Living with Spirit, Journey of a Flower Child (2009)

Peggy Kornegger’s book Living with Spirt: Journey of a Flower Child was published in 2009 by Dog Ear Publishing. This book gives an answer to the question, what happened to the flower children and activists of the 1960s movements? This book can be described as an ever moving transformation and spiritual awakening in Kornegger herself as a flower child of the 1960s, growing up in an era of peace and love. This unique perspective from Kornegger from a flower child to a feminist activist to a present day spiritual seeker gives us an individual’s perspective and personal story on spiritual awakening. Her self described “metamorphosis” has been accomplished through many experiences described in this book such as swimming with wild dolphins and whales in the ocean, visiting sacred sites such as Tulum and Machu Picchu, and studying with Maya elders in Guatemala. This idea of “Living with spirit” is present throughout the entire book leading from how she has experienced it to how everyone can.

As well as: “if it were up to you to choose (and it is), how would you want to live?” From her own personal experiences, Peggy describes the key to creating a peaceful world that everyone can live in harmoniously is by confronting areas of everyday life with love.
