"WOUNDED HEART *** SOARING SPIRIT"
by Sandra of the Gardens.
"WOUNDED HEART ***
SOARING SPIRIT" is a in-depth sharing of my healing journey
experienced through expression. I am a retired art therapist and a
survivor of ritual abuse. My journey has been one of triumph through
unity and diversity, love and respect, courage and kindness.
It would be an honor to have
you share in our journey.
The profits from the book all go to the shelter so clients may have a gift of empowerment upon their reentering the community.
The cost of printing and binding each book is $40.00 and $2.00 for shipping in the U.S.A. If you wish to make a donation of $3.00 then the book will cost $40.00. I am doing this on my own to preserve the integrity of the book. This book was created by my internal collective community by telling this truth through pictures and words.
Thank you for your part in the healing journey.
With Love and Life in Truth,
Compassion and Integrity

WARNING TO THE READERS: THIS BOOK IS VERY INTENSE AND GRAPHIC. PLEASE TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF WHILE READING WITH SUPPORT PEOPLE AND JOURNALING.
"There is an inmost centre in us all, where truth abides in fulness" - Robert Browning, Paracelsus, Part 1.
The process of writing this book took 10 years and the help of many people. These people include family and friends, therapists and support groups. I would like to extend my heart and soul felt gratitude to all those beautiful souls. I will not name them here to protect their identities but I want them to know they shine in my heart always. My counselor, at the time encouraged me to edit this book and share it with others, so I persevered with her support.
My new husband, Joseph sustained me within his arms of love and encouragement throughout this difficult journey. My youngest daughter also brightened my days which helped me bring enlightenment into this fertile journey called healing.
Some of the pages in the book were edited by scanning the original pages as it was far too painful to relive each of these pages. It has taken the generosity of many good-hearted people who believed in me and this process and their donations of several computers and a typewriter to complete this book. The changes in format and style are a result of using different resources. The changes in fonts are done in respect and honor of the needs and wishes of every member in my internal community. Thank you in advance for your perseverance in reading this unusually formatted document. This book is self published to retain the integrity and authenticity of the journey. Please take care of yourself with support people while reading this book.
I have chosen to share my story of triumph over severe abuse through creativity and expression in order to help other survivors and those who support survivors along their healing journey. It is a way of returning the gifts of healing that were imparted to me, to the medicine wheel.
THIS IS MY WAY OF GIVING HONOR
TO ALL OF THOSE WHO HAVE SURVIVED TRAUMA AND GIVING SUPPORT IN AN
EMPOWERING WAY TO THEIR JOURNEY,
IN A NEW LIFE FREE OF TRAUMA.
