Product Description
Product Description
Intriguingly crafted, this book takes you on a journey through time, self and nature that will leave you reeling in inspiration. A uniquely creative blend of spirituality, ecology and psychology, Stewards of Spirit walks you through a three-step process to awaken to your authenticity. The process, illustrated through an intuitively-inspired case study of the life of a 19th century woman, is based on the ecopsychological premise that humans' well-being is inextricably linked to nature. We can, therefore, look to the planet as a model for the fulfillment of our own individual potential. At the heart of this experience are Rachel's Ballads. While ensconced in these freestyle, lyrical writings, you will feel as though you are at a play where each new act builds upon the last culminating in a shocking finale that carries you back to an historic event that shook the world and to this day still captures our hearts and imaginations. Throughout, Ellis seamlessly weaves the notions of spirituality and self-development into the world of ecology demonstrating that nature offers us a route to awakening in direct contrast to our usual dichotomous approach that pits the "spirit self" against the ego or "false self." Whether you are seeking an experience that could change your approach to life or simply in the mood for an exceptional read, this book will surely fulfill your expectations. Mother, artist and educator, Gianetta Ellis is deeply passionate about the preservation of spirit and its role in the human relationship to Earth. A life-long student of religion, she integrates theologic and spiritual notions regarding "eco-accountability" and stewardship to her writing. She is a Vermont Law School graduate with a successful environmental career spanning two decades. In both the public and private sectors, she has developed policy for and managed such diverse issues as: habitat conservation, pollution prevention, hazardous waste abatement, and watershed health. She is the creator and owner of stewARTship studios where she "incorporates art to stewardship" by using various fine art forms as a means for students to build enduring connections to self and nature. Whether teaching under-graduates at the University of Pittsburgh or engaging school children in experiential nature-study programs, Gianetta is a dedicated professional who brings a uniquely creative and holistic approach to learning.

Feelings Brought to Light, Oct 5 2007
By JoAnn Denman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stewards of Spirit: Awakening in the Light of Rachel's Ballads (Paperback)
Thank you, Gianetta Ellis, for your inspirational book. Your words have confirmed how I have always felt regarding "Universal Oneness". Finding ones niche and harmony in life is essential for finding inner peace. Rachel's Ballads has brought that all together and is truly inspiring. "I'll Meet You On The Trail", brought tears to my eyes but not of sadness. Thank you, again, you have touched my heart forever. ~

An Expression of my Beliefs, July 30 2007
By Shelly Price - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Stewards of Spirit: Awakening in the Light of Rachel's Ballads (Paperback)
I have always tried to express my connection with nature, particularly the role animals play in my life. Gianetta was able to capture my innermost thoughts and feelings regarding the importance of interacting with nature and allowing it to guide and teach us. Rachel's Ballads take you on a unique journey through the impressions of a woman, who through tragedy, learns to live her life with an enhanced connection to nature. She opens herself to the possibility that nature can help heal tragic wounds and will protect her as she lives her simple, serene life to its fullest potential.
