title: Transforming the Soul: Beyond Soul Retrieval and Integration
author: Mary Phyllis Horn
description: In the past I have read a couple of books and articles about shamanic practices and soul retrieval, and at one point I attended a shamanic journeying workshop. However, I never truly grasped the meaning of soul loss and soul retrieval until I read Maryphyllis Horn s book, TRANSFORMING THE SOUL. She has eloquently weaved together her personal story, other case studies, and in-depth descriptions and explanations of the process in a way that is engaging, understandable, and comprehensive to the reader. Those on a journey toward wholeness, as well as practitioners and healers, will find TRANSFORMING THE SOUL an essential tool to discovering and understanding how parts of our souls affect our own nurturing, our journey of healing, and our continued spiritual growth. --Karen Newton, Founder, Innerchange Magazine, Garner, NC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Maryphyllis Horn's new book,Transforming The Soul, is user friendly because of the different methods offered. Her understanding of the process of transformation through soul retrieval provides a strong path to healing. --Cherry Lea, owner of Dancing Moon Bookstore, Raleigh, NC&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This is a great book and gives me continuing insights about the value of complete integration/transformation of the lost parts of the soul. We do different work, but the principles are sound. I love reading your book, Maryphyllis, because in my mind I see you all the time as if you were talking to me, and I remember how you have developed through the years and how you have changed due to this wonderful shamanic work. What an important contribution you are making. --Rev. Carol E. Beyer, Ph.D., Spiritual Counselor, Teacher, and student advisor at Sancta Sophia Seminary, Tahlequah, OK.<br /><br />Maryphyllis Horn's new book,Transforming The Soul, is user friendly because of the different methods offered.
