The Isle of Is: A Guide to Awakening

by Caroline Cottom, Thom Cronkhite

Set on a mythical island, The Isle of Is charts a journey of discovery in which the reader is the main character in the story of their own awakening. Throughout, international spiritual teachers Thom Cronkhite and Caroline Cottom PhD lead the reader into a place of peace, joy, and connection to all things - the experience of awakening to who and what they really are. This creative book + CD is suited for a wide range of spiritual seekers, regardless of religion, gender, level of spiritual development, or age. Most striking is the metaphor of the island. With its fantastic creatures, glorious scenery, and delightful story, The Isle of Is engages the senses, heart, and imagination. The book fills a need for spiritual material families can explore together. Also ideal for small group study, it cuts across religious lines as a simple tool for reaching universal truths.

About the author

I am a book author, poet, and spiritual teacher living in Greensboro, NC, USA. My collection of poems titled Asylum was just released by Main Street Rag Publishing Company. Reviews call the book beautiful, powerful, and redemptive.

My book, Love Changes Things: Even in the World of Politics , published in 2012, was followed by a book tour in California, Virginia, and Tennessee, USA. It is based on my experience of taking unconditional love into the halls of Congress, the Soviet Union, and the United Nations, with the goal of reversing the nuclear arms race, with profound results.

My husband Thom Cronkhite and I teach meditation and courses in living a spiritual life in Mexico and the U.S. We co-authored The Isle of Is: A Guide to Awakening , in which the reader is the main character in the story of their own awakening. We were living on a remote island in Fiji when we wrote this book!

I love cats, foxes, birds, and all of nature. And, of course, my family, friends, and fellow/sister meditators and everyone working for peace on the planet.

A beautiful book about the power and potency of living in the present moment. This book takes the young or adult reader into a playful and thought provoking journey to the Self. I can´t wait to read this book to my daughter in a few years!
