to Patonjolis Yoga Sutras. He includes chapters on yoga and health, childhood, love, death, faith, teachers and teaching.

James Bay, 1971-1975, for the governments in Québec City and Ottawa to wake up to the disgrace. Nungak relates the inside story of how the young Inuit and Cree "Davids" took action when Québec began construction on the giant James Bay hydro project. They fought in court and at the negotiation table for an accord that effectively became Canada's first land-claims agreement. Nungak's account is accompanied by his essays on Nunavik history. Together they provide a fascinating insight into a virtually unknown chapter of Canadian history. 2017.Wise women: over two thousand years of spiritual writing by women

Par Robert P Wells. 2012
Racism takes many forms. When it rises from simply being the opinion of a handful of people to becoming widely…
accepted by a nation, it can result in official programs that may to the public be touted as beneficial, but that can actually discriminate against entire ethnic groups.

artistes, penseurs et écrivains tracent des chemins où inscrire nos pas. Ce sont autant d'invitations : cultiver l'indignation face à l'injustice avec Stéphane Hessel ; incarner le vivre-ensemble dans une unité féconde avec Jean Vanier ; être à l'écoute d'une voix de fin silence avec Sylvie Germain ; célébrer, au-delà des ténèbres, la joie avec Magda Hollander-Lafon ; ou suivant les paroles du poète Salah Stétié, ajouter chacun un peu d'humanité à l'humanité... Ces témoignages, ainsi que le parcours exemplaire d'Etty Hillesum évoqué par Karima Berger, sont porteurs d'une espérance insoupçonnée. Ces entretiens sont issus de l'émission Les Racines du Ciel, diffusée sur France Culture chaque dimanche de 7h05 à 8h00. Frédéric Lenoir et Leili Anvar y évoquent toutes les formes de spiritualité, d'hier et d'aujourd'hui, d'Orient et d'Occident, ancrées ou pas dans une tradition religieuse. 2016.Unsettling Canada: a national wake-up call

Bestseller. 2015.Une école à la dérive: essai sur le système d'éducation au Nunavik
Par Nicolas Bertrand. 2016
Depuis l'implantation des premières écoles fédérales au milieu du siècle dernier, le système d'éducation au Nunavik n'a cessé d'être en…
crise. Absentéisme fréquent, faibles résultats scolaires, décrochage important des élèves au secondaire. le portrait est, hélas, familier. L'école échoue par ailleurs à enseigner adéquatement la culture inuite, ce qui attise les critiques à son égard. Prenant appui sur son expérience personnelle à titre de suppléant dans le village de Kangirsuk, Nicolas Bertrand dresse le portrait de cette école dont la dérive a des racines profondes et complexes. Il réfléchit aussi à la manière de réformer ce système et démontre la difficulté de cette entreprise. Car tant et aussi longtemps que l'école sera perçue par les Inuits, à tort ou à raison, comme un obstacle et non comme une condition de leur émancipation, sa légitimité sera contestée et sa mission, compromise. De l'éducation de sa jeunesse dépend pourtant l'avenir du Nunavik qui, sans renier son passé, doit aussi accepter pleinement sa modernité. 2016.Trusting God day by day: 365 daily devotions

and Cree – travelled to Britain and other parts of the world. Who were these transatlantic travellers, where were they going, and what were they hoping to find?

Par Bev Sellars. 2013
Like thousands of other Aboriginal children, Xatsu'll chief Bev Sellars spent part of her childhood as a student in a…
church-run residential school. These institutions attempted to "civilize" Native children through Christian teachings; forced separation from family, language, and culture; and strict discipline. Perhaps the most symbolically potent strategy used to alienate residential school children was addressing them by assigned numbers only, not by the names with which they knew and understood themselves. Sellars breaks her silence about the residential school's lasting effects on her and her family - from substance abuse to suicide attempts - and articulates her own path to healing. 2013.There's a spiritual solution to every problem
Par Wayne W Dyer. 2002
This text proposes that we hold the keys to solving any problems we face within us. The author sets out…
basic principles and foundations we can understand and practice in order to access spiritual solutions to any problems we are experiencing. The book is in two sections. The first sets out the theory, the second enables you to put the wisdom into practice. Part one discusses the theory that everything in the universe is nothing more than energy. Part two shows how we can transform any negative energy into positive energy: hate into love; hurt into forgiveness; doubt into faith; despair into hope; sadness into joy. 2002.The wise woman within: sprials to wholeness
Par Jill Treseder. 2004

into a single confederacy over 500 years ago. Deganawidah, The Peacemaker, became the greatest of all spiritual leaders of the Iroquois.

Some descriptions of violence. 1994.The Spirit-filled life: discover the joy of surrendering to the Holy Spirit
Par Charles F Stanley. 2014
Helps you recognize and begin to live with the guiding presence of the Holy Spirit by challenging you in three…
parts to look up, within, and ahead. Life abundant? Jesus promised it and we long for it, yet few Christians seem to have it. Blending lively anecdotes, commentary, and teachings from the Bible, the author introduces you to the Holy Spirit. He is not an oversized electrical current you just plug into when you need additional help, or a theological concept, but just as real and active as Christ. He has personality as well as a specific job description and a definite desire to be an active part of our lives. 2014. Uniform title: Wonderful spirit-filled lifeThe road less traveled: a new psychology of love, traditional values, and spiritual growth
Par M. Scott Peck. 1978
The reconciliation manifesto: recovering the land, rebuilding the economy
Par Arthur Manuel, Ronald M Derrickson. 2017
Manuel and Grand Chief Derrickson challenge virtually everything that non-Indigenous Canadians believe about their relationship with Indigenous Peoples and the…
steps that are needed to place this relationship on a healthy and honourable footing. They show how governments are attempting to reconcile with Indigenous Peoples without touching the basic colonial structures that dominate and distort the relationship. They review the current state of land claims, tackle the persistence of racism, and celebrate Indigenous Rights Movements while decrying the role of government-funded organizations like the Assembly of First Nations. They document the federal government's disregard for the substance of the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples while claiming to implement it. This will appeal to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people who are open and willing to look at the real problems and find real solutions. Winner of the 2018 Hubert Evans Non-Fiction Prize. 2017.
