Nashville, TN - April 7, 2022 — Now a best-selling book on Amazon, just released Shaman Heart: Turning Pain into Passion and Purpose, is a new book from Brave Healer Productions that invites readers to develop a shaman heart — one that can only be obtained by coming through our darkest moments more healed and whole, and then lighting the way for others. As the anthology’s lead author, singer-songwriter, recording artist, and teacher Stephanie Urbina Jones writes, “Whether it’s a death of a loved one, divorce, illness, or depression, we can turn our pain into an initiation and be a sacred witness or messenger in these bittersweet, crossroad moments in life. From this place of humbled, broken-open wisdom and grace, we can then walk with others and assist them as they journey through their own darkness to the dawn of a new beginning.”
A prolific songwriter and artist, Jones is currently preparing to release her next album, Manuel’s Destiny. The project is a multi-generational concept album celebrating her heritage in song. The inspiration and story of the album is woven into her chapter, entitled “Manuel’s Destiny and the Faith to Fly." Jones details her journey through the pain she experienced as a child having to hide her Mexican roots and how that pain led to her passion and purpose, and then to make history as a Latina country recording artist, and now, best-selling author. In her chapter, Jones shares her experience of the sadness and depression she felt as a child of trauma, rocking herself to sleep with her favorite records. That pain led to her carving out her dreams and songs, eventually becoming a number one Billboard country songwriter; and a vision and passion to share and celebrate her Hispanic roots, creating her brand, “Honky Tonk Mariachi, and becoming the first artist to bring mariachi to the Grand Ole Opry.
The genesis for Shaman Heart occurred on January 5, when Jones and 25 other leading spiritual teachers, preachers, and healers whose stories are contained in the book spent a week together at the Dreaming House in Teotihuacan, Mexico; an impressive feat given that they did so despite a raging pandemic, snowstorms, wildfires, and canceled flights.
“Each author was invited to surrender through ceremony and initiation while writing and carving out their powerful truths,” explains Brave Healer CEO Laura Di Franco. “They faced hell, walked on fire, danced, and breathed into their soul’s purpose. They remembered their divinity and awakened their shaman hearts.” Their collective prayer is that these brave words and stories will touch and inspire the reader to follow their own shaman heart and serve as a reminder that we are not alone.
