Discover everyday spiritual riches through: Zen arts of cooking and eating Jewwish and Native American coming-of-age rituals Bedouin rules of hospitality and friendship Mindful approached to pregnancy and birth Ancient Christian practices that nurture the dying Shaker philosophies of daily work and craft The Buddhist way to a peaceful night's sleep
