In 1983, twenty-one year old Amy Edelstein set out on a solitary 500-kilometer journey through the Zanskar valley. the westernmost corner of the Tibetan plateau. She spent several months walking by foot, crossing passes above 16,000 feet, sleeping in caves, meeting high lamas and monastics, and exploring a culture that had remained virtually the same for thousands of years. This oracle deck (based on the book Adventure in Zanskar) was created from the wisdom she learned about courage, perseverance, kindness, meditation, and awakening. The photos on these cards were all taken by Amy during her epic journey.
Amy Edelstein is the recipient of Nautilus, Ben Franklin, and IPPY awards and has authored six books. She is recognized as a powerful communicator of ideas and beliefs that can help us transform ourselves and the culture we share. Her non-profit has trained 20,000 inner city teens in mindfulness and critical thinking.
