• The Path of the Feather (2000) by Mary Rockwood Lane and Michael Samuels
  The Path of the Feather returns an ancient and long-revered ritual, the Medicine Wheel, to a place of honor in our lives. From Greece to Siberia, from England to America, the making of medicine wheels and the shamanic way was the centerpiece of daily life for indigenous cultures the world over. We learned from the earth; we listened to her spirits; and we went in search of her visions.
  
  The Path of the Feather recaptures that way of being. This unique book and kit provides readers with everything they need to become contemporary shamans. Containing thirteen figurines, a Medicine Wheel map, compass, medicine bag, and an authoritative instruction book, The Path of the Feather gives guidance, inspiration, and answers to the questions of life. With this kit, readers will be able to harness the power of the living earth, follow the spirit animals, and make Medicine Wheels for sacred living, oracular vision, manifesting dreams and desires, and much more.
  
  Walk the Path of the Feather and become a contemporary shaman.

• Creative Healing: How to Heal Yourself by Tapping Your Hidden Creativity (1998) by Mary Rockwood Lane and Michael Samuels
  All across the country, a groundbreaking movement is forming in the field of health care: art and medicine are becoming one, with remarkable results. In major medical centers such as the University of Florida, Duke, University of California, and Harvard Medical School, patients confronting life-threatening illness and depression are using art, writing, music, and Dance to heal body and soul.

A woman suffering from depression following her divorce learns to dance for the first time in her life--and in he body's movement she rediscovers a sense of play and joy. A musician gives meaning to his art by helping people with illness transform their life through music. Physicians and nurses are beginning to use creativity to complement and enhance their medical practice.
  
  Creative Healing presents readers with the inspiring ways in which the arts (painting, writing, music, and dance) can free the spirit to heal. In one volume, the authors detail the transformative power of a diverse range of artistic activity.
  
  Because there lies an artist and healer within each of us, Creative Healing is an invaluable resource for anyone wishing to discover the beauty of music, dance, writing or art and connect with a deeper part of oneself. Filled with inspiration and guidance, it will help you make changes in your life and the lives of others and gain access to the sacred place where inner peace exists.
