`It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.' When visionary author Oriah Mountain Dreamer wrote her heartfelt 'Invitation' a couple of years ago, she did not expect it to travel by word-of-mouth and the internet across the globe, to be read at weddings, funerals and large spiritual gatherings. Now, in this inspiring book, the author expands on the ideas behind the poem to create a guidebook for living a life full of integrity, commitment and passion. In other words, this is a guidebook for 'getting real' - for leaving behind your facade and your illusions, and being fully in touch with your self (warts and all!) and with whatever is around you in the present moment. 139pp, 134mm x 204mm, softback, 1999
