The Seven Paths:
Changing One's Way of Walking in the World

By Anasazi Foundation

“Inspiring! The Seven Paths is filled with wisdom and truth-it is the perfect prescription for healing a broken heart.”
-Wynonna Judd

Too many people today have taken the wrong path. They walk alone, seeking peace and fulfillment in isolation. But this approach will take us only so far. We need to leave the path of Me and follow the path of We.

The Seven Paths gives access to a source of wisdom and renewal familiar to native people but lost to the rest of us. This poetic and evocative book, draws on the personal experiences and meditations of Good Buffalo Eagle to present the journey of an ancient Anasazi tribesman who rejects his community and walks into the desert. He discovers the seven paths of the Anasazi way, each path teaching a lesson symbolized by an element of the natural world and ultimately leading to the path of We. By walking these paths, he discovers the roots of his conflict and the way toward reconciliation.

Founded in 1988 by renowned wilderness pioneers Larry D. Olsen and Ezekiel C. Sanchez (Good Buffalo Eagle), the Anasazi Foundation gives more than 4,000 young people an opportunity for growth through a primitive living experience and a philosophy that invites healing at the hands of nature. Anasazi’s family-focused intervention programs inspired the international bestseller The Anatomy of Peace and were the subject of an episode of the Emmy-award-winning MTV series True Life.
