Opis

Sitting in a cell, knowing she is going to die, Ninona thinks back on her life. Her choices and the consequences. When she comes to a clearing in the forest, the choice she makes to settle and make it her home has consequences beyond her wildest imagination. She is forced to face her fears and deal with her regrets, shame, and guilt. Ninona's Story is not just about the physical journey but more so the spiritual journey. We share her thought and feelings while learning how she deals with it all. The forest itself and the animals in it help and support Ninona in her process; she in turn gives back what she can. As she helps the young male wolf, she not only explains to him what she does and why but also how the physical ailments often are the body showing the need to deal with deep buried psychological challenges, as in order to heal the broken leg, the wolf has to mend his broken heart. Ninona is later on reminded that even as a healer she is not expected to heal the world. Ninona learns about the all-important balance between the elements and how nature always has to maintain that balance as its existence depends on it. She is a student of nature who becomes a teacher, a teacher who speaks the language of nature. While being a student of nature, her own boundaries are pushed further and further out.
