    2018 NAUTILUS AWARD WINNER

    Has an unfair past yielded years of endless anguish? Discover ancient traditions that will teach you to live a brighter future.

    Does your life seem rife with injustice? Have you ever noticed that sometimes seeking out justice only leads to more suffering? Are you searching for a less destructive path to fulfillment? Bestselling author Jarem Sawatsky has travelled the world to find a better way. After spending extensive time studying communities that practice healing justice, he’s ready to share these joyful teachings with you.

    Healing Justice: Stories of Wisdom and Love combines research, storytelling, and honest observations to challenge the outdated notion that justice requires trading an eye for an eye. Sawatsky immersed himself in communities in Canada, Scotland, and France that employ little-known practices to transform suffering into wellness. By sharing the teachings of the lotus, the eagle feather, and the Celtic knot, the author lights the path in your journey toward regaining your wholeness.

    In Healing Justice, you’ll discover:

    ★   Practical steps to turn pain and suffering into positivity

    ★   The relationships necessary to support holistic inner healing

    ★   The alternatives to violence, vengeance, and shame when seeking justice

    ★   How to incline your life toward a healthier future

    ★   Observations from a Nobel Peace Prize nominated author, and much, much more!

    Healing Justice is an inspirational guide for adapting a painful past into a restorative future.

    If you like the works of Anne Lamott, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Brené Brown, then you’ll love Jarem Sawatsky’s groundbreaking guide about returning to a life of joy.
