the audiobook because Jo’s voice is soothing and calming. Although I have practiced mindfulness for many years, I still learned so much from Jo’s knowledge and insights. It has certainly given me lots to think about and consider. I think everyone would benefit from reading this brilliant book.
Thanks Jo x
