The most pressing question in these uncertain times may well be, How can we bring healing and protection to the Earth? It was this very question that Cynthia Jurs carried with her in 1990 as she climbed a path high in the Himalayas, to meet an old wise man in a cave a venerated lama from Nepal.

In response to her question, the old lama gave her a formidable assignment based on an ancient practice from Tibet: she must procure earth treasure vases made of clay and potent medicines, fill them with prayers and symbolic offerings, and bury them around the world where healing is called for. Thus begins the journey of a lifetime sometimes harrowing, but always shining with beauty at the threshold between urgency and the timelessness of the sacred.

In Summoned by the Earth we accompany this passionate and creative Buddhist teacher, as she attempts to fulfill the daunting task. Ultimately, the path from the wise mans mountain cave winds around the world, bringing Cynthia into relationship with elders, activists, diverse ecosystems and communities. One by one, as the humble clay pots are planted in the Earth, the power of an ancient technology of the sacred comes alive and a global community grows to protect the Earth and learn how to become vessels of healing.

As many of us wonder what we can do in this eleventh hour, Summoned by the Earth offers a riveting account of one woman's response to the challenges we face, and is an irresistible invitation to become sacred activists heeding the call of the Earth.
