Synopsis:
How do you find renewal after loss, especially the loss of a child? How do you find purpose and courage to rejoin the world? Sandy Corcoran faced these questions—and received the most astonishing and extraordinary answers. Through a series of synchronicities that defied explanation, a variety of Native elders and indigenous wisdom-keepers became Sandy’s mentors, helping her step back from the darkness into the daylight. Whether in her backyard, immersed in esoteric teachings or exploring the sacred sites of Peru and Mexico, Sandy recounts her challenges, personal discoveries, and describes some of her initiations. Her unusual journey through the landscape of metaphysics, shamanism, the dream time, the world of living energies, and the luminal and imaginal realms is, in some ways, universal to us all. Between the Dark and the Daylight reminds us that no matter how far outside of the familiar we are led, we eventually are guided back to ourselves and offered another opportunity to embrace and navigate our world and, ultimately, to find our place in it.
