Forged in Darkness by Dr Joanna LaPrade
£13.49 £14.99
We all experience darkness, and this comprehensive and accessible guide will show readers of all ages how to embrace the shadowed parts of themselves. For millennia, cultures around the world have told myths about the underworld. It is a tragedy that the only image we have in the West is that of Hercules, requiring us to be strong and defeat the shadowed parts of our life.
Forged in Darkness explores the archetype Hercules represents and turns toward other heroes and gods for models of journeying into darkness. When we question, learn to accept and make sacrifices, Odysseus is present. We acknowledge Dionysus when we reconnect with what is volcanic, unrestrained and feral.
We may experience Persephone as we're abducted from our comforts and connected to a mysterious authority within.

Zen and the Art of Dealing with Difficult People by Mark Westmoquette
£12.99
This is a guide to applying the teachings of mindfulness and Zen to the troublesome or challenging people in our lives. Perhaps you can see there’s often a pattern to your behaviour in relation to them and that it often causes pain – perhaps a great deal of pain. The only way we can grow is by facing this pain, acknowledging how we feel and how we’ve reacted, and making an intention or commitment to end this repeating pattern of suffering.
In this book, Mark Westmoquette speaks from a place of profound personal experience. A Zen monk, he has endured two life-changing traumas caused by other people: his sexual abuse by his own father; and his stepfather’s death and mother’s very serious injury in a car crash due to the careless driving of an off-duty policeman. He stresses that by bringing awareness and kindness to these relationships, our initial stance of “I can’t stand this person, they need to change” will naturally shift into something much broader and more inclusive. The book makes playful use of Zen koans – apparently nonsensical phrases or stories – to help jar us out of habitual ways of perceiving the world and nudge us toward a new perspective of wisdom and compassion.
Read Life Accurately by Sonia Choquette
£13.99
In this exciting new book, New York Times best-selling author Sonia Choquette teaches readers how to read life accurately: how to go inward, pay attention, keep senses sharp and awareness present, and be tuned in internally and externally. This book is the culmination of her life's work, in helping others use their intuition for greater peace, well-being, and happiness.
Sonia explores what reading life is, why reading life matters, and how not to read life. She breaks down the basics of reading life, how to read yourself and others, and how to read your purpose. Sonia also examines how to let your spirit read life and how to read the flow of life, so that you can connect with the right people at the right place at the right time.
