Soul Medicine for a Fractured World: Healing, Justice, and the Path of Wholeness

"Wise and beautiful, an offering of great depth."--Alice Walker, author, The Color Purple and In Search of Our Mothers' Gardens

"This is a book for our time, a treasure trove of good medicine for the soul." --Parker Palmer

Each day brings news of worsening ecological, political, and social upheaval. None of us individually can solve the intersecting crises we face; we are not meant to. Yet each of us carries a vital gift for these times. As we navigate the collapse of a world built on domination and division, we can engage in the birthing of new possibilities, finding strength in our belonging to a wholeness that is ancient, infinite, and eternal.

Combining the insightful analysis of a longtime grassroots activist with the compassion of a seasoned spiritual guide, Liza J. Rankow shows readers how to live with purpose and meaning, not just in spite of the rising tide of calamities around us, but as our response to them.

With an approach to liberation inspired by "mystic activists" from various faith and cultural traditions, Soul Medicine for a Fractured World offers an integrative path toward healing and social transformation, rooted in our kinship with one another, the Earth, and all of life.

Rich with practical application, the book includes questions for reflection as well as an array of spiritual and healing practices to help readers put the ideas shared into embodied action.
