When Jennifer Monahan began her journey into a new way of living, she left her successful career in corporate America, gave up her enviable apartment and most of her belongings to spend time in Mexico learning Shamanism. Her courage led to Guatemala where she explored ancients ruins and lived with locals. Not satisfied that her gypsy ways were complete, Monahan again left everything for one year on the road, following her heart's trail around the globe. She advises us to "remember: everything is impermanent." Listen in for more insight and wisdom from this remarkable woman, teacher, shaman and compassionate human being.

Irene Allison compiled many of the stories of her mother, and of her own work, into this beautiful book. Listen in as Irene Allison speaks to this most important topic of compassionate care.
