The Age of Separation: A Holistic Framework to Reclaim Our Power and Save Our Planet - Paperback

by Ryan J. Kemp (Author)

The Age of Separation provides a cross-cultural perspective on why our society is so polarized and a holistic framework for how we can mend it. In this delicate and precarious time in human history, we must understand how we can co-create a world that does not create the same patterns that we are trapped in now. They say history repeats itself; this can be called samsara. Drawing on ancient wisdom as well as time-tested experiential pathways of spirituality and interconnectedness, Ryan J. Kemp shows us how to evolve from separation toward inter-being, reclaim our power, and alleviate our personal suffering. Combining aspects of Buddhism, yogic philosophy, Ayurveda, indigenous wisdom, psychedelic experiences and more, this book not only offers a much-needed glimpse into alternative ways for the individual and collective to merge into deeper states of connectedness and love, but also encourages our personal growth by offering journal prompts and practical exercises.
