Luminous : Poems and Inquiry for the Soul's Journey

Luminous is a powerful and unique poetry collection that invites the reader to take a transformational and self-reflective journey thorugh the depths and heights of human experience. An enlightening and provocative "roadmap for the soul's journey," this collection touches universal themes through a personal lens. These poems evoke the power of the wild earth, the richness of the seasons of life, the fierceness of our soul's passages, and the beauty and resilience of the human heart. Each poem serves as a doorway into our inner landscapes--where we discover our unique stories, wounds and gifts, as well as our deep sense of belonging and connection to Life itself. Each poem is followed by reflective questions that support you to explore your own growth and evolution. This collection can be used as guidance and inspiration in your own personal practice, in meditation or support circles, and by teachers and presenters.

"Luminous is a precious gem, a masterpiece of loveliness, a deep dive into the soul. The poems in this book will enlighten, nourish, support and envelope you. Laura has written a gift relevant to all people--but particularly to seekers, awakened ones and people committed to their constant growth and development. It is a treasure."

Lynne Twist, Author of Soul of Money & Co-Founder, Pachamama Alliance

"Laura's poems are magical adventures. Like shamanic journeys, they inspire us to soar through portals to our higher consciousness. We reawaken to our connection with nature, the earth and the universe."

John Perkins, Author of Confessions of an Economic Hitman, The Secret History of the American Empire, The World as You Dream It and many more

"Luminous is a collection of poems that have arrived out of Laura's deep kinship with nature--both the outer landscape and the inner seasons of the soul's unfolding. With an attentiveness to their contours, rhythm and flavour, it's as if the poet reunites words until their combined picture emerges--and we unexpectedly, gratefully find ourselves in it."

Toko-pa Turner, Author of Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home

"Laura Weaver is fluent in the language of the heart--the heart that knows the beauty and joy of being touched by the seasons of time, the pain of loss, the rootedness of the natural world, and the delicacy of stillness. I suspect that like me, her poetry will authentically touch your heart in a way that you too feel seen and known."

Michael Stone, Journalist and Host and Producer of The Shift Network Shamanism Global Summit and KVMR's Conversations

"A poet of the soul, Laura Weaver's Luminous is an invitation to hold sacred the truth of our vulnerabilities--our greatest strength. Every word is a carrier wave delivering intricate sound codes that awaken the mystery and mastery of a human life."

Tryshe Dhevney, Sounds True Recording Artist, Sound Healer, Actor & Director

"There is nowhere to hide in Laura Weaver's exquisite poetry. Luminous shines the light on our deepest longings, wounds, joys and sorrows, with no apology. This utterly beautiful collection will break you open--over and over again."

Pasha Hogan, Author of The Joy of Creative Discovery and Third Time Lucky: A Creative Recovery and Founder of Creative Discovery

"Laura Weaver's poems are a salve for the human soul. These pages will accompany your path, as they have mine, providing expression for the ineffable, solace for the unbearable, and profound hope and inspiration for what's possible."

David Tucker, Pachamama Alliance

"This is a book of poems that I want to show my mother, my daughter, my grandmother--and bask in their aching, loving truths and insights."

Rebecca Ghanadan, PhD, Founder, Aspis Coaching Group
