We stand on a precipice, the future unknown. But Indigenous people carry forward the values that humans need to survive and thrive. In \u003ci\u003eJourney to Eloheh\u003c\/i\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","brand":"Broadleaf Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50896546431250,"sku":"9781506496979","price":20.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_e4dc55cf-b453-43dd-80ee-f24b030efe13.jpg?v=1738292876","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/journey-to-eloheh-how-indigenous-values-lead-us-to-harmony-and-well-being-9781506496979","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
