Maps to Ecstacy: A Healing Journey for the Untamed Spirit

Author: Gabrielle Roth

In this revised edition of Maps to Ecstacy, Gabrielle Roth expands on the themes that have guided her: ways of transforming daily life into sacred art. Her work in teaching movement has been described as a marriage of art and healing.

Each chapter initiates readers into one of the five sacred powers necessary for survival and reveals the five life cycles that lead to enlightenment. The creative process brings readers in touch with these five sacred powers by freeing the body to experience the power of being, expressing the heart to experience the power of loving, emptying the mind to experience the power of self-knowledge, awakening the soul to experience the power of seeing, and embodying the spirit to experience the power of healing.

Roth shows readers how to awaken latent shamanic powers; reconnect to primal knowledge through exercises, dance, song, poetry, meditation, theatre, and ritual; and incorporate these principles into contemporary life.

What People Are Saying

Lynn Andrews
A wonderful and inspiring book that can lead people to a new level of understanding and give them the courage to follow their dreams.


Natalie Goldberg
She might dance on the path, but she also rocks on the page.


Brooke Medicine Eagle
Gabrielle Roth's book is a joy, a truly moving experience from a very fine teacher. It is both fun to read and immensely instructive. Don't expect to finish the book in a couple of sittings -- keep it around and work with it over time like an old friend. Five stars for Gabrielle Roth and Maps to Ecstasy
