Q Illuminating Spirit in the World !
Welcome to Amber Lotus
Peaceful greetings from your friends at Amber Lotus Publishing
The poet William Blake said, “If the doors of perception were cleansed
everything would appear to man as it is, infinite.” From atoms to the
palm of your hand to the cosmos, we are all living in a miracle we are
also participating in. Since 1988 it has been our great joy to illuminate
spirit in the world one day at a time. We take our mission seriously,
and we take our environmental responsibility seriously, but we try to
take ourselves less so. We love what we do, and we hope it shows
here in our new catalog.

Wanderlust
Trekking the Road Less Traveled
Celebrate the call of the open road with the
Wanderlust: Trekking the Road Less Traveled wall
calendar. Wanderlust illuminates the spirit of walking
and the lure of adventures that await those who veer
off the beaten path. Spectacular photographs of lesstraveled paths are paired with quotes from great
walking enthusiasts past and present, including John
Muir, Gary Snyder, and Henry David Thoreau.
For all our technological advances, we have not
lost the yearning for a deep connection with our
natural world. One of the surest ways to rekindle
that relationship is the simple act of walking – not
with thoughts of arriving somewhere but for the
sole purpose, and sheer enjoyment, of walking –
to encounter nature with a genuine and wakeful
curiosity. Enjoy a year of adventure and awakening
with Wanderlust.

Earth Is My Witness
New !
Spiritual Ecology: Honoring
the
by
Art Wolfe
Sacredness
of
Nature
When asked who would testify that he was worthy
of attaining enlightenment, the Buddha placed his
hand upon the ground and declared, “The earth is
my witness.” In this simple act, the Buddha accepted
the earth as it is, not possessing it but understanding
his connection to it.
Humans, nature, and the cosmos are all deeply
interconnected. But we humans have lost sight of
this, and in doing so have put our planetary health
at risk. Spiritual Ecology is a heartfelt response to our
shared environmental crisis. It is the understanding of
our interdependency and an honoring of the divine
in all things. It is the foundation for the healing of
our planet.
The Earth Is My Witness wall calendar features
the breathtaking photography of Art Wolfe paired
with insightful quotes that illuminate the balance
between humanity, the earth, and the universe.
Wolfe’s photographs, a retrospective collection from
his 40-year career, shine a magisterial light on the
earth and our relationship with it.

deepest self by living fully, and intensely, in the Now.
Amber Lotus Publishing is proud to partner with New
World Library to produce The Power of Now wall
calendar.
Each month pairs wisdom quotes by Tolle with
spectacular nature photography. The twelve images

moment all year long.

Faerie Houses
By Sally J. Smith
A fanciful flower-roofed cottage in an enchanted
spring­time wood. A summertime retreat set amid vivid
green mosses beside a babbling brook. A delicate
dwelling glowing with russet leaves in a mystical
autumn twilight. A crystal ice villa rising like a jewel
from a winter lake. Each month, the Faerie Houses wall
calendar reveals a magical world where imagination
can find a home.
Celebrated environmental artist Sally J. Smith
builds her exquisite creations from materials found in
the wild. Each house begins as a collection of bark,
twigs, mosses, stones, and other treasures from nature
that call out to be included. Fragile blossoms, ferns,
and butterfly wings add to their ethereal beauty.
When complete, the houses are placed back in their
natural setting so perfectly that they were surely made
by faerie hands. At any moment, a tiny occupant may
open the door and emerge to spread her shimmering
wings in the sunshine.

Yoga Meditations
Artwork
by
Elena R ay
Yoga harmonizes all aspects of the human experi­
ence. Yoga means union – of the secular with
the sacred and the physical with the spiritual. In a
yogic practice, the body, mind, and spirit compose
a holistic system connected through the breath.
These principles are beautifully illustrated in the Yoga
Meditations wall calendar, featuring mixed-media
art by Elena Ray. The visual themes explore yoga
postures as well as symbolic subjects – the expansive
transformation of butterfly wings, the inward journey
through the spiral of a nautilus shell, and the quiet
receptivity of an empty bowl. The accompanying
quotes from ancient and contemporary yoga masters
open the heart to universal wisdom and enhance
the practitioner’s potential of meeting yoga’s greatest
goal: the realization of one’s deepest nature. In the
words of the great yogi Paramahansa Yogananda,
“You will then be guided by the great creative power
of Spirit.”

