Product Description
Turn your recreation in the snow into a spiritual high point!“Activities that are exhilarating and fun are not usually thought of as spiritual. But to the contrary, such ventures may well point us to our most profound spiritual connections. For when we are able to come fully into the present moment, turn off the noise in our minds, feel our true essence as complete union of body-mind-spirit, we enter into a kind of ‘other worldly’ state of ecstasy that we can experience only as a spiritual dimension.”—from Chapter 1Debunking the myth that your body has nothing to do with your spiritual life, avid winter sports enthusiasts Dr. Marcia McFee and Rev. Karen Foster demonstrate how spirituality is fed by play and challenge and how your snow-filled adventures can serve as a set of metaphors for seeing life’s ups and downs as part of a sacred rhythm.Whether you have a need for speed or are drawn toward more lyrical motion, McFee and Foster offer poignant insights on how you can find your peak spiritual life in your favorite snow sport, no matter your skill level. Learn how to:• Reduce stress and embrace your need for fun• Achieve harmonious integration of mind, body, and spirit• Trust your body’s inherent wisdom• Appreciate the details in nature and everyday life• Clear your head and persevere in difficult times• Cultivate a sense of community. Dr. Marcia McFee, an avid skier, is a national speaker and consultant to churches on spirituality, arts, and worship.Rev. Karen Foster, an avid snowboarder, is a teacher of spirituality, retreat leader, and pastor.

Excellent Even if You Aren't a Skier, Nov 9 2009
By Colleen Murphy - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Spiritual Adventures in the Snow: Skiing & Snowboarding as Renewal for Your Soul (Paperback)
With insights from each of the two authors' experiences in the snow, interviews entitled "Conversation with an Adventurer" in each chapter and more, this book is like yoga for your soul: both relaxing and invigorating. I'm not much of a skier, but loved the descriptions of nature and suggestions for integrating body, mind and spirit and found it applicable to my life nonetheless. Highly recommended!
