TEENS / SELF-HELP "This book describes many ways to create peace and happiness, some on your own and some with your friends." --His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama "In an attempt to provide you with authentic containers for the tumultuous energy of the Thundering Years, many are rediscovering indigenous ways. The call to awaken our ancestral wisdom is strong. Personal and community rituals are ways of reuniting us when we are in a state of alienation and turmoil with Spirit." --Sobonfu Some, African shaman, from chapter 5 According to native traditions, the Thundering Years are the time in life to listen to intense feelings, dreams, desires, and goals--to be outrageous and even difficult.
