The Seven Principles of True Spiritual Fulfillment that Come From Living with the King of Animals.
It was while working as a game ranger in the Tuli bushveld of Botswana that Gareth Patterson's fascination and love for lions developed. Later, collaborating closely with the legendary George Adamson and the Born Free lions, he continued to rehabilitate lions back into the wild after Adamson's death in 1989.
Gareth Patterson's extraordinary experience of life with lions has shown him how, unlike us, lions are the embodiment of Ubuntu - the African sense of belonging. 'To Walk With Lions' takes us on a mystical journey towards rediscovering our spiritual wholeness through reverence for Nature. In our inward-looking, Western society, separated from Nature and God, many of us lack purpose and meaning whereas lions, wholly connected to the earth's energy, have an intrinsic sense of community and direction.
This book is about releasing ourselves from the prison of spiritual loneliness and purposelessness. It is about feeling a part of everything around us, about realising our place in the natural kingdom and discovering true spiritual fulfillment.
