‘This book is a tonic for our times. Read and respair (rebuild hope and recover from despair)! I was invited into a different way of being as I imbibed this beautiful collage of reflections, conversations, and creative explorations. A way of being that honours the continuity between my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of all living things.’ – Prof Rebecca Crane, PhD, Director, Centre for Mindfulness Research and Practice, Bangor University, UK
