We stand on a precipice, the future unknown. But Indigenous people carry forward the values that humans need to survive and thrive. In \u003cem\u003eJourney to Eloheh\u003c\/em\u003e, Randy and Edith Woodley help readers transform their worldviews and lifestyles by learning the ten values of the Harmony Way. These ten values, held in common across at least forty-five Indigenous tribes and nations, can lead us toward true well-being: harmony, respect, accountability, history, humor, authenticity, equality, friendship, generosity, and balance. By learning, converting to, and cultivating everyday practices of Eloheh--a Cherokee word meaning harmony and peace--we have a chance at building well-being and a sustainable culture.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn this riveting account of their own journeys toward deepening their indigeneity and embodying harmony, Edith, an activist-farmer, and Randy, a scholar, author, teacher, and wisdom-keeper, help readers learn the lifeways of the Harmony Way. The journey to Eloheh holds promise for all of us, Indigenous or not.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe know the Western worldview is at odds with a sustainable Earth, a just common life, and personal well-being. Together we can convert to another way of living--one that recognizes the Earth as sacred, sees all creation as related, and offers ancestral values as the way forward to a shared future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadleaf Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/08\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781506496979\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 264","brand":"Randy Woodley, Edith Woodley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44561537433781,"sku":"9781506496979","price":23.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_4fa15db2-09f9-4f0d-968a-94097488c5d2.jpg?v=1723525982","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/journey-to-eloheh-how-indigenous-values-lead-us-to-harmony-and-well-being-9781506496979","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