Bicycle Bliss
New !
When traveling by car, one observes nature; when
traveling by bike, one is part of nature. More than
mere transportation, cycling is recreation, exercise,
adventure, exploration, meditation, and a means of
connecting with the physical world. Senses become
heightened while muscles push and pull. Colors
somehow seem brighter and smells more intense.
Whether for an afternoon, weekend, cross-country,
or around-the-world trip, bicycling provides the
traveler a unique perspective on the landscape.
Bliss is found pedaling down that perfect road, the
one with the consummate balance of curves, hills,
and scenery. Celebrate the joy of biking with these
images from the open road and quotes from cyclists
seeking their bliss, for the journey matters more than
the destination.

Steampunk
The Art
of
Sam Van Olffen
From its early beginnings in the 1980s, Steampunk
has evolved from a little-known subgenre of science
fiction into a cultural phenomenon. As a literary
tradition, it pays homage to the worlds envisioned
by writers like H. G. Wells and Jules Verne, where
anachronistic machines shape human destiny in
steam-powered visions of alternate realities. As a
design aesthetic, it is heavily influenced by surrealism
and cyberpunk. Steampunk combines the historical
with the futuristic, mingling straitlaced Victorian-era
sensibilities with space-age technology. Think red
velvet curtains and mahogany paneling, and then add
a heavy sprinkling of spy gadgets and time travel.
From books and movies to fashion and art, the
Steampunk movement has made an indelible mark
on contemporary popular culture. The Steampunk
wall calendar features the dramatic retro-futuristic
creations of French artist Sam Van Olffen, whose timebending imagery illustrates the jarring juxtapositions
at the heart of the Steampunk aesthetic.

Day
of the
Sugar Skulls
Dead
The Mexican celebration of the Day of the Dead has
entered mainstream popular culture with a colorful
splash, with images of sugar skulls appearing on
everything from apparel to jewelry and tattoos. The
art of handcrafting sugar skulls and decorating them
with colorful paint and sparkling embellishments
has been passed down through generations of folk
artists. In Day of the Dead celebrations, these small
sculptures serve as gifts to the living and adorn the
altars of the deceased.
Art inspired by sugar skulls is abundant and
diverse. Contemporary artists draw on this rich
tradition while demonstrating a remarkable variety of
artistic styles. With their toothy grins and bold hues,
the sugar skulls featured in the Day of the Dead wall
calendar pay homage to the ancestors and are a
vibrant tribute to life and this living folk tradition.

Power

Whether naturally occurring or built by human hands,
the sacred sites of the ancient Celts are stunning in
their beauty and diversity. From geographic features
like waterfalls and basalt caves to giant chalk hill
carvings and famous megaliths such as the Callanish
Stones, these “thin places” – doorways to another
realm, divine places of spiritual awakening – are
steeped in myth and legend.
The Sacred Celtic Sites wall calendar will take
you on a magical journey to the most hallowed
places in Britain and Ireland. Mara Freeman, an
expert on Celtic spiritual and sacred traditions, guides
you through timeless monuments that are as aweinspiring today as they must have been millennia
ago. Each month offers a luminous photograph
accompanied by an informative history of the site
and its significance to the ancient Celts, who left their
enduring signature on these incredible wonders.

