Přechodové rituály a posvátná moudrost pro dospívající Podle některých domorodých tradic jsou Bouřlivá léta životním obdobím, kdy je potřeba naslouchat silným pocitům, snům, touhám a cílům - pobuřovat, a dokonce být neukáznění. Bouřlivá léta jsou léta dospívání, čas, kdy mladý člověk kráčí po cestě do dospělosti. Jsou to léta vzrušující, plná možností a tvořivé energie, a zároveň bolestivá, plná zmatků a sebepoznávání. Spirituální učení a moudrosti, které autorka shromáždila z nejrůznějších kultur po celém světě, nabízejí mladým lidem pomoc na cestě Bouřlivým obdobím dospívání, aniž by utrpěla jejich duše, tvořivost či smysl pro humor. Kniha čerpá z rozmanitých tradic a nabízí různé techniky - např. meditace, hledání vize, bdělé snění, iniciační obřady a rituály - jako možnosti, jak správně využít silnou energii, která se v období dospívání uvolňuje. Pokud se člověk citlivě propojí se svou bouřlivostí, dostane se mu jistoty, kterou potřebuje k naplnění vlastních snů. z angličtiny přeložila Lucie Hanigerová, básně přeložil Pavel Sobek ilustrace: černobílé fotografie
