Synopsis:

"The creative process," Oriah Mountain Dreamer says, "is essential to human nature." It is essential as spirituality and sexuality, and in fact all three are deeply intertwined. What We Ache For (taken from the second line of the poem, The Invitation) is a practical book allowing readers to embrace the urgency and necessity of their creativity - whether their medium is painting, sculpture, dance, or music. Oriah's passion is writing, and it is that talent that informs the book and its exercises - but the exercises provide readers with a new way to approach their own passions. Following Oriah through this journey, readers learn how to fully embrace their artistic selves as well as forging a new spiritual path. What We Ache For is the practical thread that ties all of Oriah's previous work together - and allows reader to fully participate in an inspiring and revelatory way.
