--Stuart A. Goldman, TV Executive producer of the PBS series Joseph Campbell Mythos:
"Ancient Maya culture comes alive in Gabriela Jurosz-Landa’s Transcendent Wisdom of the Maya. The book offers many insights into centuries-old rituals and spirituality which are still lived today by contemporary Maya. Filled with personal observations from fieldwork, the author presents studious thoughts and goes deep into Maya mythology to contrast the Western worldview."
--Rand Flem-Ath, librarian and coauthor of Atlantis beneath the Ice:
"If you suspect that our technologically proficient culture is losing its soul, then dive into Transcendent Wisdom of the Maya where you will find an entrancing alternative to the relentless sense of urgency that dominates our times."
--Itzhak Beery, modern shaman, author of The Gift of Shamanism and Shamanic Healing, and editor of Shamanic Transformations:
"Gabriela Jurosz-Landa’s rich and enlightening book is a surprising spiritual journey to mysterious cultures, an inner self-journey and possibly a road-map for our culture’s future survival. Her destined journey from her native Czechoslovakia to Germany to the USA and Guatemala where she was initiated as a Day-Keeper (Shaman-priestess), is fascinating. The anthropologist generously shares deep knowledge and wisdom of the ancient Mayan heritage as she takes us through the process of her initiation. I highly recommend this superb book."
--Barbara Hand Clow, author of The Mayan Code and Awakening the Planetary Mind:
"Transcendent Wisdom of the Maya bridges the Western scientific worldview and the spiritual world of the Maya brilliantly. Its wonderful photographs and detailed storytelling are very compelling.
I have enjoyed time with the Maya in the Yucatan, and Gabriela’s wonderful stories of weaving, dancing, healing, and divining brought it all back to me as if I’d never left. Her description of her welcoming ceremony by the Quiché Maya is a significant contribution to anthropological literature, and the New Era celebration in 2012 offers hope for our future. This is a heartfelt and genuine story of Maya life, a must-read for understanding their time cycles and culture.”

Poetry book: Who there once was... 9/11 Poems
published September 2021
This collection of ten poems is my contribution to the pain caused for many on September, the 11th.
The poems bursted out of my heart on that day in New York City. Then, they remained in a drawer , since for many years thereafter I was not able to look at them. Now, after twenty years, I so much else has happened in many of our worlds places. so, now I am sharing what is engraved in our memories.