On Sacred Ground
Places
of
Prayer
and
Meditation
Since the dawn of civilization, human beings have
recognized and responded to the pull of sacred
ground. It is an intrigue that transcends all boundaries
of religion, ethnicity, and geography. All cultures of
the world have sacred places as diverse as the
societies that sanctify them, where people encounter
and commune with the divine. It may be a house
of worship or a place in nature. It may be sacred by
virtue of its natural properties or made so through
ritual and tradition.
The On Sacred Ground wall calendar pays
homage to the holy ground of the world’s great
religions. From a snow-covered Taoist monastery
high in the mountains of China to a colorful church
on the Greek island of Santorini, each month you
will be transported to a mystical site where spirit
dwells. However divergent, all religions have a
common ground in sacred ground, in the practice
of consecrating places for spiritual awakening and
building monuments in praise of the divine.

The joy of chicken keeping is sweeping through cities
across the nation. Why let the country folk have
all the fun? These days all sorts of city dwellers are
raising chickens: animal lovers prize them as pets,
locavores and Slow Food enthusiasts dig the fresh
eggs, and environmentalists see chickens as part of
a sustainable lifestyle. Even kids are getting in on the
fun! The benefits of this trend are egg-straordinary,
and having garden-fresh eggs – blue- or buff-shelled
with deep-yellow yolks, tender whites, and rich
flavor – is just one of them.
With colorful photography by Susan Seubert,
the whimsical City Chickens & Their Coops wall
calendar features twelve months of feathered friends
and their distinctive digs. From contemporary
to classical, these mini manors feature recycled
and reclaimed building materials and sustainable
innovations such as green roofs. These beaked
buddies and their clever, quirky coops will keep
your feathers fluffed all year long.

Recipes & Tips
Table
by
Ann Lovejoy
Anyone who has ever plucked a tomato straight off
the vine or cracked open a farm-fresh egg knows
there is a world of difference between locally
grown produce and food from the supermarket
shelves. The farm-to-table movement, embraced by
the burgeoning ranks of locavore and Slow Food
enthusiasts, is flourishing for many reasons. With
every delicious bite, you are supporting your local
economy, reducing your environmental footprint,
providing your body with wholesome nutrients, and
forging a deeper connection with the rhythms of the
seasons.
You don’t have to be a farmer to enjoy the
many benefits of local and seasonal foods. Home
gardens, farmers markets, CSAs, and foraging all
offer opportunities to enjoy the bounty. From local
orchards and Concord grapes to artisan breads
and goat’s milk products, the Farm to Table wall
calendar is packed with luscious photographs and
valuable tips on selecting, preserving, and preparing
fresh local foods. With beloved garden writer Ann
Lovejoy as your guide, it will help you savor the best
of every season.

The Buzz
on the
Busy Life
of
Bees
Beekeeping is all the buzz! This ancient practice has
surged in popularity in recent years as urbanites and
rural residents alike rediscover the many benefits
of keeping bees. Bees are a symbol of nature and of
industry and productivity. Humans have been keeping
bees for millennia, recognizing the insects’ value in
agriculture and seeing something like ourselves
in their orderly society and the geometric beauty of
the homes they build. Bees are an essential part
of the earth’s ecosystem, with their services as
pollinators directly linked to the world’s food supplies.
Known as peaceful and industrious creatures, bees
reward their keepers with everything from increased
garden bounty to jars of golden honey.
Packed full of fun facts and gorgeous photo­
graphs, the Bee Happy wall calendar is a celebration
of bees and everything about them – the flowers
that feed them, the hives that house them, and the
universal benefits they bestow on humankind.

Hafiz
Versions
by
Divine Offerings
Daniel Ladinsky • Artwork
by
Silas Toball
The poems of Hafiz, the esteemed fourteenthcentury Sufi poet, are among the timeless treasures
of world literature. In his native Persia (modern Iran)
Hafiz is as alive and accessible today as he was to
his contemporaries. Rather than being seen as stuffy
classical literature from the remote past, his work is
cherished as wisdom from a dear and intimate friend.
His ecstatic love songs celebrate the beauty of the
Beloved and playfully illuminate the sacredness of
the world.
These modern versions, from A Year With Hafiz:
Daily Contemplations by Daniel Ladinsky, bring to
life all the tenderness, wit, and lyrical beauty of the
original verses. The poetry is paired with stunning
collage artwork by Silas Toball of Duirwaigh
Studios, whose lush imagery and rich color palette
are inspired by the venerable tradition of Persian
miniatures with a decidedly contemporary touch.
The Hafiz wall calendar is a jewel box of beauty
and inspiration, honoring the relevance and reach of
this ageless poet.

