Pegi Eyers is the author of Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community (2015), self-published by Stone Circle Press.

"Nature Spirituality has always been essential to my life journey, and First Nations teachings continue to be an important part of my ongoing learning and personal transformation.  In 2010 I heard an Elder say that “everyone needs to get back to their own indigenous knowledge.”  Like a lightning bolt from the blue (!) this simple statement activated a monumental set of questions about my own life, and issues in the wider society.  Why were my kindred spirits in the spiritual community assuming First Nations identities or taking cultural and spiritual property that did not belong to them, and where were our own indigenous expressions as people with European heritage? Over the past three years I have been driven to examine these issues, and Ancient Spirit Rising: Reclaiming Your Roots & Restoring Earth Community is the result of exhaustive research on eco-identity, along with my own nature-based observations, conclusions, evocations, poetry and illustrations."
