Book Description
Popular Sufism of Eastern Europe examines aspects of popular Sufism among selected societies in Eastern Europe, past and present. Muslims - whether they are descended from Asian invaders (Cumans, Turks and Tatars), or are converted Slavs (Bonjaks and Pomaks) or Illyrians (Albanians) - have left a deep mark on the popular culture of Eastern Europe. They too have been influenced by Christianity and by pre-Christian religions. Many have sustained contact with fellow believers in the Muslim heartland of the Middle East, especially through the annual Meccan pilgrimage. Sufi life in Eastern Europe derives its strength from a number of sources including the Volga, the Southern steppes of Russia and the Balkan countries, where Islam is either the prevailing religion (as in Albania or Kosovo), or is of major significance (as in Bulgaria, Macedonia and Bosnia). Sufism, at every level and in every form amongst these Muslim peoples, is discussed. ... Read more

Book Description
Intriguingly crafted, this book takes you on a journey through time, self and nature that will leave you reeling in inspiration.A uniquely creative blend of spirituality, ecology and psychology, Stewards of Spirit walks you through a three-step process to awaken to your authenticity.The process, illustrated through an intuitively-inspired case study of the life of a 19th century woman, is based on the ecopsychological premise that humans' well-being is inextricably linked to nature.We can, therefore, look to the planet as a model for the fulfillment of our own individual potential.At the heart of this experience are Rachel's Ballads. While ensconced in these freestyle, lyrical writings, you will feel as though you are at a play where each new act builds upon the last culminating in a shocking finale that carries you back to an historic event that shook the world and to this day still captures our hearts and imaginations.Throughout, Ellis seamlessly weaves the notions of spirituality and self-development into the world of ecology demonstrating that nature offers us a route to awakening in direct contrast to our usual dichotomous approach that pits the "spirit self" against the ego or "false self."Whether you are seeking an experience that could change your approach to life or simply in the mood for an exceptional read, this book will surely fulfill your expectations.Mother, artist and educator, Gianetta Ellis is deeply passionate about the preservation of spirit and its role in the human relationship to Earth.A life-long student of religion, she integrates theologic and spiritual notions regarding "eco-accountability" and stewardship to her writing.She is a Vermont Law School graduate with a successful environmental career spanning two decades.In both the public and private sectors, she has developed policy for and managed such diverse issues as:habitat conservation, pollution prevention, hazardous waste abatement, and watershed health.She is the creator and owner of stewARTship studios where she "incorporates art to stewardship" by using various fine art forms as a means for students to build enduring connections to self and nature.Whether teaching under-graduates at the University of Pittsburgh or engaging school children in experiential nature-study programs, Gianetta is a dedicated professional who brings a uniquely creative and holistic approach to learning. ...

Loved This Book
There is such beauty to be found in this book - from its reverence for the "self" to the connection it makes between the self and the earth.Particularly stirring and beautiful are Rachel's Ballads.I love the story of this woman.I felt as though I were in her skin.I sensed the way her body moved, the way she spoke, the feel of her home, and even the smells of nature as she walked outside along a close-by stream.This is an heirloom quality book.

Wonderful Read
Rather than a detailed review of this smart and creative book, please allow me to relay my thoughts with one expression . . . Wow!

Feelings Brought to Light
Thank you, Gianetta Ellis, for your inspirational book.Your words have confirmed how I have always felt regarding "Universal Oneness".Finding ones niche and harmony in life is essential for finding inner peace.Rachel's Ballads has brought that all together and is truly inspiring."I'll Meet You On The Trail", brought tears to my eyes but not of sadness.Thank you, again, you have touched my heart forever. ~

New & Creative Approach to Ecopsychology
I have been a long time fan of Theodore Roszak and other pioneers in the field of ecopsychology.When I received Stewards of Spirit, I was immediately taken by the author's new and creative approach to demonstrating the connection between the human psyche and nature.This is a very artistic book and it stretches the edges of ecopsychology in very interesting ways.It is not a book based "on" ecopsychology, but "within" it.Further, it is not a book based "on" art, but it is a book "of" art.I appreciate Ellis' effort to use art and creativity as a means to demonstrating the human link to nature as much as I appreciate her insight to using nature as a "model" in our quest for self-fulfillment.The only caveat I would offer to prospective readers is to be patient while reading through the ballads.Everything nicely comes together in the epilogue.And, when you've finished reading the book and can take it all in holistically, you're left feeling "clean" and inspired.

An Expression of my Beliefs
I have always tried to express my connection with nature, particularly the role animals play in my life.Gianetta was able to capture my innermost thoughts and feelings regarding the importance of interacting with nature and allowing it to guide and teach us.Rachel's Ballads take you on a unique journey through the impressions of a woman, who through tragedy, learns to live her life with an enhanced connection to nature.She opens herself to the possibility that nature can help heal tragic wounds and will protect her as she lives her simple, serene life to its fullest potential. ...
