In our soulless, Covid-ravaged world, beautifully written books on Soul like this one are an enormous blessing. Benig is not only a poet, shaman and mystic, but also a healer, analyst and transpersonal visionary, and thus great wisdom flows through every page. Indeed, she takes the reader deep into the psyche to explore universal human experiences such as the dark night of the soul and particularly what is required to live an authentic and whole life in these very precarious times.The second part explores the existence of what Benig calls "healing rooms". One room helps us confront and heal the many wounds in our hearts that prevent our soul life coming into its own, another room, the "birth room" helps women heal traumatic birth experiences, while the 'life room' offers us advice as to how to live with grace and integrity. This important book is not only a must read for all therapists seeking to expand the range of the way they work and see the world, but it is also important for the person in the street in need of guidelines to help them live with greater depth and joy and who wish to make the shift from being part of the problems in the world, to being part of their solution. A tour de force.
