The School of Life Press A Replacement for Religion
Book SynopsisMany of us find ourselves in the odd situation of not believing in religion – but nevertheless being interested in it, moved by it and sympathetic to some of its aims. We may enjoy religious art and architecture, music and community, and even some of the rituals – while being unable to believe in angels, divine commandments or stories about the afterlife. This book is about those feelings and what we might do about them. The School of Life is a secular organisation fascinated by the gaps left in modern society by the gradual disappearance of religion. We’re interested in how hard it is to find a sense of community, how rituals are dying out and how much we sometimes crave the solemn quiet you find in religious buildings. This book lays out how we might absorb the best lessons of religion, update them for our times and incorporate them into our daily lives and societies – without taking on the supernatural or doctrinaire elements. This book tries to rescue some of what remains wise and useful from all that no longer seems (to many of us) to be quite true.

Wessex Astrologer Ltd Relationships and How to Survive Them: 2023
Book SynopsisRelationships are and always have been the greatest of human mysteries and the chief source of both our joy and our suffering. Astrology offers many profound insights which can help us understand why we become involved with particular individuals, and why we sometimes enact compulsive patterns which work against our conscious wishes and expectations. The two seminars in this reprint of the CPA Press original, although different in focus, both explore the enigma of relationships from an astrological perspective. The first seminar explores relationship through the composite chart, examining the ways in which this “third” entity carries within it a particular pattern of development independent of the two individuals involved. No existing work on composite charts examines the subject in such psychological depth. The second seminar discusses the archetypal dilemma of the eternal triangle: why we become involved in triangular relationships and what factors in the horoscope might suggest a predisposition to this kind of relationship dynamic. Triangles have been the subject of great literature and art throughout history, and while no relationship experience causes us such conflict and suffering, no human experience is so common and familiar to us all.

Common Notions On Activism Friendships and Fighting
Book SynopsisConflict and resolution are the lifeblood of social movements. How, and with whom, do we find lasting friendship, support, and joy in a world in need of so much repair?In On Activism, Friendships, and Fighting veteran organizer and social worker Benjamin Heim Shepard traces a pressing dynamic of social movements: friendship and conflict. The project builds on oral histories with more than thirty movement organizers—from AIDS, queer, trade union, community, Occupy, and harm reduction-based movements—reflecting on the lessons, meanings, and future directions of movements and collective organizing efforts. “There is a hunger for radical history - to give credit to past struggles, to learn from our mistakes and to improve our strategies for the future,” writes Lesley Wood. Oral histories trace the stories of these movements.The book goes in depth into the reasons and ways the interviewees became involved in activism, the friendships they formed, and the conflicts they faced. This includes asking questions such as: where do friendships support or undermine these efforts? How can conflicts be resolved? And where do people find lasting support?

Delphinium Books, Inc They Were Good Germans Once A Memoir
Book SynopsisIn these essays, Toynton remembers her émigré relatives, some of whom left Germany as soon as Hitler came to power, others only escaped later.Evelyn Toynton’s relatives, German-Jewish refugees all, had grown up thinking of themselves as Germans first and Jews second; her portraits of them, subtly comic when depicting the Germanic traits they retained throughout their lives, take on a tragic poignancy when showing the sorrow they carried: how could their beloved country, so inextricably a part of who they were, have turned on them with such murderous savagery? While some of them embraced their new lives, becoming patriotic citizens of America and England, and one became a Zionist, rising to high office in Ben-Gurion’s government, others went on reading German books, German newspapers; they made nostalgic trips back to Nuremberg, where the family had thrived for centuries before the Nazis claimed it as their symbolic home. But it is the story of Toynton’s refugee mother, of the betrayal and the medical blunder that kept her living in the shadows for fifty years, that is at the emotional heart of this book. Toynton speaks to a universal immigrant family experience, some embrace a new life, others forge a compromise between their new home and old traditions, while a few never fully find their way.

North Atlantic Books,U.S. TraumaInformed Training
Book SynopsisA vital new guide to trauma-informed exercise—yoga, strength-training, and more—for trainers and fitness pros to foster safer workouts and build empowering fitness communitiesAs much as we talk about the mind-body connection, we seldom consider how certain workout movements can trigger past traumas—pushing us back into a state of vulnerability at the exact times we want to be (and, sometimes, need to be) strong. Our brains mean well: They’re trying to protect us. And so do our trainers: They’re trying to empower us. But when we encounter these exercises, it can be shocking, painful, or demoralizing—and they can prevent us from becoming as healthy as we can be.For more than seven years, Chelsea Haverly and Emily Young have been teaching trainers about the impact that a client’s trauma history can have on their workout performance and how to build sessions that accommodate people’s psychology and past experiences.In Letting the Body Lead, the two authors apply their expertise in therapy, fitness, and social work to a vital new guidebook that helps people heal through movement.In particular, the book introduces us to two psychological states associated with trauma—hyperarousal and hypoarousal. Haverly and Young explain how each may be embodied in our nervous systems and, finally, how awareness of them can be incorporated into exercises. For example: While some people may need to move fast, others may need to move slow—and should not be shamed for it.At the very worst, when we don't understand what people need and why, we risk harming them—either physically or psychologically. Letting the Body Lead shows us that fully understanding all of what people walk into the gym with—body and mind—and tailoring their exercise regimens to that knowledge is the best way to help people become their strongest selves.

Dialogue Doing It All
Book SynopsisA feminist exploration of single motherhood and a passionate call to reclaim the power of mothering.Nearly a quarter of UK families with dependent children are single-parent families, and around 90% of single parents are women. Yet the single mother is still cast as victim or welfare queen, sexually irresponsible or too independent by half.Tracing a history through Victorian brothels, welfare rights activism and Black feminist traditions of othermothering, Ruby Russell tells a different story: of motherhood defined not by marriage or men, but as a nexus of solidarity beyond the patriarchal status quo. A personal quest for empowerment, Doing It All is also a fierce critique of the structures that leave single mums marginalised and exhausted - and a call to reclaim mothering as the life force of sustainable, connected and radically responsible communities.
