Patricia Telesco & Don Waterhawk
The beat is universal - drumming as a way of communicating with other people, spirits, and self exists around the world and throughout time. Sacred Beat honors and explores every aspect of drumming - historical, contemporary, practical. In Part I, Telesco and Waterhawk tell the history of drums and drumming circles and the myths, superstitions, and religions that have grown up around drumming. From West Africa to Tibet, from Siberia to England, from Vietnam to Apache territory come stories about drums, their invention, their use up until contemporary times. People respond almost universally and profoundly to drums - to relieve stress, to communicate, to move in rhythm with the universe, to praise their gods. A comprehensive section of practical information follows, with ideas for finding a drum and other rhythmic tools that are right for your vision, caring for and decorating your instrument, drum etiquette, and elements of a good drum circle. The next section of Sacred Beat is all about drumming in groups - different ways it’s being done, from Native American Pow-Wows to Goddess gatherings to community centers, and how to become a part of it. The book closes with a section on creating drumming magic all your own, with meditations, prayers, and divinations to create overall well-being and spiritual awareness with drums.

Gary Eberle
In Sacred Time and the Search for Meaning,author Gary Eberle contemplates how humans' view of time has evolved throughout history, how we came to measure time, and why we feel especially starved for it now. Eberle seeks to rediscover a renewed sense of meaning in life through looking for ways to enter the realm of sacred time or "sabbath time" - where we can reconnect with the slower, deeper rhythms of life that have traditionally been experienced through worship, prayer, and the observance of holy days. Drawing from the work of Western philosophers from Aristotle to Heidegger, and on theorists from Jung to Foucault, he presents both an intellectual history of time and a personal account of his own search for sacred time. Along the way he formulates an insightful analysis of our culture's obsession with speed and efficiency, and he offers guidance for slowing down to savor life outside of schedules and routines, showing the way toward finding fulfillment in this increasingly accelerated world.

James A Hall
Nothing in James Hall's midwestern childhood or professional writing career had prepared him for such an unexpected life. When Hall was on assignment in Africa working with legendary singer Miriam Makeba, she perceived he had the rare gift to see both into the future and into people's souls. At her urging, Hall consulted a sangoma, a traditional healer, who told him he was possessed by ancestral spirits who could give him the power to heal others and to become a sangoma himself- if he was willing to take the risk. The risk he took required him to break with the past and embrace an uncertain future, and undergo a two-year spiritual and physical ordeal- initiation into the mysteries of psychic possession and traditional healing. His is a story never heard before, told by the first white person to complete these demanding and secret rituals. Hall's grasp of reality was shaken to the core as he was forced to surrender himself to souls from the spirit world who now use him as their liaison with the living. James Hall still lives in Swaziland where he practices as a traditional healer. "... an amazing story." - Booklist.

Martin Prechtel
After finding his wife in the arms of a rich white man, Prechtel, a half-breed Native American, experiences 10 days of exceptionally vivid dreams, before setting off to wander, moneyless but happier, through Mexico. Eventually, after many adventures and tight spots, (including being prevented from boarding a bus, which later crashes with all lives lost, by a seemingly crazy old road-sweeper, who held him in a vice like grip even when the bus conductor rained kicks on his ribs and kidneys) he arrives in Guatemala and the Mayan village of Santiago Atitlan, which he immediately recognises as the place he has seen so vividly in his dreams. One day as he approaches the local market he feels someone grab his collarbone muscles so hard he falls to his knees. "How come you came late, Curly? For two years I've been calling you," says the voice of Nicolas Chiviliu Tacaxoy, an old Mayan well into his eighties, and possibly the most famous shaman in Tzutujil Mayan history. So begins an incredible story, in which Prechtel undergoes intense shamanic training, rising to become a village chief and famous shaman in his own right. If this were all that is in this book, it would be a book well worth reading, but there is more. For it describes a culture of great beauty, where its leaders, rather than seeking reward, give up all in service of their people, returning to normal life once their resources and monies are exhausted, education seeks to teach how to live a life of balance, and the language itself is like a poem, a song, every sentence like a lover courting a beloved. Although this culture has now largely been destroyed, by 30 years of war, in which traditional peoples were often murderously targetted as being a barrier to progress (more than 1800 of the villagers died in this meaningless slaughter), and even more years of missionary zealotry which belittled Mayan traditions and forbade even the weaving of traditional ceremonial clothing, there is much in this book to teach all people about how to live a good life, a life of humanity. "It's a precious thing, this book. I've never known another like it. It's a great encyclopedia of beauty... " - Robert Bly.

Engineer, scientist, and artist, Albert Taylor relates his research and knowledge with great insight and humor.
