Book summaryPoet, author, social worker, and student of shamanic medicine Oriah Mountain Dreamer seeks to inspire readers to find their inner truths through discovering their own creativity. In this instruction manual, she offers a method to integrate creativity into everyday life, sharing advice on nurturing it in whatever form it takes as well as allowing it to find its way out into the world. The author explores the connection between physical existence--sensuality, sexuality--and the more esoteric lives of spirituality and the creative process. With practical suggestions including "Learning to See," "Creating Together," and "Being Received," this book will encourage all readers to develop and enjoy their creative natures. Mountain Dreamer's gorgeous verse spices up her anecdotes, advice, and directions, to make this handbook an inspiration as well as a practical guide.Media Reviews"[Oriah Mountain Dreamer] demonstrates the intrinsic connection between creativity, spirituality and sexuality.....Those looking to refresh their spirit, revive their creativity or merely get to know themselves better should spend some time with this book." -- Publishers Weekly Publisher NotesIn her previous books, Oriah Mountain Dreamer has challenged readers to live with passion and honesty, to embrace the true, fallible, human self. What We Ache For is a moving and eloquent call to delve deeply into our creative selves, to do our creative work, and offer it to the world. The creative process is essential to human nature. It is as essential as spirituality and sexuality, and in fact all three are deeply intertwined. What We Ache For is a practical book allowing readers to embrace the urgency and necessity of their creativity, whatever their medium -- writing, painting, sculpture, dance, music, or film.As Oriah says, "Doing creative work allows us to follow the thread of what we ache for into a deeper life, offering us a way to cultivate a life of making love to the world." Following Oriah through this journeyin such chapters as "The Seductionof the Artist," "Learning to See," and "Risk and Sacrifice," What We Ache For challenges and inspires readers to fully embrace their artistic selves as a way of forging a path of spiritual unfolding.
