"This is a passionate call to all of us. It clearly reminds us how
we all have responsibility for healing our fractured society and
building a better world. It is both inspiring and reassuring in
its wise message."

....William Bloom, author of The Endorphin Effect: A
Breakthrough Strategy for Holistic Health and Spiritual
Wellbeing and Soulution, The Holistic Manifesto.

"In this book Eleanor Stoneham points to the central role of
spirituality in healing the human condition in our troubled
times. Nothing is more important if we are to have hope for a
dignified future, come what may in the come-to-pass."

....Alastair McIntosh, scholar, activist, Visiting Professor of
Human Ecology at the University of Strathclyde, author of
Soil and Soul and Hell and High Water.

"Interweaving environmental and social history with the roots
of medicine, Dr Stoneham presents a provocative and
refreshing kaleidoscope of possibilities. She shows how the
spiritual, emotional and physical aspects of our humanity can
find a new creative synthesis. Her clear visionary prose sings
to the reader, inviting us on a journey of discovery through
both the darkest corners of our psyche, and the most sublime
hope that can emerge from bodies resonating with nature and
spirit. She paints an inspiring picture of a possible future in
which the soul takes its rightful place at the core of healing."

....Dawson Church PhD, Best-selling author of "The Genie in
Your Genes."

"From many wisdom traditions, a key teaching is that our
wounds make us whole. This paradoxical lesson has almost
been forgotten in our age, in which the emphasis is on
manipulation, power, control, and perfection. In this book
Eleanor Stoneham shows that our hopes and plans for
survival may depend on re-learning the lesson of the
Wounded Healer, in which woundedness leads to the wisdom
and humility that are required in meeting the challenges we
face as individuals, as a species, and as a planet."

....Larry Dossey MD, author of Healing Words and The Power
of Premonitions.

"Passionate and fiercely intelligent, (this book) is a wake-up
call for us all to engage actively, courageously and responsibly
in the healing of our fractured world.
Again and again, the author spells out her vital, central
message - that it is our own behavior as individuals, not the
intervention of governments, which will provide that healing
(and she) charts a clear path … showing how we can all be
part of a great global healing in this new era of
consciousness."

....Barry Cottrell, artist, engraver, author of The Way Beyond
the Shaman: Birthing a New Earth Consciousness

"We have entered into a new era of transformation, perhaps
the most significant one in the history of humanity…This
lovely book puts us in touch with healing principles of
spirituality and compassion throughout our lives, so that we
may all become catalysts for social change… with all of our
hearts and minds and souls…."

....Paul H. Ray, Ph.D., anthropologist and sociologist,
co-author of The Cultural Creatives - How 50 Million People
are changing the World.

"I can endorse your book wholeheartedly. The concept of the
Wounded Healer resonates very much with me as an
outsider/insider in European culture. Our world needs healing
and that process has now begun; but the ultimate
'inconvenient truth' is that the outer environment reflects the
inner. There must be change in the mindset - if we hope to
bring about change we must first change within, heal
ourselves; and this holds true for the individual as well as for
society."

....The late Cy Grant, author of Blackness and the Dreaming
Soul.

"This is an intriguing and thoughtful read...written in a
straight-forward and engaging manner, with a gentle but
confident tone..."
