Holiday Gift for “Peace On Earth, Good Will To Men (Women)” with the bestseller “Living Namaste: Photography and Spoken Word Poetry”

“Living Namaste: Photography and Spoken Word Poetry​” made it to the Number 1 Bestseller spot on Amazon in the categories of Travel Writing and 90 Minute Travel Short Reads in the very first week it was launched. One small yet powerful mindfulness technique has the power to transform relationships near and far.

At a time when images of violence and words of division cut into the soul of humanity, authors Beer and Schwabenland have used the art forms of spoken word poetry and photography as a way to reconnect with honor, respect and dignity. It all begins with the conscious awareness of the first words spoken in welcome…a simple but profound act of mindfulness. Around the world, the greeting carries wishes for health, happiness, peace and prosperity.

Beer and Schwabenland set forth on an amazing path of beautiful discoveries and wise transformations when the greeting is lived out and fear is countered with enthusiastic curiosity and welcome. Consistent 5 star ratings on Amazon. Partial proceeds from the sale of this book will go to ​Doctors Without Borders and The Untours Foundation​.

“The poetry and photography in ‘Living Namaste’ are a celebration of world culture and the power of travel. Authors Schwabenland and Beer delight in the rich diversity of the human experience that travel reveals to us, but they also remind us, in verse and in image, that underneath this diversity is the commonality of the human spirit. No matter what we look like, what religion we follow, what clothes we wear or rituals we perform, the one unifying thread of our common humanity is to love one another and to appreciate the moment in every encounter. This is a refreshing and powerful book about gratitude and appreciation, and one that can be read with equally beneficial effects before heading out on a trip around the world or around the corner to the grocery store!” – Bob Krist, National Geographic Photographer, Sony Artisan of Imagery.
