Freeing Yourself from the Seven Activist Addictions

A must-read for anyone who has ever felt devotional about serving this ailing world …

Edveeje Fairchild
Women are alchemical butterflies. Our souls need a cocoon in which to disintegrate, transform, and emerge as someone more like ourselves. Someone magical. Someone with wings. As an oracular activist my books encourage, inspire, and celebrate women leaders of the Great Restoration to follow their deep joy as a revolutionary act of sacred and embodied feminine leadership that protects, nurtures, and restores Nature.
I left my beloved seaside village of Magnolia Massachusetts because I was summoned by The Mother Forest of North Carolina. Here I have rooted and grown my life in partnership with the land, living simply and nestled in a 680 square foot cabin in a high mountain river valley.

Edveeje’s Next Book
In a world permeated by seven cultural addictions (sacrifice, suffering, control, busyness, struggle, drama, and effort) Rest has become a four letter word.
Part memoir, part how to, and part field guide, this book explores the power of Sabbatical to transform your life, vocation, and relationships as you recreate your world through the spiritual alchemy of rest.
Edveeje carries mountain magic in her soul. Having worked with her for years and experienced first-hand how deeply she embodies nature’s tides, the ritual of Sabbath, pure presence and positivity, passionate love of beauty and emergent wisdom, I hold her as a true life guide for following your bliss. Edveeje is a glorious seeker and teacher, writer and homesteader, poet and facilitator. Any journey taken with her, will leave you more deeply in love with the gift of being alive.
Clare Dubois, founder, TreeSisters
I’ve never read anything like this book. It’s so crystal clear in regards to how our society has gone wrong and why the NGSs are not succeeding. So many important insights and aha-moments. It made me laugh and cry. A deeply touching book with soul-deep revelations.
