Manual for the Peacemaker: An Iroquois Legend to Heal Self & Society Jean Houston with Margaret Rubin
"Eloquent. A story that blends historical fact with potent myth. All will be fascinated with the hero whose vision of a peaceful society became reality. Insightful techniques that apply to individuals as well as to political systems." --Publishers Weekly
"Houston weaves the many layers this tale has to offer in and out of our own psychic landscape with great skill, illuminating both the Native American and the modern psyche with depth and complexity." --Perspective, Association For Humanistic Psychology Review
"A fascinating read. Also an indictment of American history that has all but ignored the debt our republic owes to Native American insight and courage. Ingenious experiential exercises using drama, journal writing, storytelling, music, and other artful activities. A model for discovering a new peace and a new mind." --Magical Blend
Master Storyteller Jean Houston tells the stirring tale of the legendary Iroquois peacemaker who inspired the founders of American democracy. Houston's path-breaking techniques help make each event of the story an opportunity for us to make peace with ourselves and for our world.
