From the Back Cover
'Maps to Ecstasy' takes the reader on a powerful shamanic journey carefully designed to lead to an exploration of the whole self – body, heart, mind, soul and spirit.
By helping us to understand the five sacred rhythms inherent in all our actions, and the five life cycles that lead to enlightenment, Gabrielle Roth awakens our latent shamanic power through a dynamic mixture of dance, song, meditation, theatre and ritual, and teaches us how shamanic principles can be incorporated here and now, even in contemporary urban lives.
Gabrielle Roth, one of the world’s most exciting exponents of experimental dance and theatre, has devoted her life to empowering people through the creative process, inspiring them to free themselves, to transform their daily lives into sacred art. In this book she gives to the reader what she has discovered through her work – the way to fully celebrate life.
“A wonderful and inspiring book that can lead people to a new level of understanding and give them the courage to follow their dreams.”
LYNN ANDREWS

A Rich Tapestry
5 April 2003
Format:Paperback
Reading this book was something like a dance. I moved in readily to embrace her passionate stories and images of dancing, recognizing the value that dance can have for me in letting my body express how it feels. Then, I found myself withdrawing, as Roth began telling me how to experience the world, what labels and definitions to apply to my emotional experience and how I should go about knowing myself. Yet, I was drawn toward her again to discover many pearls of wisdom embedded in the passages of this book. Overall, this book was for me a rich tapestry of life experience and collected wisdom which encouraged and stimulated me to reflect on my relationship with my body and my own psychological reality.
Roth's most vital message, in my judgment, is of the body's role in coming into relationship with the unconscious. Most depth psychologists emphasize the intra-psychic realm, the work to be done within the psyche to develop a strong connection between the ego and the Self. Yet, here is a person whose way of individuation is through the body and she contributes her awareness of this path with great passion and energy. For people who exist at some distance from their bodies, Roth's stories and descriptions of dancing into relationship are food for renewal.
