Earthwalks for Body and Spirit

James Endredy leads workshops throughout the United States, Mexico, and Canada and is actively involved in preserving the world's indigenous cultures and traditional sacred sites, such as those of the Huichol Indians of western Mexico.

James Endredy, a workshop leader with Victor Sanchez, shows how the simple act of walking can be a catalyst for personal transformation. This book teaches readers to literally walk the path to mental quietude, higher consciousness, and greater awareness of Mother Earth.
