Community

Peter Block

HC AUD44.95

Over the past year I have noticed the word community being used more to describe the environment individuals want to get to.

Most of our modern communities are fragmented and at odds within themselves.

Peter Block explores how community can emerge from fragmentation. He looks at how a community is built, how the transformation occurs, what shifts are involved and what individuals and formal leaders can do to create the place we all want to inhabit.

He helps us to see how we can change the existing context of community from one of deficiencies, interests and entitlements to one of possibility, generosity and gifts by outlining six kinds of conversations that will create communal accountability and commitment.

The Art of Power

Thich Nhat Hanh

PB AUD25.00

Thich Nhat Hanh, the Vietnamese Buddhist Zen Master, is known to many as the 'Peaceful Monk'. Nominated for the Nobel peace Prize in 1987, he has spent his life speaking truth to empower the powerless.

He is a determined revolutionary - not in anger but in understanding and love. In this book he approaches the subject of power from a radically different perspective than most philosophers and thinkers in the western tradition.

He starts at the organic level by explaining that the ability to attain any goal is contingent on the condition and quality of your mind. He makes crystal clear that at their core being, everyone has the deepest intention of love and goodness and invites us all to return to that core state.

He suggests to us that the alternative to our limited definition of power is the power to be happy in the present moment, free from addiction, fear, despair, discrimination, anger and ignorance.

The Way of Ayuverdic Herbs

Karta P.S. Khalsa and Michael Tierra

PB AUD40.00

Traditional Ayurveda is regarded as the oldest continuously practiced healing system on the earth. Using the principles of the three doshas, constitutional body typing and highly individualized therapies generations of Ayuverdic scholars and physicians have reviewed, inspected, dissected and refined the system to perfect a highly effective form of health, balance and healing.

This book is the work of two leading practitioners who together bring over 75 years of practice to the work.

They have crafted a manual for making Ayuverda understandable and practically useful. Much is shared; your own body type; the three doshas, how to live an Ayuverdic lifestyle and hundred's of herbs and formulas for common health problems.

Nature and the Human Soul

Bill Plotkin

PB AUD29.95

There are few people alive today that would argue that our planet is not in crisis. There is growing evidence of significant damage to our eco systems, not to mention record pollution levels across the globe.

We each need to make a significant change in the way we interact with the planet.

Wilderness guide and former psychology professor Bill Plotkin states that the changes will only flow once we progress from egocentric, competitive consumer societies to an ecocentric, soul-based one that is sustainable, cooperative and compassionate.

Through this book he encourages you to connect personally with the natural world and reassess you place within it.
