Book of Games and Warm Ups for Group Leaders 2nd Edition

Leo Rutherford started his life as an engineer. After more than a decade in a stressful job as managing director of a manufacturing company, he made the break which led him to California and an MA in Holistic Psychology and then back to England where he now lives and runs Eagle's Wing, a centre for contemporary Shamanism. He teaches Shamanic practice including the wisdom of the medicine wheel, Shamanic journeying and trance-dance, healing the inner child, sweatlodge, visionquest and other ceremonies, dance and playfulness. Leo has authored many books including 'Shamanic Path Workbook,' 'The View through the Medicine Wheel,' 'Principles of Shamanism' and  'Spirituality versus religion.'

This is a wonderful, practical and inspiring book for anyone who teaches or works with groups. Filled with wisdom, insights and workable hints. Highly recommended.
