Enter the Osage Forest of Peace ...The Divine Mother came to Fr. Bede Griffiths here where he found renewal in visions in his little cabin under the trees.Tibetan monks and nuns from the Dalai Lama's Dharamsala in India lived here for a while in community with American Benedictine Sisters and their Osage and Oklahoma neighbors.This is the story of how Sr. Pascaline Coff, BSPA, and her Sisters were inspired by Fr. Bede and the Second Vatican Council to build this centering place in the cross-timbered forests of Osage County, Oklahoma. Visiting here from around the world, luminaries of the Interspiritual Movement sat at table together with the Sisters and friends, then helped wash the dishes afterward. They were part of the unitive consciousness that is emerging to awaken humankind.There is something here at The Forest of Peace still that draws people of every faith (and of none) to find spiritual renewal. If your inner being hungers to deepen, there is sustenance here. Come to the Forest through these pages and read its story. Settle for a while in the famous chapel and sit where mystics have sat, in this beloved circle, sunken into the ancient Forest floor.

Psychiatrist and holistic & integrative physician, David Kopacz, and Native American Visionary, Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow), create a healing path to help our veterans suffering trauma and PTSD to come home. Even when out of the war zone, combat-readiness persists in the veterans' nervous system. This book uses the circular pathway of the medicine wheel to re-train that nervous system. Rather than viewing trauma, obstacles and disappointments as negatives, the medicine wheel offers a way of transforming these events into opportunities for personal growth. Walking the medicine wheel is walking a spiritual path - integrating body-emotion-mind-spirit, within the circle of the four directions. The book provides practical exercises of guided imagery and ceremony to help returning veterans feel they have a purpose and have something, not only of value, but, of critical importance to give to their families and their communities.

Native American elder, Joseph Rael (Beautiful Painted Arrow), shares his insights about the importance of ceremony. He explains the aspects of ceremony - Intention and commitment, purification, fasting, sound, drumming and dancing. He explains how each of these elements connects us with Spirit and shows us how to construct powerful ceremonies for ourselves and our community.

Their influence on the culture and history of North America has been immense. In "No Word for Time" we share the Algonquin world and experience with the author a sweat lodge, vision quest, ceremonial dances and the wise teachings of Algonquin elders.
