first encounter in 1980 up to the present, more
than a decade after Castaneda's death. The story
follows the journey of a modern-day shaman's
apprentice over thirty years and across the globe,
from hedonistic beginnings towards surrender
and awakening, from a focus on magic and
power to the emergence of love and compassion. The central theme of this memoir is the
art of navigation, which entails living life in the spirit of a magical treasure hunt-playful,
intuitive, fluid and fully aware in the Now.
