'GARDENS OF THE SOUL :
MAKING SACRED AND SHAMANIC ART'
Faith Nolton
Divine Arts Publications 2014
Available from Amazon
'GARDENS OF THE SOUL' weaves together
the author’s own shamanic practice
with her skills as a painter and poet.
Readers are also encouraged to create
their own ‘Soul Gardens’ paintings,
with suggested simple projects
Faith Nolton shares the creative processes of sacred art —
both the inner journeying work and the practical art techniques.
She explores how making sacred art helps anyone engage
in a process of co-creation that can heal and powerfully alter and enrich
the physical world around us and expand our awareness.
Features 49 previously unpublished paintings, 30 of which were created specifically for the book.

REVIEWS
"For years I have admired Faith Nolton's brilliant visionary art which opens doors and shows us worlds most of us feel are here, around us, but unseen. Her generously illustrated book Gardens of the Soul goes one step further and invites us all to step over the threshold and meet the visionary artist in our hearts. Open this book and step into your own soul's garden. And that is only the beginning!"
— Jonathan Horwitz, co-director Scandinavian Center for Shamanic Studies
"Faith Nolton's book is wonderful and beautiful, with paintings and text that can only come from a deep understanding of shamanic experience." — Michael Harner, author of 'The Way of the Shaman and Cave and Cosmos'
"The luminous inscapes of Faith Nolton's images shine with the true clarity of the shaman's inner world, enabling us to enter into a deep communion with spirit beyond time and space." — Caitlín Matthews, author of 'Singing the Soul Back Home' and 'Celtic Visions'
