This is a Mystery School volume designed to help individuals renew themselves and society. The catalyst here is the Native American story of Deganawidah, a bringer of peace, and Hiawatha, a great orator, who together fashioned a people-centered democracy. Jean Houston sees this pivotal legend as a soul-shaper which can activate us to do the impossible, to work with a large circle of allies, to meet in councils of cooperation and co-creation, and to plant and nurture the great tree of peace. The exercises which accompany the Iroquois legend are creative and multidimensional. Houston's Mystery School seeks to equip adults for a new planetary culture.
