Seven Pathways to the Ancestral Basque Homeland are an integration of this universal ancestral journey-a road map of living Basque folklore, connected to the major areas of life, with life lessons from nature and perennial wisdoms, daily life actions (sun), character attributes and inner qualities (moon), the cycles of seasons and everyday tools for building one's life dream.
The Seven in One Way short documentary is now available on youtube with subtitles in Euskara (Basque). Click cc for subtitles/captions.
"The Seven Pathways, are just that; obvious yet often overlooked. By integrating each of the pathways into everyday life, we see that each moment is sacred and purposeful".
- Angeles Arrien, PhD, Cultural Anthropologist

Chaque rencontre, qu'elle soit mondaine ou magique, fait partie d’un chemin bien plus long que nous partageons tous. Denise Orpustan-Love nous offre non seulement une ressource qui honore les ancêtres valables dans le temps mais elle met également en lumière les sagesses pérennes du monde afin de guider les générations présentes et futures ».
