A World in Collapse
Our world is facing colliding crises: Climate catastrophe, species extinction, a global rise in authoritarianism, economic and food/water crises, rampant gun violence, the failure, dysfunction, and stagnancy of our institutions and norms, the loss of community and social cohesion, and so much more.
Hope is not the antidote, nor are hopelessness and despair beneficial to our health and well-being.
Denial, fear, blame, and wilful blindness have all contributed to this predicament. To meet the call of these times, we must rise to confront and integrate the unconscious in us and in the world.
Ultimately, we must remake ourselves into a new kind of human.

"Beautifully written and courageously honest"
"Keri Mangis becomes both alchemist and guide as she shows us how to turn our pain into wisdom and the shadow parts within us to gold. As she shares her truth-seeking experiences with us, we are inspired to remember that every ending gives birth to transformational beginnings and the common ground of our shared oneness."

Who will you become?

... to systematically re-imagine the life we want to live. Readers are challenged to move from the internal to external, shedding beliefs that stifle inspiration and anchor us to unhelpful habits. Each page is a breath of fresh air, a challenge, and a cyclical reminder that we make us whole.
