ANCIENT SPIRIT RISING
Book Club Study Guide
Ancient Spirit Rising was written as an inquiry into the various ideas and actions we take for granted in today’s world of diverse spiritual paths and practices. For many of us, and within our own circles and movements, some of these issues are being talked about for the first time. As an author and life-long learner, it is my pleasure to offer a 5-part Study Guide for individual readers and book clubs, as a way to delve into the themes and new directions found within the pages of Ancient Spirit Rising. For online gatherings and book clubs, I can facilitate the Study Guide by request through a series of complementary two-hour Zoom webinars. The Ancient Spirit Rising Study Guide is a guideline for telling your own stories, discussing difficult issues in a warm and supportive environment, looking at the journey ahead, and asking important questions. How you, your book club or group use the questions, prompts and dialogues is entirely up to you – please engage at your own pace and in your own way. PEGI EYERS

"For anyone who has awoken to the fact that this modern neo-capitalist culture has forgotten something profound and vital, please check out Pegi's work. It is a deep call for those of us whose ancestors are
not from Turtle Island to return to a different way of relating to each another and the land."
