This coloring book is a gentle introduction to nature-based spirituality, shamanism and earth medicine practices for young (and young at heart) artists. Coloring can encourage a relaxed, mindful state of awareness, and this is combined with imagery visioning a more simplistic, ancient way of being close to Earth Mother - Dreaming our world into Being.

From the Artist-Author :

“I have always believed…… To create the beautiful new world we say we want, we must begin with the children - guiding, encouraging and nurturing them in ways that honor and respect the Earth and all beings. My wish is that this book will be a living prayer to manifest this vision into reality”.

Reviews:

- Lynn V Andrews, New York Times best selling Author of the Medicine Woman Series

“Catherine Athena’s coloring book for children is a remarkable inspiration. In her fantastic imagination and effort she has created a bridge between ancient shamanic works and the abstract mind of a child. Through the abstract practice of coloring a figure she has demonstrated how energy can manifest into form. I can not imagine a finer explanation or process for educating the creative and innocent minds of today’s children.”

-Jonathan Horwitz, Scandinavian Center for Shamanic Studies.

“When I was a child, I knew the world was alive - everything! But this knowledge wasn't supported. Not only did I talk with the family dogs, trees invited me to climb them, seashells brought the messages from the ocean, birds showed me paths in the woods, stones had secret power, the clouds showed me pictures and creeks took me to faraway places, while dragonflies told me secrets. Where was this shamanic coloring book when I was a kid? But that doesn't matter - what matters is Spirits of Nature is here now, touching that spiritual essence in every child. Shamanic artist, Catherine Athena Louise, knows that the natural wisdom of children needs to be supported - especially in this world of hyper technological development, and that is exactly what this shamanic coloring book does. Each of the drawings encourages a deeper connection with nature. And who knows? Perhaps, some of the magic will rub off on parents as well!”

-WindEagle Kinney-Linton, co-author of Heart Seeds, A Message from the Ancestors, Founding Director of Ehama Institute and the World Foundation for the Discipline of Peace.

“This book is a gem. Welcome into the world of magic, the natural world. Here the author plants seeds of wonder and meaning into young hearts, awakening curiosity, beauty and connection”.

-Chris Lüttichau, Author of Calling Us Home, and Spirit Animal Guides.

“The shamanic coloring book, Spirits of Nature, speaks directly to the hearts of children (and the inner child in adults) in a way that can help them deepen their connection to the magical world of nature and spirit. It encourages and allows children to use their natural connection to the spiritual reality in a free and creative way. This book can help children keep their curiosity, their sense of adventure, and their sense of awe and wonder alive in today's world”.

-Renee Baribeau, Award Winning Hay House Author of Winds of Spirit.

“This is a wonderful coloring book for your child or for your inner child to get you more connected to nature and everyday ceremony. I love it!”

-Marlise Wabun Wind, co-author of Dancing with the WheelThe Medicine Wheel Workbook (A Sun Bear Book), The Medicine Wheel Earth Astrology, Bear Tribe's Self Reliance Book, Dreaming with the Wheel and Black Dawn, Bright Day.

“I love the philosophy you express in your beautiful coloring book. It is so important that we do work with the children, helping them to understand and feel a part of their natural world. I very much appreciate your contribution to doing that in such a creative and inspiring way. Spirits of Nature is a book for children of all ages to share and enjoy”.

-’Kaypacha’ Tom Lescher, Shamanic Astrologer, creator of the popular 'Pele Report' weekly astrological forecast and New Paradigm Astrology.

“Mother Nature is such a wellspring of nourishing light and love to all parts of our being! She forever reminds us of the magical mystery of life, its eternal nature, and continuous support. Particularly through these troubled times, she remains a constant source of renewal, peace, and beauty. In her book, Spirits of Nature, Catherine Athena is offering us all, both children and adults, an opportunity to reconnect with not only Mother Nature but our Soul. It is such a beautiful reminder of simple yet shamanic practices we can do each day to build a stronger bond with Gaia and ourselves. I can't wait to pull out my crayons again and know you will find sweetness within these pages yourself. Thanks for all you do, Catherine Athena! Blessings! So Much Love”.

-Catherine Just, Conceptual Artist, Toltec Nagual.

“What a beautiful coloring book! I love everything about it and can’t wait to color in it myself and with my son Max! This is a great introduction into the shamanic way of life. I think every child could benefit from the creative expression intertwined with learning shamanic practices”.

This 'any-year' calendar book that can be enjoyed as a visual reflection point and inspirational spiritual travel memoir at any time of year, in any year you choose. We love sustainable, renewable, reusable items and hope you will reuse this book again and again over several (or many) years, if you enjoyed the photographs and affirmations we share within it.

We chose 'perfect bound' flexible glue binding so that this book is more durable, sturdy and should last longer. To hang this calendar-book on the wall, you may need to hand flatten the book along the spine across the open pages so that it lies as flat as possible, and then make a small hole with a push-pin or drawing pin along the top centre page edge.
