The Great Search

Celtic wisdom is built on a strong bond with Earth. In the prophetic figures that Newell draws from, the Garden of Eden represents the inner garden of our souls and the outer garden of Earth, which are seen as essentially one. To live in relation to what is deepest in us is to live in relation to the ground from which we and all things have come. Where are we today, in relation to our true selves and the sacredness of Earth? And how are we to find our way home again?

This life-affirming, nourishing book contemplates these questions at a moment of great spiritual awakening, an era characterized by religious exile on a vast scale. We need a new sense of home spiritually, deeply rooted within ourselves and in our shared journey with each other and Earth.

“The cherished song of Immanuel that has echoed down through the centuries within the walls of Christianity needs now to be sung clearly and emphatically as a song of the immanence of the divine in all things, pointing not simply to the divine with us in one person, one place, and one time but to the divine within us in every person, every place, and every time.”
