- Tales of the Whirling Rainbow: Soul*Sparks
Tales of the Whirling Rainbow is a journalist's account of some of the key myths and mysteries of the Americas, and an electrifying exploration of how those myths are resounding in real time. Veteran journalist Steven McFadden weaves the living myths together seamlessly in a tightly written book that is eye-opening, and soul resonant. Drawn from sources both ancient and modern, Tales of the Whirling Rainbow conveys adroit insights into key facets of North America's unfolding saga. Learning to respect these knowings is fundamental to our spiritual growth and progress on the land going forward in time. McFadden tells the tales in plain, precise language, creating a quick but absorbing investigation into a deeply rooted mythos that offers keys to healing. As the Sun awakens and earth changes intensify, our human lives attain high velocity. At this time and in this manner, elders across Turtle Island (North America) told the author, the human beings who are the different colors and faiths of the world will be moved. This will create opportunities to heal their web of relationships.
- Classical Considerations: Soul*Sparks

Luminous and compellingly relevant, Finley's story leads readers into direct engagement with the fundamental wisdom questions of a fulfilled life. Classical Considerations is a small treasure--a true Soul*Spark--offering a compact but brilliantly lyrical array of intellectual scintillas to help kindle enduring knowledge.

In our transitional era of the 21st Century pilgrimage is also an essential spiritual deed. In a right and respectful manner, pilgrimage can help maintain the balance of our planet, our lands, our waters, our lives. A Primer for Pilgrims is a benevolent guide to personal spiritual growth, as well as to earth healing. It's also a collection of true stories about critical geospiritual actions in places near and far. A Primer for Pilgrims offers insight, excitement, adventure, inspiration, and further...
