Review of advance copy received from Netgalley
Hozho invites you into a world where you learn to align the self with the psychology that inspires you to grow. This narratives weaves bits of memoir, psychology, and indigenous perspectives to understand what it means to be self-actualized. There are several aspects to the soul that are only best understood when you apply them outside of western philosophies. There is the theme of reconnecting and falling in love with yourself in this narrative. Throughout the narrative there are questions to answer in your journal to help you connect with each aspect of the self; the body, the heart, the mind, and your spirit.
I appreciated journal style questions and in the first part they seem repetitive. I found myself not sure why – until I realized how they were all going to connect in the end. This is a narrative with chapters that build on each other and help to piece it all together whole. To be self-actualized is to acknowledge your strengths and weaknesses within all aspects of yourself. Granddaughter Crow truly encapsulates this wholeness throughout both parts of her narrative as she guides readers on how to tap into the self-actualization journey.
There is something about oneness and the whole spirit that she really enjoys and helps to connect readers with. This is also a story about connecting with your cultural roots and learning to deconstruct western philosophies that have scared you away from indulging in them. There are many ways we connect and we begin with acknowledging the cultures we belong to and passing down ancestral wisdom that has been shadowed by the supremacy of western philosophies. A story that takes it back to truly understanding where the center of your whole self sits.
This is a narrative for readers that are not only open minded but learning how to truly understand themselves through deconstruction. Deconstruction is difficult and that comes with mental health challenges. Take advantage of the journal prompts. Exercises, and thinking moments. This is why narratives like this are important and need to be spread far and loud. To connect yourself with your whole self and truly embrace who you are is a real act of defiance. Thank you Granddaughter Crow, North Atlantic books, and Netgalley for this advanced digital copy. All opinions are my own.
