Books

These books speak plainly about the things that matter most.

These books are offered in the spirit of a neighborhood library or a small shelf beside the road. If one speaks to you, take it. If it matters, pass it along.

Together they explore embodiment, awareness, relationship, creativity, participation, silence, and the work of becoming a whole person.

For readers who want the deeper framework beneath these books, Coherence and the Whole Person explores the larger philosophy of wholeness, return, and coherence.
