Elizabeth Bast's writing is so compelling, so present! What a gift she is giving the world with her experience and her exquisite writing. It's the best kind of modern love story: passionate lovers, spiritual awakening, urban addictions, and the rising power of shamanism and plant medicine to help individuals, couples and families step into a new, more enlivened and powerful paradigm of relating. It's not only a fascinating read, it has the power to be a vehicle of healing for so many. There are so many folks right now on prescription medication or addicted to drugs (or hey, even playing Sudoku) who are seeking relief from suffering. This is the perfect story to get through to them. And also for those who are already more aware, what an amazing reminder of what is possible and how to realign with what we know to be true. I'm so heartened to know that her story offers true solutions to modern ailments and is now available to the world at large. It's going to grab people and give them a healing just as they read it." - Bella Shing, Award-Winning Writer, Director, & Founder of Sweeter Media<br>
