Where Wonder Lives

This book explores nine stages on an imaginary map which invites us to go where we’ve never been, to pick up where we left off, or simply to rekindle the joy of being here. With mindfulness and meditation practices, exercises for transforming your worries and a guide to creating your own rites and ceremonies. 

Where Wonder Lives offers us an imaginary map of nine stages. At each stage, we discover practices for exploring the essential dimensions of life. All are born of the same intuition: if mystery exists, it is present everywhere; if love is our true nature, we do not need to go out looking for it, but instead we must learn to be silent and let it blossom.  

The map of wonder invites us to go where we’ve never been, to pick up where we left off, or simply to rekindle the joy of being here, sharing the journey. There is no reward at the end of the road; the reward is in taking each step. And that’s what it is about: awakening the senses, breathing deeply, falling madly in love with the bounties of the natural world. And, like kind-hearted pirates, giving back the treasure we set out to find.
