In 1994 a Siberian elder told the entrepreneur Vladimir Megre a fascinating story about the "ringing cedars" - trees respected from Biblical times for their curative powers and the capacity to re-connect human beings with the Divine.  Vladimir set out on an expedition to find the tree.  But his encounter with the elder's granddaughter Anastasia transformed him so deeply that he abandoned his commercial plans and, penniless, went to Moscow to write a book about the spiritual insights she shared with him.  With no advertisement other than word of mouth the Ringing Cedars Series has become an international bestseller, selling over 10 million copies in Russia alone.


"If you only read one more book in your life... read Anastasia." Duncan Roads - Publisher and Editor of NEXUS

Ringing Cedars of Russia: book 2 of The Ringing Cedars Series
by Vladimir Megre
 
"The Ringing Cedars Series will impact a new generation of readers, like the works of Carlos Castaneda did for a previous generation - only this time through awakening the latent spiritual connection each of us has with nature.  This is not about a walk in the woods, rather these books catapult us to an entirely new way of being on planet Earth."  $14.95
- Steven Foster, author of A Field Guide to Medicinal Plants and Herbs

Co-creation: book 4 of The Ringing Cedars Series
by Vladimir Megre
 
Co-creation paints a dramatic living image of the creation of the Universe and humanity's place in this creation, making this primordial mystery relevant to our everyday living today.  Deeply metaphysical yet at the same time down-to-Earth practical, this poetic heartfelt volume helps us uncover answers to the most significant question about the essence of the Universe and the purpose of our existence.  It also shows how and why the knowledge of these answers, innate in every human being, has become obscured and forgotten, and points the way toward reclaiming this wisdom in partnership with Nature.  $14.95

Who Are We? book 5 of The Ringing Cedars Series
by Vladimir Megre
 
Who Are We? describes the author's search for real-life 'proofs' of Anastasia's vision presented in the  previous volumes.  Finding these proofs and taking  stock of ongoing global environmental destruction, Vladimir Megre describes further practical steps for putting Anastasia's vision into practice.  Full of beautiful realistic images of a new way of living in co-operation with the Earth and each other, this book also highlights the role of children in making us aware of the precariousness of the present situation and in leading the global transition toward a happy, violence-free society.  $14.95

Teresa of Avila: the book of my life (5 CD's)
translated by Mirabai Starr
 
Teresa of Ávila (1515–1582), the Spanish Carmelite nun and mystic, is one of the most beloved figures of the Catholic faith—with a broad appeal among Christians and non-Christians alike. Her texts of spiritual instruction—such as The Interior Castle and The Way of Perfection—balance mysticism with a kind of amiable practicality and are perennial classics. Her spiritual autobiography, which she called “The Book of My Life,” was written at the height of her influence and at the direction of the infamous Spanish Inquisition, to spell out her teaching for them. Teresa’s autobiography includes her lively early life (she was the last person anyone would have expected to become a nun), her first halfhearted attempts at monastic life, and her eventual conversion to an existence consumed with passion for God. She goes on to talk of her visionary experiences and offers insightful interpretations of them. Teresa of Ávila is a remarkable record of someone struggling to put words to the ineffable—and it is imbued with Teresa’s great and generous spirit.  $34.95

Tibetan Buddhist Goddess Altars: a pop-up gallery of traditional art and wisdom
by Robert Beer
 
The home altar has become an increasingly popular tool for contemporary seekers, allowing them to tap their spirituality informally, at any time of the day. This charming book puts a new twist on the phenomenon by showcasing female Buddhist deities in a delightfully unusual format. Designed to resemble a Tibetan temple, the book presents stunning three-dimensional renderings of traditional thangka paintings. It features doors that open from the middle of the front cover, a sturdy tab-insert closure, and elastic loops to hold each altar firmly in place. Four important goddesses appear here. White Tara pacifies illness and removes obstacles; Vanshudara increases prosperity, fertility, and happiness; Kurukulla helps attract and influence through the power of love and desire; and Vajrayogini aids in developing the enlightened union of Great Bliss and Emptiness. With the assistance of these colorful altars and an informative text about the symbolic art, visualization can blossom into multidimensional meditation.  $23.95

Rainbows and Bridges: an animal companion memorial kit
by Allen and Linda Anderson
 
The loss of a pet companion can be as devastating as the death of a human loved one. Rainbows and Bridges offers an array of thoughtful ways to deal with that loss. Featuring inspirational ideas, exercises, and quotations, this kit includes a frame for the photo of a beloved pet; a detailed guidebook to work through the sorrow and grief attendant on this event; a journal/scrapbook to celebrate the pet's life; and cards to facilitate religious, secular, or nature-based memorial rituals and healing.

They candidly recount their own experiences with pet loss and present the experiences of others who have struggled and recovered. Rainbows and Bridges gently guides the bereaved through the process of recalling the past, grieving in the present, and finding hope in the future. $24.95
