Testimonials for 4Warnings
" What a woman can teach us all....You may pick up this beautiful, seemingly short, book casually. You will leave it being forever changed. Ms. Ross weaves a vision of our possible future as a species - indeed, as living creatures - which pulls at the heart and, hopefully, spurs us to action.
Through her visionary travels with Bat, Orca Whale, Deer and Bear, she leads us on a journey encompassing the spiritual and physical realms which lie hidden within our psyches, to truths we know but don't know we know and sometimes wish we didn't.
If you have an inkling of the dangers we have imposed on our very existence on this home, our planet; if you have a heart which hears the steady drumbeat of destruction; if you want to cry out with all creatures, in compassion - pick up this beautiful and heartful book. You will find a companion here." -- Bruce Nygren, Amazon customer; President Emeritus: Center for Non-dual Awareness.
"A beautiful piece of work! Very moving. The illustrations couldn't have been better." -- Richard Lutman, prize-winning author of Crowsfield.
"Your book is beautiful and also frightening, suitable shaman material, creative and destructive forces alongside each other. Thank you for gifting us with these precious dream journeys." -- Ken Stanton, Foundation for Shamanic Studies workshop participant, Esalen Institute.
