DANCING WITH ELEPHANTS –Mindfulness Training for Those Living with Dementia, Chronic Illness or an Aging Brain
How to live life to the fullest in the face of traumatic illness
There are countless guides for those climbing the ladder, caring for the ill, and healing the curable, but what about those of us who are not on the ladder, or curable? How can we flourish? What do you do when life throws curveballs? Dancing with Elephants is the first book in Jarem Sawatsky’s book series A More Healing Way. This book is based in part on this blog.
SPIRIT OF HEALING JUSTICE
What is healing justice? Who practices it? What does it look like? In this book Jarem Sawatsky examines the stories of three traditional communities said to practice healing justice: Hollow Water – an Aboriginal and Métis community in Canada; the Iona Community – a dispersed Christian ecumenical community in Scotland; and Plum Village – a Vietnamese initiated Buddhist community in southern France, and home to Nobel Peace Prize nominated author, Thich Nhat Hanh.
A GUIDE TO RESTORATIVE JUSTICE AND PEACEBUILDING
Drawing on the imaginations of some leading peace and restorative justice practitioners, this Guide to Restorative Justice and Peacebuilding identifies components of a justpeace imagination–the basis of an alternative ethics -where the end is touched with each step. Sawatsky offers practical examples of how analysis, intervention, and evaluation can be rooted in a justpeace imagination.
I hope you enjoyed the books. Keep reading and I’ll keep writing. Share as you see fit.
Blessings on the journey,
Jarem
