Q Illuminating Spirit in the World !
Welcome to Amber Lotus
Peaceful greetings from your friends at Amber Lotus Publishing
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.

What do art, commerce, service, and 500,000 trees have in common?
They are all an integral part of Amber Lotus’s mission.
We recently reached a significant milestone of planting
a half million trees through our partnership with
Trees for the Future. What began as a simple strategy
in 2008 to offset the trees used to produce our
products has become a fundamental business component.
We are now carbon negative many times over; the trees we
have planted will continue to reduce enough CO2 each year to cover our
annual carbon footprint more than 25 times.
We value the earth, and we recognize the many benefits of tree planting.
In addition to continually removing CO2 from the atmosphere, trees
help restore degraded land, reverse deforestation, improve soil quality,
and augment local living standards. We will continue to plant as many
trees as we can for as long as we can. Please join us in our efforts and
let the earth be your witness, too.

THE

WORDS INSPIRED
OF
BY
FRIDA
FRIDA K AHLO
Artist. Visionary. Provocateur. Feminist. Survivor.
Lover. Fighter. Storyteller. Revolutionary. Frida Kahlo
means many things to many people, but one unifying
theme emerges: Frida is an icon.
In the For the Love of Frida wall calendar, writer
and life-artist Angi Sullins takes you on a journey to
explore your inner Frida. With thoughts and musings
inspired by the icon, Angi challenges you to ignite
your creative fire, shake loose your fears, and boldly
embody your life as a work of art. Twelve provocative
portraits by powerhouse painters, together with Angi’s
enchanting text, channel Frida’s indomitable spirit.
These bewitching portraits will keep you entranced
throughout the year, and they’ll continue to beckon
to your inner wildness long after the year has ended.
Frida has encouraged generations to make their lives
a work of art, and she taught us that we were not
meant to be tame.
Boldly color the canvas of your life, for the love
of Frida!

TEACHINGS
FROM
R AM DASS
A feast for the eyes as well as the soul, the richly
illustrated Be Here Now wall calendar explores the
teachings of Ram Dass. Since the publication of his
generation-changing book, Be Here Now, more than
four decades ago, Ram Dass has guided millions on
their spiritual quest while continuing to hone his own
perception of the dharma of pure divine love. His
Eastern-inspired philosophy has elevated readers and
practitioners through works such as Be Love Now
and Polishing the Mirror. These insights will light your
way through each month of the year.
Accompanied by Sue Zipkin’s shimmering
imagery, the simple truths of Ram Dass provide a
constellation of meditations and remind us daily that
we shape the world around us with our thoughts,
deeds, and words. An inner journey that unfolds each
month, this gorgeous calendar affirms the higher
power in each of us and underscores that “all that
you seek is already within you.”

SHEPARD FAIREY
GRAPHIC ACTIVIST
The name Shepard Fairey brings to mind street art
images and graphic activism. For the last 25 years,
Fairey’s distinctive illustrations have symbolized
entire grassroots movements, from his early “Obey
Giant” graffiti and sticker campaign, to his Occupy
Wall Street and Rock the Vote posters. Fairey’s
graphic style has been a call to action for dozens of
causes, including World AIDS Day, Earth Day, and
the UN International Day of Peace.
Amber Lotus is proud to pay tribute to this
folk hero with the Shepard Fairey wall calendar,
a collection of illustrations spanning the artist’s
incredible career. This is the first calendar to provide
a visual survey of the work of this gifted provocateur,
whose philosophy of skate-punk public art made
him a counterculture disciple in the early 1990s.
Each month the social activism represented in these
illustrations will inspire you to – in the artist’s words –
question everything. What you see is not always what
you get.

