Synopsis

Come join the astonishing, mystical and inspiring journey of one man as he experiences near-death adventures in the wilderness and ecstatic awakenings in consciousness while seeking the wisdom he needs to become a true healer, a shaman. From his deeply personal and honest recounting of his early life as a gypsy on the roads, railways and wilderness of America in the early 70’s, and through his later years as a highly sought-out Healing Friend and teacher, Peter’s story describes a path of liberation and healing that calls every heart to passionate participation in a sacred life where anyone can choose to live and be “absolutely and utterly free.”

About this title

About the Author:

Peter Churchill has served the healing empowerment of more than forty thousand people, taught medical students and physicians at Harvard Medical School for ten years, appeared on public television in the PBS documentary Body and Soul, and now focuses primarily on serving the well-being of infants, children, teenagers, and men and women who are suffering from chronic pain or who are at a crossroads of spiritual crisis in their lives. He also offers advanced trainings and apprenticeships to small groups in select locations around the world. Peter is a Healing Friend who has devoted his life to the manifestation of a sacred vision of authentic spirituality, medicine and healing. The essence of his approach is founded in the establishment of a Sacred Healing Partnership with others that is fundamentally about the empowerment of each person. A simplicity of presence, life-force, love, and skillful means are the elements used to create what he calls the Shaman’s Empowerment to help others reclaim their own power, health, and freedom. As a young man Peter lived and journeyed alone in the wilderness of North America for a number of years, and then in 1975 at the age of twenty-one was initiated into a fifteen year apprenticeship by an American spiritual master. He went on from there to develop the unique form of meditation, healing, and a heart-centered life chronicled in this book. Peter resides with his wife and three children on a small farm in Boulder, Colorado, quietly living the way described in The Way Lightning Splits the Sky, crafting each day as an expression of gratitude, healing and happiness.
