“It is truly a splendid and much needed work that Anne Bruetsch has created.”—Jean Houston, Ph.D.~ Is there an underlying life purpose in everything that happens to you — or do you feel like your life is just a series of random events?~ How can you find guidance that you can trust to support you in your life journey?~ When a loved one dies, is that person gone forever — or is it possible to still be connected?These are some of the questions that Anne Bruetsch explores as she shares her life story in Pilgrimage of Love: My Journey from Catholicism to Shamanism.Anne offers us an intimate look inside worlds not familiar to many—from a faith-filled childhood, to living as a nun in the days before Church reforms modernized the archaic rules governing convent life, to leaving the convent and finding her own unique path to live in service to others.She takes us with her on her journey to discover and follow an underlying spiritual path that is personally meaningful and infuses her decisions with divine guidance. Studying with internationally renowned futurist, Dr. Jean Houston, and traveling with her on pilgrimages to many sacred sites throughout the world broadened and deepened her spiritual life, and ultimately led to her discovery of shamanism, and her embracing of the Sweet Medicine SunDance path.Finding her soulmate only to lose her to illness, Anne’s inner process of grief, prayer, and renewal reveals that we are never really separated from those we most love. Ultimately, she realizes that she has always been blessed by the powerful companionship of spirit beings who guide her soul’s evolution towards enlightenment. Readers of this fascinating and memorable book may find themselves opening to a similar realization.
