Synopsis

This book introduces the history of the Taino Indians. Columbus came to Puerto Rico on his second voyage to the New World in 1493. There he found the Taino Indians, who mistakenly showed him the local abundance and wealth. Their fate was doomed ever since. The Taino Indians were not a laborious race to begin with. But after Puerto Rico was established as a colonial stronghold, they survived poverty, plagues and hurricanes on their own.

    Workbook: What Happened to You? (Oprah Winfrey and Bruce Perry) 
    In a powerful and compelling conversation, Oprah and Dr. Perry discuss the importance of our past in shaping us and why asking “What’s wrong with you?” might be an unhelpful and misguided question. They propose shifting the focus to “What happened to you?” instead. This may seem simple, but it has been groundbreaking in changing the way we understand and think about trauma, which in turn has offered a significantly more optimistic approach to recovery. But this is just one of the core messages of Oprah and Dr. Perry’s book. Want to know what the other core messages are? 
    “Workbook: What Happened to You?” not only provides all the powerful ideas, practices, and concepts that Oprah and Dr. Perry discuss in their original book in a clear and concise format, but it also offers interactive exercises, reflective and thought-provoking questions, tools, resources for healing, and supplementary information; all designed to enrich your understanding and help you apply what you’ve read. 
    You will get:A powerful combination of storytelling and the latest research on neuroscience and traumatology.Shocking facts about trauma, information on different methods of treatment, and much more!An immersive experience that will bridge the gap between the book's teachings and your own life. 
    While it is beneficial to have read their original work, it’s not compulsory, as this workbook will provide you with all the information you need to engage with the topic and exercises. Don't miss out on the combined wisdom of these two giants.

    Autumn was a magical time in Finland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. Estonia and Finland belong to the same language family (Finno-Ugric languages) but the similarities of these old autumn time festivals in these four countries are strikingly similar. 
    In this course, we will touch on some of the important Finnish and Baltic gods and deities that were connected to harvest and fertility. What happened during All Hallow´s Eve, and how in all these cultures, there was a special time period that was completely dedicated to honouring the ancestors and remember those who had passed away. 
    Several of these old festivals are no longer celebrated, but some of them like Finnish Kekri and Mardipäev in Estonia, still hold certain traditions that have lived on ´till today. 
    This course can help you to build a deeper understanding of the world view of ancient Baltic and Finno-Ugric tribes and the society that was based on agriculture. 
    - You will learn about the importance of family and honouring the ancestors. 
    -Names of these festivals, and when they were celebrated. 
    -Different magical rituals and spells were performed during these holidays. 
    - You will learn why the forest was such an important place in the past and home to many myths 
    -How the spirits were invited to be part of these festivities. 
    By the end of this course, you have a better understanding of folklore and the connections that these cultures had with one another.
