This is an extraordinary account of a spiritual journey. Caroline Sherwood examines the path that led her to seek spiritual teachers and healers, both traditional and maverick. Based on diaries and journals, and written over the course of a lifetime, decades of study and practice are set against the day-to-day details of a memoir in a uniquely powerful combination. How do we go beyond our current sense of powerlessness to become a conscious and active teacher? What is the essential reality of our relationship to ourselves and the wider world? How can we help and heal ourselves, while also helping others? Whether you are just starting your spiritual journey, or are a life-long practitioner - this is a candid and thoughtful account of following a thread of gold.

"A deeply textured, well written, no-holds-barred spiritual odyssey that tells it as it really is, and then some. No fairy-gloss here, just the unadulterated facts of a journey through light and darkness that has resulted in a work of extraordinary exploratory power and penetration" Douglas Lockhart, author of The Dark Side of God and The Mar Saba Codex; "Fluid and articulate and deeply thoughtful" Philip Carr-Gomm, former head of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids; "Reading the book you're taken by the hand and come to discover what it means to embark on a journey that leads to a deeper and deeper understanding of our real nature" Johanna van der Schaft, Astrologer and Teacher
