Deborah Ravetz explores the territory of our inner landscape by showing us that it is only through embracing and working with all aspects of our selves, including our vulnerability and pain, that we give meaning and experience joy.
Through telling her own story and those of others who have faced their demons and worked through their struggles, she helps us to embark on the journey that all of us need to make in order to become fully ourselves.
Packed with applicable strategies for spiritual development and practice, this book serves to empower and cultivate holistic wellbeing.
Taco Bay was born in 1933 in Switzerland to a Dutch mother and Swiss father. As his family moved about, he went to many different schools, in five different languages. For a time he worked in Camphill, but at the age of 28 was ordained a priest of The Christian Community.
He worked in Edinburgh for many years before becoming lenker (coordinator) of the Netherlands. In 1977 he moved to Stuttgart taking on many of Rudolf Frieling’s tasks as erzoberlenker, leader of the whole movement, a role he took on fully after Frieling’s death in 1986.
Taco always had a world-wide perspective, and during these years The Christian Community expanded to Australasia, Japan and eastern Europe. Breaking with the practice until then, he stepped down from his office, consciously handing it over during his life. He died in 2011.
This is the first biography of this influential and spiritual man.
