In an engagingly direct and intimate way, Master Iachak Don Alverto Taxo, invites us into a world of connection and gratitude by showing us how to grow friendships with the earth, air, fire and water. Through the simple daily habits, practices and awareness found here, we are given the unique opportunity to apprentice to a sacred and ancient wisdom with a master of the tradition. Wherever we are and in whatever circumstances, we can connect with the power of the Condor — the power to connect through the heart.

In Friendship with the Elements, Taita Iachak Alverto leads us in finding our own unique ways of connecting with the elements. He shows us how to create a life based on simple habits done within the context of our daily lives. These simple habits cleanse and open the channels of perception within us, enabling us to connect from the heart with the power of the elements.

This is a book to be savored and practiced, to be read in again and again. In a recent book release talk, Taita Iackak Alverto said, "One can read this book as something interesting. Or one can read it in a more internal way... Or, one can read it, extracting the nectar of life." At another point he said, "You can read the book by touching it. You can read it with your hand. It's not only the eyes that can read. Every cell of your body can do everything that the body can do."

The visual beauty of the book enhances its content. In an appealing 7" X 7" format with a wire bind that allows a page to be left open for contemplation, the color photos and graphics throughout invite the reader to linger and go deeper, resting in peacefulness and beauty.

119 pages, wire bound, with color photos and graphics throughout.
