About this listen

Karen Johnson's fast-paced professional life came to an abrupt halt when she lost her twenty-seven-year-old son to a heroin overdose. Rather than grieve in a way that made people around her comfortable, she did the unexpected. She retired, sold her house and all her household goods, and went on a two-and-a-half-year journey that took her all over the world, finding a spiritual practice along the way.Karen didn't think she could ever find her way out of despair, but she found a process that worked-a sacred journey and map-that she wants to share with others so they can heal too. This book is structured around practices that are part of the Four Winds Medicine Wheel as developed by Alberto Villoldo, Ph.D. Karen blends her personal story and meaningful experiences with each direction of the Medicine Wheel, offering exercises related to each of the four practices.Writes Karen, "I want you to know something really important. You may be feeling stuck in your grief and wondering why you can't seem to get over it. I felt the same way until I realized we do not get over grief. It's not like catching the - u; we aren't sick. There is no cure, and we can't medicate it away. Grief is a state of being that carries energy that you can tap into to create a new life. Just as we use the energy of other newly acquired states of being like marriage or parenthood to transform our lives, we can likewise use the energy of grieving to transform."This audio product contains a PDF with supporting material, and the PDF is available to download.

Critic reviews

“The owner’s manual for embracing grief with courage and transforming it into wisdom, to discover the ultimate and lasting gift of joy.”
— Alberto Villoldo PhD, bestselling author of Heart of the Shaman and One Spirit Medicine

“Karen Johnson has written a guide to grieving that reads like a hero’s journey tale. It is the story of her courageous and unlikely voyage from the life of a professional woman—a Fulbright scholar, a lawyer and judge—who finds herself heartbroken and unmoored by the death of her son. Who she was before his death, and who she becomes because of his death and her willingness to listen to the call of her son’s spirit, inspired me, awakened me, and reminded me to continually choose a bigger life. Whatever your loss—a loved one, a job, a sense of self—you too will find her story and guidance profoundly helpful and transformational.”
— Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder, Omega Institute and bestselling author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow, Cassandra Speaks, and other books
