Although each one of us must take personal responsibility for his or her spiritual life, this is a time when a rich array of resources are available to us. Fred R. Gustafson lays out in this book the wisdom of these titular traditions. The author, a Jungian analyst and pastoral counselor, has been ceremonially involved for 11 years with the Brule branch of the Lakota people. He believes that Indian culture and spirit have much to teach us about finding beauty and dignity in all of our relationships. Gustafson's Jungian analysis of his dreams and his interpretation of the spiritual themes in the 1990 film Dances with Wolves convey the importance of reclaiming a vital and intimate relationship with the earth. Dancing Between Two Worlds makes a convincing case for nourishing one's soul with waters from different streams.
