Coyote Wisdom

Stories are powerful sources of meaning that shape and transform our lives. We tell stories to track our process of personal and spiritual growth and to honor and respect the journeys we have made. Through stories we are provided with experiences of spiritual empowerment that can lead to transformation.

Lewis Mehl-Madrona explores the use of stories for healing and personal transformation. By introducing new characters and plots in the stories we tell, we can perceive ourselves in new ways. The author draws upon indigenous cultures of North America, Maori, East Africa, Mongolia, Australia, and Lapland to illustrate the healing use of stories throughout the world.
