Reviews:
The author, Peg Streep [cksargent@mindspring.com]
, October 29, 1997
More and more of us are beginning to realize that there is no distinction
between our "spiritual" selves and the other roles we take on
in life. Creating sacred space in the home, garden, and workplace helps
us articulate and integrate spirit into our daily lives, and gives us a
concrete way of acknowledging its importance.

with practical, inexpensive ideas.
Overflowing with practical ideas for creating your own sacred space, simply,
inexpensively, and personally. Useful for those well skilled in creating
sacred space, as well as beginners. I found the book insightful as well
as practical.
