How the Joy of Rewearing and Repairing Your Clothes Can Be a Revolutionary Act

Vanessa Chakour

We all come from different cultures and practice different spiritual traditions, but we have one thing in common: we are all of the earth. Vanessa Chakour, founder of the rewilding programme Sacred Warrior, takes us on a journey to deepen our relationship with ourselves and the environment. Awakening Artemis is her love letter to the earth. 
 
Sharing her personal journey of rewilding, her stories act as tools, both practical and inspirational, to encourage growth, healing and reconnection to the regenerative power of the natural world. Vanessa will help you embrace the strength and beauty in the wild, the weeds, and the unsavoury parts of yourself in order to grow and heal. By allowing yourself and the earth to flourish and awakening your inner Artemis, Chakour promises that you will find joy, peace, compassion for yourself, others, and the planet.

Awakening Artemis

Deepening Intimacy with the Living Earth and Reclaiming Our Wild Nature

Lily Cole

Optimism demands action. Optimism is an active choice. Optimism is not naïve and it is not impossible. 
 
 We are living in an age of turmoil, destruction and uncertainty. Global warming has reached terrifying heights of severity, human expansion has caused the extinction of countless species, and Neoliberalism has led to a destructive divide in wealth and a polarisation of mainstream politics. But, there is a constructive way to meet this challenge, there is a reason to keep on fighting and there are plenty of reasons for optimism. 
 
 Lily Cole has met with some of the millions of people around the world who are working on solutions to our biggest challenges and committed to creating a more sustainable and peaceful future for humanity. Exploring issues from fast fashion to fast food and renewable energy to gender equality, and featuring interviews with Stella McCartney and Elon Musk, to activists Extinction Rebellion co-founder Dr Gail Bradbrook and Farhana Yamin, to offer a beacon of possibility in challenging times. 
 
This book is a rousing call to action that will leave you feeling hopeful that we can make a difference. We are the ancestors of our future: a generation who will either be celebrated for its activism or blamed for its apathy. It is for us to choose optimism, to make a change and to show what is possible.

Reasons For Optimism in Our Changing World

Tony Riddle

The bright lights, late nights and constant hustle of our modern world have detached us from the way humans were supposed to live, connect and thrive. Be More Human helps us learn how to meet our true needs and live more naturally. Tony Riddle (@ thenaturallifestylist) explores how so many of us are actively going against our biology and do not sit, breathe, eat, sleep or move as nature intended. 
 
Tony offers practical ways to easily build in change to our every day: 
* Relearn healthy natural movement with 6 key posture-enhancing shapes, including squats and heel sitting, to liberate our joints and spine. 
* Be your own breath guru by understanding how to use breathwork as a calming tool in times of stress. 
* Reprogramme our gut health by learning why and how to eat more intuitively. 
 
You don't have to live in the wild to rewild. This book offers practical tools to allow us tap into our innate natural needs, even when we live in an urban setting. Committed to helping us reconnect with how we were built to live, Tony's expertise will make this a transformative, empowering and transformational guide to finding a happier, healthier self.
