I was first introduced to Angeles Arrien when I started my training in vibrational healing. It was a goal of the school director and myself to attend a workshop by this amazing woman. I am sad to say it never happened. However, through her books and tapes, I have experienced her teachings.
Angeles Arrien was a cultural anthropologist, award-winning author and speaker. She developed through her books and workshops practices using the cross-cultural components of leadership and communication skills, creative problem-solving, health care, and education.
Her book, The Four-Fold Way: Walking the Paths of the Warrior, Teacher, Healer and Visionary gave me the following archetypes to study.
Another Inspiring Woman we will truly miss. Thank you Angeles Arrien for being such a bright light and leader.
“In the sweet territory of silence we touch the mystery.
It’s the place of reflection and contemplation,
and it’s the place where we can connect with the deep knowing,
to the deep wisdom way.” ~ Angeles Arrien
I am excited to be highlighting Angeles Arrien’s book, Living in Gratitude a Journey That Will Change Your Life, in ‘Feature Posts’ on the Welcome Page each month of 2013. Riane Eisler, author of The Chalice and the Blade, Sacred Pleasure, and the Real Wealth of Nations, writes “In Living in Gratitude, Angeles Arrien once again gives us a treasury of wisdom and practical tools. Written with her trademark flair and love, this is a transformative book of month-by-month reflections and practices that effectively shows us how to integrate the healing of gratitude into every day of our lives.” The author writes there are four Universal Portals to Gratitude: Blessings, Learnings, Mercies and Protections. These portals will be explored as each monthly chapter presents a theme that examines universal, cross-cultural, and perennial wisdoms related to the cultivation of gratitude. Thank you, Angeles Arrien for being such a gifted teacher.
Today may we appreciate this food, and remember those who are hungry.
