Banyen Books is one of North America's most complete bookstore/web sites specializing in conscious living, personal growth, and spiritual awareness. With more than 27,000 books, CDs, tapes and videos, Banyen is a comprehensive resource of information for which more and more people around the world are hungering, as our hearts, minds, bodies, and the Earth itself, cry out for healing. Banyen is located in Vancouver, British Columbia and has been growing there since its birth in 1970. At that time, Kolin Lymworth, Banyen's founder and still current owner, understood that we are in the process of a great transformation of Life through the Spirit in its many forms. Unlike today, in 1970, books about the Spiritual path were relatively few or hard to come by. Since that time, it has been Kolin's and Banyen's goal to provide education and nourishment for the Human Soul and Community in the form of books, music, videos, talks, workshops, performances, and other events, as well as Banyen's own