Celtic Blessings
Illuminations
by
Michael Green
It is often overlooked that Celtic art is iconic for
two very different worldviews: primeval Christianity
and Paganism / New Age. Celtic art and spirituality
bridge an overlap between these two cultures. Both
cultures can learn from their differences, ultimately
supporting and nourishing the spiritual aspirations
of each. Michael Green’s Celtic Blessings wall
calendar is a masterful marriage of these two worlds.
Based on Celtic themes and early Irish Christian
illuminated manuscripts, Green’s art reenvisions
these genres into a stunning modern look that is
firmly rooted in the past.
At various times in his life, Green has been a
wandering monk, artist and craftsman, television
art director, architect, illustrator, and author. His
books include The I Ching Journals, The Illuminated
Rumi, The Illuminated Prayer, and The Unicornis
Manuscripts.

Zen Cat
Paintings
and
Poetry
by
Nicholas K irsten-Honshin
The Zen Cat wall calendar is a meditation in art and
words on the sacredness and interconnectedness of
all life. Artist and author Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin
uses painting and poetry to communicate a message
from the pure heart of the universe.
In Honshin’s own words, here is the story as it
happened: “While I was quietly reading the Lotus
Sutra, the Original Zen Cat, Miss Kitty, climbed onto
my lap. As I continued to read, I became aware that
her mind and mine were becoming one. She wanted
me to read aloud to her. So I did. There she sat in
meditation focused on the teachings as I read. Her
appreciation and obvious understanding opened
my own mind and heart to the oneness that exists,
connecting all living beings in the gentle love and
compassion that is in every precious moment.”
Honshin’s art is featured in the Thich Nhat Hanh
wall calendar (page 11), engagement calendar (page
62), and mini calendar (page 61). The Meditational
Art of Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin greeting cards are
also available. Visit www.amberlotus.com for more

The mind of Zen Buddhism is revealed through
authentic sacred art and profoundly simple wisdom.
Zenga art – Zen-inspired brushstroke paintings –
surprises and confounds our expectations. Although
created by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century
monks who were amateur painters, they have a

preeminent collections in the West.
Each month, the Zen Mind wall calendar features
a Zenga masterwork paired with a quote from Not
Always So or Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness
by Shunryu Suzuki (1905–1971). Suzuki-roshi was
considered one of the most influential Zen teachers
of his time and was a direct spiritual descendant of

Environmental Art
Contemporary Art
in the
Natural World
As one of the most exciting art movements of our
time, environmental art celebrates our connection to
the natural world through beauty, science, metaphor,
and ecological restoration. It encompasses a surpris­
ing landscape of approaches, from ephemeral “art
in nature” sculptures designed to last only a few
hours before returning to the earth to communitybased “eco-art” installations that clean up polluted
watersheds and promote public understanding of
local and global environmental issues.
The projects featured in the Environmental Art
wall calendar provide a sampling of some of the latest
developments in this field to stimulate the imagination
and promote the role of art in the creation of a more
sustainable world culture.

Moment of Decision
In “Moment of Decision,” the viewer
enters a world frozen in time, a magical
world where even gravity doesn’t obey the
rules. The silence of the snowy landscape
and the low slanting light of a Swedish
winter add to the sense of mystery.

