Doula Your Book into Being
Inspired by the Ancient Ones, I. Murphy Lewis draws on the energies imbued in her through the initiation of the Maasai Warriors of Kenya into a dream shaman and through the storytelling of the Kalahari San Bushmen, the first cave painters in Africa, Tsodilo Hills, Botswana. With individual writers, at a distance or in Paris, Murphy shamanically accesses the Akashic Records, igniting your manuscript with engaging Gateless prompts, birthing your book into its beingness. In the quiet and stillness of the Akasha you can hear yourself think.
