Another Life. Mystical Practices for Finding Yourself

Tokopa Turner is a Canadian writer, teacher, and dreamwork specialist who combines the mystical tradition of Sufism with a Jungian approach. In her work, Tokopa focuses on the revival of femininity, interconnectedness with nature, proper respect for grief, and the creation of beauty. She lives on a small island in the Salish Sea in British Columbia. Are you struggling to find your place in the world? Believe me, many people are in the same boat. Despite having more means and ways of communication than ever before, people are lonelier than ever. You may feel disconnected from others, or think you are unworthy of something, or worry about your place in the world - all of this indicates a lack of belonging, which is a deep, albeit often unnoticed, wound in modern society. Most people think of belonging as some mythical place and spend their whole lives searching for it in vain. But what if belonging is not a place at all? What if it's a skill that has been lost or forgotten? In her book, Turner, by exploring myths, stories, and dreams, points readers to the origins of that feeling of disconnection, reimagining inner exile as a necessary stage of initiation into authenticity. The author shares expertise on belonging - a set of ancient practices for restoring true belonging to our lives and the world. The book "Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home" has won numerous awards, including the 2017 Nautilus Gold Award and the 2018 Readers' Favorite Gold Award, and was also shortlisted for the 2018 Whistler Independent Book Awards.
