Renee Baribeau - Winds of Spirit

Praise for Winds of Spirit

A unique and fascinating book to help you reset your inner compass and navigate the uncharted seas of your life. Winds of Spirit invites you to meet the wind gods of ancient times who will help you find grace and wisdom in any situation if you invoke them. A truly magical book for the modern seeker.

Colette Baron-Reid, best-selling author of Messages from Spirit, The Map, and Uncharted

Winds of Spirit is a fabulous book that will transform you into a lover of the wind. Renee Baribeau is an exquisite wordsmith. Her writing emerges from the depth of her heart and soul as she writes about her life experience and how she healed herself. She shares such awe-inspiring legends and practices of how to work with the wind to navigate life, heal from your past, and invoke blessings. This is truly one of the best books I have read. It is inspiring and unique.

Sandra Ingerman, author of Soul Retrieval and Walking in Light

Beautifully written. Truly inspiring. Practical and applicable. This book will help guide you to the true path of finding your own inner wisdom and verified faith. Read it, apply the wisdom, and together we shall create a positive change on this planet from the inside out.

Noah Levine, author of Dharma Punx

Winds of Spirit is a fascinating guide to working with the wind. This is a must-read for anyone wanting to enhance their knowledge of its ancient wisdom.

Joan Borysenko, Ph.D., New York Times best-selling author of Minding the Body, Mending the Mind

Renee shares so much of herself and her hard-won wisdom in this well-written and enlightening book.

Mackenzie Phillips, actress and singer

Winds of Spirit is a beautiful and thought-provoking book that presents the winds as transpersonal forces of nature that live around and within us throughout our lives. This absorbing book held my interest to the last page, and reveals Renee Baribeau as a modern, western medicine woman.

Hank Wesselman, Ph.D., anthropologist, shamanist teacher, and author of The Re-Enchantment, the award-winning Awakening to the Spirit World (with Sandra Ingerman), The Bowl of Light, and the critically acclaimed Spiritwalker trilogy

Praises to Renee Baribeau for blowing a gust of fresh wind into the rich shamanic body of wisdom. This book masterfully reconnects us to the wind gods and goddesses, and steers us to think and develop an intimate relationship with that life-giving and destructive force, one we may take for granted. Read this remarkable book.

Itzhak Beery, author of The Gift of Shamanism, Shamanic Transformations, and Shamanic Healing

Renee has masterfully enlaced cultural knowledge and practices, bringing us a new global vision of the wind spirits to help us navigate our tumultuous times toward a more beautiful tomorrow.

Elizabeth B. Jenkins, best-selling author of The Return of the Inka

Renee Baribeau has written a must-read primer for anyone considering their own spiritual evolution. I was riveted by the depth of her myths, legends, and sacred stories. Her work is not only a scholarly treatise on the resilience of the human spirit, but a deeply evocative narrative that bore her vulnerability with a sense of power and dignity. Her use of ancient storytelling had me sitting on the edge of my seat. The reader is served by her eloquence, imagination, and authentic truth telling. For some readers, the entire book will lead to an inner awakening and a revelation of all that is holy.

Dr. Sharron Stroud, president of the International Foundation for World Peace and Research and spiritual leader of Innerfaith New Thought Spiritual Center Worldwide
