Buddhist teacher and anthropologist Joan Halifax delves into "the fruitful darkness" -- the shadow side of being, found in the root truths of Native religions, the fecundity of nature, and the stillness of meditation.

Grove Press is proud to reissue this important work by one of Buddhism's leading contemporary teachers.
