Joyful and alive. A Path for Parents is for anyone interested in spiritual life within the context of parenting — Buddhists and non-Buddhists alike. It is a refreshingly honest and accessible account of how parents can grow spiritually among the everyday experiences of life with children.

Sara Burns, mother and Buddhist practitioner, draws on her personal experience and research with Buddhist parents to identify the key opportunities and obstacles for growth inherent within parenting:

* Loving and letting go
* Giving, yet more giving … and the need for time out
* Learning what presses our buttons - and what to do
* Dealing creatively even with the bits you don’t like
* Transforming everyday tasks into spiritual practice

We are trying not to separate 'spiritual' aspects of ourselves or activities from the day-to-day realities of raising children, housework and earning a living. After all, if we don’t explore, honour and live our spiritual aspirations now, when will we do so?
