In this month’s Messages, we’ll explore “To You We Shall Return” by Joseph M. Marshall III. Marshall is an award-winning author and member of the Lakota Sioux tribe. His ten books include “The Power of Four,” “The Lakota Way,” and “The Journey of Crazy Horse.” Marshall gives us a powerful account of the Lakota’s relationship to the Earth and how it contrasts with our dominant global mindset. His words speak directly to many of the challenges we currently face. This month, we’ll learn to feel a natural strong connection to the Earth which can heal us and our planet. I think you’ll find the Lakota view truly inspiring.
