About this listen

 Visionary author Oriah Mountain Dreamer brings to life the wisdom of her beloved The Invitation, the prose poem which has touched hearts everywhere with its fresh and spirited call to live life more passionately and honestly.

Speaking from the heart, she invites you to confront the varieties of human experience, from desire and commitment to sorrow and betrayal, and challenges you to open repeatedly to love and life. Unique, practical, and often surprising, The Invitation is an invaluable guide to living the ecstasy of everyday life, learning to recognize true beauty in yourself and the world, and finding the sustenance your spirit longs for.

Unexpected Gem

I popped this on while I was doing my work at home. I was listening however not intently to be honest (I intend to go back and listen properly again). As the time progressed and the stories unfolded, I found myself suddenly bursting into tears and sobbing very deeply. It felt to me that the story had pushed up something I had locked away, what exactly I am really not too sure, but I don't think that matters. I think the unwavering compassionate humanity in every word that Oriah speaks manages to coax out of us what we have shut away and given freedom of expression it is healed. That was a very unexpected outcome for me and I am thankful for this work and for my inner wisdom which knew to choose it.