POLLEN SEEDS FRUIT
THE WEIRD & WONDERFUL MICROSCOPIC WORLD
OF
PLANTS
Plants are an essential part of our daily lives. We
eat them, build with them, and source raw materials
from them for items such as dyes and medicines. We
even surround ourselves with them in landscaping
and decorating. But we never really stop to appreciate
the phenomenal variety and intricacies of plant life.
Amber Lotus is proud to partner with Papadakis
Publishing to bring you this stunning calendar that
celebrates the miraculous microscopic world of
plants and their fascinating life cycle. Based on
the books Pollen: The Hidden Sexuality of Flowers
(2014), Seeds: Time Capsules of Life (2014), and
Fruit: Edible, Inedible, Incredible (2013), the Pollen
Seeds Fruit wall calendar will take you on a journey
through the life cycle of flowering plants. With the
breathtaking beauty of pollen grains – the tiny yet
perfect masterpieces that transport sperm cells – the
seeds that carry within them the next generation,
and the fruits that house those precious seeds, this
calendar will open your eyes to the largely unseen
wonder of the world of plants.

a time capsule that adds resilience and
mobility to the life cycles of plants.

OF
MAGIC
EXTRA-ORDINARY VINTAGE POSTERS
This bedazzling collection of posters is a sublime
tribute to the golden age of magic (1875–1930), when
sleight of hand and death-defying feats inspired an
entire movement in poster arts. During this period,
renowned illustrators and lithographers produced
a cornucopia of posters celebrating the exploits of
magicians such as Houdini, Blackstone, Kellar, and
Carter the Great.
In The Art of Magic wall calendar, mysterious
depictions of levitations and apparitions will inspire
you to make your own magic from day to day and
month to month. You’ll be reminded that it’s entirely
up to you to conjure your own destiny, to coax rabbits
out of hats or banish any unwanted circumstances
from your world. It’s not a stretch of the imagination
to think that we live in a magical world where change
occurs in the blink of an eye. As the Great Houdini
said, “What the eyes see and the ears hear, the mind
believes.”

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 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 18), engagement calendar (page
60), and mini calendar (page 62). The Meditational
Art of Nicholas Kirsten-Honshin greeting cards are
also available. Visit www.amberlotus.com for more

THE ENCHANTED WORLD
OF
SAROLTA BÁN
Dogs, cats, sheep, bears … whether alone or in a
crowd, we’re all traveling together on a journey of
discovery. Hungarian photographer Sarolta Bán’s
digitally composed images, which she calls “photo
allegories,” are modern-day fairy tales with a myriad
cast of creatures that inspire hope with a bit of longing
for finding a new home, a place to belong. Originally
a jewelry designer, Bán discovered photography and
learned, through experimentation, how to refine her
curious compositions. Many of her dog portraits were
created to illuminate the need for shelter animals to
find forever homes. She wanted to share the charm –
and sometimes the mystery – below the surface so
we could see the true nature of these wonderful pets.
Her images are rife with symbolism, and the lush,
dreamlike landscapes reveal adventures into a world
of wonder where anything seems possible and where
the imagination reigns.

LAND ART
CREATIONS
IN
NATURE
BY
DIETMAR VOORWOLD
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 2016 edition of the Land Art wall calendar
presents the creations of Dietmar Voorwold, whose
fine art focuses on the intricate patterns found in
the natural world. Voorwold’s installations blend
seamlessly into the landscape and, although transitory,
often look as if they have been there forever. These
designs in the context of nature surprise viewers with
their beauty, variety, and unpredictability.
Reflecting on his art, Voorwold says it “has
something to do with peace – peace with nature, with
the weather, the stones, the light, and the inscrutable
ocean. Peace with myself.”

When asked who would testify that he was worthy

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 we 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.

and the lure of adventures that await those who

great walking enthusiasts past and present, including
Wendell Berry, John Muir, 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

cycling is recreation, exercise, adventure, meditation,
and a means of connecting with the physical world.

intense. Whether for an afternoon or a weekend,
down the street or cross-country, cycling gives
two-wheeled travelers a unique perspective of the
landscape.
Pedal down the perfect road – the one with

FAERIE HOUSES

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 dancing above the water on a moonlit night.
A crystal ice palace rising like a jewel from a winter
lake. Each month, the Faerie Houses wall calendar
reveals a magical world where imagination can find

Celebrated environmental artist Sally J. Smith

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.

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 surprising landscape of approaches, from ephemeral art
in nature sculptures, which are designed to last
only a few hours before returning to the earth, to
community-based 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.

