Fear is the basis of discord and discrimination in the world.

UPROOTING FEAR

The Heart's Accidental Journey to the Divine

A timely memoir about overcoming obstacles, leaps of faith, and breakthrough episodes that nurture the inspiration needed to push forward on our individual and collective journeys.

A profoundly passionate memoir celebrating the discovery of spiritual strength and recognition of signs from the divine. Camacho-Maas begins with tracing her distressing early years in Bogotá, Colombia. Her father’s violence led her to construct an independent life at a rather young age. Once out in a world promising adventure, awareness, and freedom, Camacho-Maas took one faith-based step at a time, plunging into the arms of divinity and exploring the secrets of nature.

Camacho-Maas employs concise and effective writing as she shares earnest autobiographical accounts in episodic, intimate, and reflective observations that support her evolving intuitions and worldview. She sees fear as the basis of discord and discrimination in the world. Her easygoing sophistication makes the analysis of her revelations accessible while she probes the deeper meaning behind each experience. She does not shy away from discussing her mental health struggles, repressed anguish, and emotional burnouts with gentle sensitivity, seamlessly blending her interpersonal, psychological, and spiritual experiences in the later chapters.

Camacho-Maas’s lessons in the healing and dismantling of the self are profound and make her journey feel both mystical and wholesome.

Uprooting Fear is a memoir of spiritual seeking and a perfect fit for readers looking for storytelling with a transcendental quality.

Mystical and wholesome, but also candid and courageous. Aura’s storytelling is so easy to read. We should probably all examine our own journeys. Her cultural insights and work with children and educators are very interesting.

A poignantly touching book with flawless and uplifting semantics and quality of content.

In any time, and certainly at this time -Uprooting Fear, The Heart’s Accidental Journey to the Divine- a study of introspection, fear, and revelation challenges us as individuals to consider how we are doing – or perhaps e precisely – how we are being.

This book offers a path to recognize and reconcile our fears and the tensions between the wants of our minds and the needs of our soul. It’s an encouragement to sincerely explore ourselves at a deep level and nurture the best in us to heal individually and collectively.

This book is a testament to those who have overcome a difficult upbringing to find their spiritual purpose.

The early life of the author is nothing short of brutal and readers will be left in awe of the strength of her spirit, survival instincts and drive toward her own enlightenment, despite personal suffering. She commits to her spiritual path and her book vividly documents both her journey and the accomplishments that followed. Through this book as well as her blog, she continues helping people further their own journey toward personal enlightenment.

Truly Inspirational!

I enjoyed reading this book. The author's painful family life and early educational experiences were deeply felt. Her spiritual journey and getting in touch with her moral compass can be a guide for us all. The final chapter (Transcendence) ties her message of hope and living through one's heart together.
