While many are busy working out solutions to the crises we are facing on this beautiful planet, Vicki Burke, author and musician, throws light on our past so that we can choose a better future.
In Beauty in the Beast our journey from the Garden of Eden is reimagined as a pilgrimage into the labyrinth, the Hero's Journey. We are on a quest to heal our feelings of disconnection, shame and judgement, to return home to a way of living, steeped in love and kindness. The Minotaur, a creature, half-human, half-beast, who represents the shadow, the aspects of life we are too frightened to face, is our guide.
Reflecting on her own life story and her arrival at the Somerset town of Frome, Vicki Burke, goes in search of personal reconciliation. Turning activist and playwright, she discovers the collective trauma in her Jewish ancestral line, buried deep in her body.
She begins to understand the inner conflict that has brought us to this critical moment and considers the choices we might make, possible extinction or the shift that many have prophesied and longed for?
This book will enthral all soul travellers, the seasoned and those taking their first steps, with its enchanting story-telling and profound insights.
