The new final chapters address improvised arts as a powerful spiritual ritual and eco-activism practice, with instructions on implementation. The Complete PFTS is essential for anyone interested in how authentic creativity can reenchant and heal our ailing world. It is a call for art activism as a catalyst for cultural transformation.
