Woman Between Worlds
A Call to Your Ancestral and Indigenous Wisdom
Apela Colorado shares her knowledge and experiences of indigenous wisdom and promotes a connection between the indigenous and modern world perspectives.
A ceremonial journey to reconnect with the essence of indigenous spirituality, and awaken to the beauty, power and potential of this wisdom in contemporary society.
Apela Colorado, the inspirational authority on indigenous wisdom, works internationally to preserve the knowledge of indigenous elders from around the world. In this book, she will take you on a journey back in time to reconnect with her ancestors, open a door to indigenous wisdom and healing and reclaim a Creation story for the future.
She shares her experiences as a Native American woman growing up in rural Wisconsin, who stepped out of her tribe to become one of the first Native American women to study at Harvard. Her passion for the indigenous way of life leads her to travel the world, meeting indigenous elders and setting up projects to connect indigenous wisdom with the modern world.
This powerful book contains a unique and magical glimpse into the minds of those elders and will inspire us all to reconnect more closely with our own ancestral wisdom.
‘Apela is the original and world leader in trying to bring together indigenous and modern Western perspectives' — Brian Bates, author and former Chairman of Psychology, University of Sussex, UK.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