Green Patriot
Posters
for
Environmental Activism
The Green Patriot wall calendar is a collection
of outstanding contemporary posters promoting
sustainability and the fight against climate change.
These dynamic posters, which never rest on the tired
slogans of the past (such as “Save the Earth”), show
that graphic design does not passively respond to the
zeitgeist – it helps shape it.
This calendar is based on Green Patriot Posters,
published by Metropolis Books in association with
The Canary Project and the Environmental Defense
Fund. The inspiration for the project first came
from the Works Progress Administration (WPA) and
posters from the World War II era, when transforming
consumption habits and conserving resources
became patriotic. The work here is a rallying cry
and a potent tool for communication and social
transformation.

Tree Huggers
The term “Tree Hugger” has been wholeheartedly
embraced by eco-conscious citizens, environmen­
talists and other arboreal admirers. Proud of their
inclinations to embrace these awe-inspiring giants,
some tree huggers have even allowed themselves to
be photographed in the act.
With global deforestation continuing at breakneck speed, there has never been a better time to
grab a tree and hold on tight. The forests of the
world provide essential habitat for countless species,
including human beings. They supply the very air
we breathe.
There are a lot of good reasons to love trees,
whether for their majesty and diversity as living
creatures or because of their crucial role in the
global ecosystem. Whatever your reason, the Tree
Huggers wall calendar will affirm your tree-hugger
status and remind us all of our admiration for these
stately neighbors while taking a whimsical look at our
ongoing love affair with them.

Land Art
The Environmental Art
of
Sally J. Smith
Since the late 1960s, artists in the land art movement
have been creating art in nature, composed primarily
of the natural elements available at hand. Materials
such as rocks, leaves, and water are the medium, and
the terrain is the canvas. Intentionally impermanent,
these works are created and then left to change,
erode, and eventually be reclaimed by the elements.
The 2015 edition of the Land Art wall calendar
presents the “Eartherial” sculptures of environmental
artist Sally J. Smith, whose work focuses on the
simple beauty of the natural world. Created entirely
of found materials and built on-site, these sculptures
have a subtle rhythm and are in complete harmony
with their surrounding landscapes.
Smith is also the creator of the Faerie Houses
wall calendar (page 6).

Dandinet with New Moon
This impossibly delicate structure that quivered
in the slightest breeze began with a net of
reeds pinned together using hawthorn thorns.
Dandelion seed heads were carefully picked
from the surrounding meadow and breathlessly
mounted on the ring of inward-pointing thorns,
forming a lacy wreath to encircle the faintest
sliver of the brand-new moon.

Photographs
by
Tony Stromberg
Through his luminous photography of horses, Tony
Stromberg works to bridge what he calls “modern
life’s disturbing separation between people and
nature.” The gorgeous Spirit Horses wall calendar
is filled with extraordinary portraits of horses, both
wild and domestic, paired with quotations from
teachers and writers exploring equine wisdom and its
intersection with spirituality.
Creator of the books Spirit Horses (2005) and

World Library, Stromberg believes that horses can
be profound teachers, bringing deep awareness to
a world dangerously out of balance. Amber Lotus is
proud to partner with New World Library to produce
this intimate look at humankind’s most enduring
companion.

The Haunted Realm
By Sir Simon Marsden
From the very beginning of recorded time, all great
civilizations have believed in the supernatural in
some form or another. Sir Simon Marsden’s startlingly
atmospheric black-and-white infrared photographs
reveal this hidden world, and his ghostly and
beguiling images transport the reader to a different
realm – a haunted realm. In The Haunted Realm wall
calendar, Marsden’s photographs are accompanied
by literary excerpts and historical accounts as well
as tales of apparitions that have been reported at the
sites and the strange events said to lie behind them.
Marsden, an internationally acclaimed photo­
grapher and writer, passed away in 2012. His
work can be found in the J. Paul Getty Museum
in California and in London’s Victoria and Albert
Museum. His books include This Spectred Isle, The
Haunted Realm, and The Journal of a Ghosthunter.
His final book, Russia: A World Apart, was published
posthumously in 2013.

