Wisdom Calls: Transformative Ways for Insightful Living
Ebook
Wisdom’s call resounds within us, connecting us to a way of knowing that guides us through the diversities and transitions of our lives. This innate presence, central to our existence, is recognised in all ancient cultures and faiths, yet often disregarded in our busy world.
Through practical and creative ways we are encouraged to open to deeper insights into our everyday lives. Wisdom shows a way of healing, love, and care for ourselves and the earth. This poetic movement draws us into community and belonging.
Helen’s perspective, living in a therapeutic and educational community, highlights personal experiences of Wisdom’s emerging in a myriad of ways – through stories, poems and earthy prayerfulness, giving the book a uniqueness and supportive ideas for readers.
This is an intriguing study of ‘Wisdom’ which, as Helen Warwick remarks, ‘is not about knowing more but about knowing more deeply’. This book will appeal especially to those who are exploring their own spirituality and wanting to ‘widen their understanding of divinity’. It emphasizes the importance of contemplation, vulnerability and the role and value of community and dreams in dealing with suffering and loss. A wide-ranging bibliography and plenty of practical exercises reflect the skilful way in which Helen Warwick manages to blend the academic and the personal.

This inspiring book, grounded in psychological, theological and ecological thinking is filled with insight (drawn from experience) which is grounded in useful and readable practical, creative and embodied suggestions. Readers will delight in its earthy spirituality.
