Saluda, NC -- (SBWIRE) --11/11/2011 -- Divine Arts Media announces the November 2011 release of YEAR ZERO: TIME OF THE GREAT SHIFT by Kiara Windrider.

In YEAR ZERO: TIME OF THE GREAT SHIFT, author, researcher, and transpersonal psychologist Kiara Windrider invites readers to comprehend the idea that time is cyclical, not linear. The year 2012 represents both the end of a great cycle of time and the dawning of a new one.

Drawing on meticulous research as well as personal shamanic experience, Windrider clarifies the ‘big picture’ of planetary evolution from the perspectives of ancient wisdom and modern science. He reveals an intricate interplay between phenomena (such as galactic super-waves, magnetic pole reversals, evolutionary impulses within matter, and the descent of supramental light) shaping a new species of humanity on a rapidly evolving earth.
