Reviews


"Out of Nowhere, like all of Jaya’s meditations, arrives perfectly formed. Like pulling up a bucket of fresh water from a well, this small offering is refreshing, surprising and ultimately, life-sustaining. The body and heart receive the love, care and joy rippling through this book, long after the mind has digested the words."


~ Melissa Abrahams, ritualist and medicine weaver at Sun Moon Healing

"This book is precious. It is bursting with juice and with heart. It is a kaleidoscope of colours, insights, subtlety and the taste of ultimacy. It invites us to leave ourselves behind and be swept away into life without limits. The book is a collection of wild and wonderful meditations, poems, and creative expressions by Jaya and those around her. It is a gift." 


~ Dr. Stephen Fulder, founder and senior teacher of Tovana
