In the beginning of 2014, after having been initiated onto the inner path of deep living, I had a vision for The Book of Living Collection as a series of books that are both intimate and guiding, much like a sacred text, but for a new, emergent time. It took several years before the project began taking shape in my mind; years that I witnessed the world changing in every possible way. It occurred to me that as a collective, we have forgotten how to be human, and, we are in a time of awakening. I saw that I could contribute to this emergence by finally bringing the Collection to life. 

 

The Book of Living Collection is designed to be a medicine for these times. All the books in the Collection take on themes that address what it takes for us to live deeply and to re-humanize. To walk and emerge, with integrity, alignment, and authenticity. With beauty even. It is for those who are inspired, or looking for inspiration, to explore and cultivate the inner life. 

 

Each book is embedded with tangible practices, practical guidance, and storytelling that resonates across multiple worldviews and lifestyles. But these books ask something of you, they are not meant as entertainment, nor as fixes. They are meant as invitations. They are meant to be lanterns on the porch.

​​

Catalyst: A Memoir highlights the theme of being initiated by personal hardship or diagnosis onto the inner path. 

​​

Perspective: A Pathway explores the themes of radical personal responsibility, walking the inner path with authenticity and grace, and why it matters.  

​​

Convergence: An Integration takes on the theme of integrating the true self through presence, embodiment, and coherence.

​​

These books are not meant to be read at top-speed. Linger with them. Return to them. Let them stir something within you. And more than anything, let them remind you to get near to you, stay there, listen.