For the 2015 Healing Mandalas wall calendar, artists
Bonnie Gold Bell and David Sun Todd have created
mandalas to embody Blessings for Deep Serenity.
These images are created from photographs of natural
elements like flowers, feathers, and seashells. Each
mandala is accompanied by a blessing that evokes
inner peace. The inspirational words and images
provide a graceful means for releasing the stresses of
life and resting in deep serenity.
Bell and Todd’s purpose in creating art is to help
people envision and co-create a bright future. Each
of their images opens a visual portal into an uplifted
world. Their work appears in books, notecards, and
an oracle deck as well as in e-books and meditation
videos. They teach people how to work with their
images for personal and global healing.
Artist Laurel Burch said of the duo, “They capture
things far beyond the physical world and make them
accessible to so many, in such a beautiful form.”

Lakota hunters rode horses specially trained
to pursue the powerful bison. These hunters
carried sinew-backed ash wood bows
with arrows made from chokecherry stalks
or long lances made of young pine. But to
feed and provide for their families, their
greatest weapon could not be seen, one
that gave them the will to never turn aside
from the hunt: perseverance.

Fractal Cosmos
The Art
of
Alice K elley
Fractals are the visual depictions of mathematical
equations – the same equations, in fact, that describe
natural phenomena such as coastlines, plant shapes,
and weather patterns. A computer program assigns a
color to each point in the image based on the answers
to a chosen equation, which then results in abstract
fractal shapes. Dozens of variables are manipulated
to create these fascinating images.
The Fractal Cosmos wall calendar features the
organic designs of Alice Kelley, who says, “Fractals
are an intuitive glimpse into the infinite order that
composes the natural world, as well as proof that
math is beautiful.”

Dogs are loyal, lovable, and masters of living in the
moment. With our help, they can be even stronger,
smarter, and more earth friendly – not to mention
healthier, happier, and better canine citizens.
The Healthy Dog wall calendar teaches us
what our dogs should really be eating, learning, and
doing. Full of adorable laugh-out-loud photos, it has
everything to guide us on the path to being a better
companion to our dogs. Each month features tips,
techniques, and guidance for dog parents, from ecofriendly DIY projects to plenty of natural homemade
remedies – and a dash of dog psychology, too.
D. Caroline Coile, PhD, is an award-winning
writer of hundreds of articles and 34 books, including
Barron’s Encyclopedia of Dog Breeds. Her research
interests include canine behavior and physiology, and
she has been interviewed on NPR’s Talk of the Nation

Sacred Lakes and Mountains • International Campaign for Tibet
For centuries Tibetans have looked upon their
homeland as sacred, eliciting a special connection
that is deep and strong. The breathtakingly beautiful
landscape of crystal-blue lakes, high peaks, and pure
earth has profoundly helped cultivate the spiritual lives
of the Tibetan people for generations. Pilgrimages to
sacred places in Tibet are a cultural phenomenon
with religious, social, political, and even ecological
significance. Every Tibetan goes on a pilgrimage at
some point in life, and in doing so will become a
Nekorwa (“one who goes around a sacred place”).
The International Campaign for Tibet’s (ICT)
2015 calendar aims to provide a glimpse of some
of the myriad sacred and special sites for Tibetans.
Your purchase of this calendar provides funds for ICT
to further its work to promote the human rights and
democratic freedoms for the people of Tibet. Please
visit www.savetibet.org for more information.

Heart of the Beloved • Translations by Coleman Barks
Jelaluddin Rumi (1207–1273) was a master of ecstatic
poetry. His illuminating words have inspired countless
people throughout history, and today, thanks to the
magical translations of Coleman Barks, Rumi’s poetry
is more popular than ever.
In the Rumi: Heart of the Beloved wall calendar,
Barks’s translations are paired with exquisite Persian
miniatures. The rich intricacy of the artwork
complements Rumi’s mystical metaphors, in which
the yearning for the divine beloved represents the
soul’s quest for wholeness.
Sample text:
No better love than love with no object,
no more satisfying work than work
with no purpose.
If you could give up tricks and cleverness,
that would be the cleverest trick!
