Journey to Eloheh

How Indigenous Values Lead Us to Harmony and Well-Being

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Discover the Harmony Way and learn ways of life that lead to true wholeness, well-being, and justice. We stand on a precipice, the future unknown. But Indigenous people carry forward the values that humans need to survive and thrive. In this riveting account of their own journeys toward deepening their indigeneity and embodying harmony, Edith Woodley, an activist-farmer and Eastern Shoshone tribal member, and Randy Woodley, author, wisdom-keeper, and Cherokee descendant recognized by the Keetoowah Band, guide us to the everyday practices of Eloheh. Eloheh is a Cherokee word meaning harmony and peace, and with it, we have a chance at building well-being and a sustainable culture. By learning the ten values of the Harmony Way, we can transform our worldviews and lifestyles for a more sustainable Earth, a just common life, and personal well-being. These ten values, held in common across at least forty-five Indigenous tribes and nations, are harmony, respect, accountability, history, humor, authenticity, equality, friendship, generosity, and balance. In Journey to Eloheh, Randy and Edith Woodley generously share their life experiences, values, and practices to demonstrate how the values of the Harmony Way, of Eloheh, have been and continue to be embodied and celebrated. Together, we can convert to another way of living--one that recognizes the Earth as sacred, sees all creation as related, and offers ancestral values as a way forward to a shared future.