YOGA MEDITATIONS
ARTWORK
BY
ELENA R AY
Yoga harmonizes all aspects of the human experience. 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 upward reach
of smoke from an incense burner, 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.”

places in Britain and Ireland. Mara Freeman, an
expert on Celtic spiritual and sacred traditions, guides

CELTIC MANDALA
BY JEN DELYTH
EARTH MYSTERIES & MYTHOLOGY
The Celts perceived the presence of divine forces
in all aspects of nature. Patterns of harmony and
balance, dark and light, winter and summer, female

Celtic knots and patterning reflect their belief in the
continuity of life and the interconnection of all things,
plants, animals, and otherworldly divinities.
The Celtic Mandala wall calendar presents
the magical weavings of Welsh artist Jen Delyth in
calendar form. Jen’s work is founded in her deep
connection to her Celtic heritage. She creates intricate
paintings and illustrations, using traditional egg
tempera and contemporary digital techniques. Her
original iconographic style is inspired by the Spirit in
Nature, which expresses our mythic connection to
the natural world.

HEBREW ILLUMINATIONS PROPHETS AND PROPHECY
A 16-MONTH CALENDAR
BY
ADAM RHINE
The ancient and enduring spirit of Jewish tradition
comes alive in the Hebrew Illuminations 2015–
2016 wall calendar. Jewish artist Adam Rhine has
created ornate, highly detailed Judaic paintings in
watercolor, colored pencil, and acrylic. His intricate
work combines modern palettes and aesthetics with
the influence of medieval illuminated manuscripts.
Each work is crafted to glorify the infinite nobility of
the Lord and to visually bring forth His energy within
different combinations and complex patterns. The
sheer elegance of their construction conveys wisdom
and ideas.
This unique calendar illuminates the names of
the most well-known prophets and prophetesses
in Jewish scripture. From our patriarchs (Avraham,
Yitzchak, and Ya’akov) to Devorah (“A Woman of
Fire”) and Esther HaMalchah, each historical figure is
celebrated with beautiful designs and vibrant colors.
With each painting, detailed biblical quotes describe
the prophecies these holy men and women revealed.

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.

SACRED IMAGES
THANGKA PAINTINGS
BY

SANJE ELLIOTT
For more than a thousand years, Tibetan thangka
paintings have been used as teaching tools and
meditation aids to assist practitioners in their
awakening to enlightenment. These classic images
of Buddhas, Lamas, and tantric deities open a sacred
doorway into the world of Tibetan Buddhism. In the
Sacred Images of Tibet wall calendar, each image is
paired with illuminating text that reveals its meaning
and symbolism.
These thangkas were painted in the Karma
Gardri style by the contemporary master thangka
painter Sanje Elliott. Sanje began painting thangkas
in 1974 and is the former director of visual arts at
Naropa Institute in Boulder, Colorado. He teaches
thangka painting and Tibetan calligraphy out of his

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 Taoist monastery clinging precariously to a cliff in China to an isolated church
in Iceland, 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.

DAY
OF THE

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 vibrant 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.

Fractals are the visual depictions of mathematical

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 showcases
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.”

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 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.

in celebration of his 80th birthday
One spring day in 1989, a simple slide show was
shown in the foothills of the Himalayas at the
residence of His Holiness the Fourteenth Dalai Lama.
Adventure photographer Galen Rowell had the idea
to pair HH the Dalai Lama’s words with Galen’s
photographs of the country His Holiness had not
seen with his own eyes since 1959. This collaboration
resulted in the beautiful book My Tibet. Today, more
than five decades since his exile, HH the Dalai Lama
still waits to return to his homeland. His words,
alongside the late Galen Rowell’s images, are even
more powerful and poignant. They provide a glimpse
of the beauty and spirit of Tibet and its threatened
ecosystem and culture.

Grapes are a rewarding backyard crop,
since established vines have few pests
and remain fruitful for decades. Although
it may take a few seasons to establish,
a single vine can produce 15-20 pounds
of fruit each year, and an assortment of
vines can keep your kitchen stocked with
table grapes from August into October.

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.

more than one million viewers. Between these pages
lies an invitation to follow your dreams through the
door of possibility to an enchanted land half dreamed,
half remembered, and wholly adored.
