Native American Joseph Rael shares visionary experiences and insights about the ceremonies of his people. He writes of the various aspects of ceremony -- sounds, chanting and song, fasting and sweatlodge purfication, the vision quest, traditional storytelling, the Sundance and all dancing in ceremony -- and shows how each of these connects us with Spirit. Rael shows how readers can construct powerful and inspiring ceremonies for themselves, ceremonies that bring them inspiration and insight, that help them grow into new states of being. , of Pueblan and Southern Ute descent grew up at Picuris Pueblo, among the Tiwa-speaking descendants of the Anasazi.
