Living With the Spirits of the Land

A Spiritual Memoir

Request from Mano: “We can no longer go on alone. We are in deep need of the nourishment we receive from interacting with the human kingdom and you are in deep need of us to sustain your lives by interacting with nature.”

Barbara Thomas has, for many years, been a faithful and dedicated liaison between worlds—the worlds of angels, nature spirits, and humans.

Her journey of becoming, as told in this spiritual memoir, involves an impressive number of teachers and guides, trainings and awakenings, pilgrimages and international work. These led her, ever drawn by destiny, to her core task of working intimately with the angels and nature spirits on her land in the Santa Cruz Mountains.

With tenacity and ever-growing consciousness, with pure-heartedness and practicality, Barbara Thomas offers a template, a process, for earth healing through conscious surrender to spiritual guidance. It is a forgiving path (she does not leave out her own lapses and misunderstandings along the way), just as it is rigorous, glorious, calm, and urgent. Her co-authors are the gnomes themselves.
