This publication was originally an online workshop in journal writing as a technique for exploring the writer's connection with Spirit (www.Journal-Writing.com). The website emphasizing the dialog process and the exercises to open that "inner channel" have been visited by people from around the world.

In addition to people interested in keeping a journal, teachers, students, professional writers, and others have expressed appreciation for its assistance. At the suggestion of one of these individuals, Conversations Within, the eBook, was born.

In the middle of the first century CE, the Romans occupy much of Britain. For more than twenty years, since the second invasion led by emperor Claudius, they have systematically subdued the southern and eastern tribes. The time has come to address a key impediment to their success: the spiritual teachers, healers, and Elders known as Druids.
