What if your life doesn't begin at birth—but unfolds over countless lifetimes, connected by an invisible thread?In this first book of the series The Story of a Thousand Lifetimes, Joy takes you on a deeply personal and spiritual journey. When her seemingly ordinary existence cracks under the pressure of inner questions, she is unexpectedly drawn into the depths.Through intense ayahuasca ceremonies, visionary encounters with guides, and confronting relationships with loved ones, she uncovers her true Self, layer by layer. Between heaven and earth, loss and liberation, a mysterious path unfolds—full of ancient promises, karmic connections, and a soul mission that extends beyond this one life.This is not a manual for enlightenment, but a living account of transformation. A book that doesn't explain, but breaks open.The Return of the Healers was previously published in 2012 (in Dutch). This edition is a completely revised version.
