RE LEASE + BE COME

About the Book

Release and Become models the healing journey of a woman who found herself in an artist’s work and the artist who chose to live his purpose through suffusing healing energies into his work. It is a universal story of letting go (releasing), receiving, and healing. Al Johnson, a celebrated artist from childhood, surrenders his works in service of exploring and mining the depths of consciousness. His paintings are potent gifts and reminders of the myriad opportunities for healing available to us. Barbara Bullard, born during a balsamic moon, once found herself misunderstood, betrayed, and homeless. From this place, Barbara has paved a path of discovery from the streets of New York to the Tibetan monasteries of the Himalayas. Her life’s work has been a mapmaking of transformational territories, using the physical and spiritual healing properties of essential oils and meditation.
