Enchantment: Awakening Wonder in an Anxious Age
by Katherine MayFrom the New York Times–bestselling author of Wintering, an invitation to rediscover the feelings of awe and wonder available to us all Many of us feel trapped in a grind of constant change: rolling news cycles, the chatter of social media, our families split along partisan lines. We feel fearful and tired, on edge in our bodies, not quite knowing what has us perpetually depleted. <p><p>For Katherine May, this low hum of fatigue and anxiety made her wonder what she was missing. Could there be a different way to relate to the world, one that would allow her to feel more rested and at ease, even as seismic changes unfold on the planet? Might there be a way for all of us to move through life with curiosity and tenderness, sensitized to the subtle magic all around? <p><p>In Enchantment, May invites the reader to come with her on a journey to reawaken our innate sense of wonder and awe. With humor, candor, and warmth, she shares stories of her own struggles with work, family, and the aftereffects of pandemic, particularly feelings of overwhelm as the world rushes to reopen. Craving a different way to live, May begins to explore the restorative properties of the natural world, moving through the elements of earth, water, fire, and air and identifying the quiet traces of magic that can be found only when we look for them. Through deliberate attention and ritual, she unearths the potency and nourishment that come from quiet reconnection with our immediate environment. <p><P>Blending lyricism and storytelling, sensitivity and empathy, Enchantment invites each of us to open the door to human experience in all its sensual complexity, and to find the beauty waiting for us there. <p> <b>New York Times Bestseller</b>

Encountering God: As a Traveling Papal Missionary of Mercy
by Father Jim SichkoThe author of Among Friends returns with a witty, heartfelt account of his adventures as a full-time traveling storyteller for God. In third grade, we talked about what we wanted to be when we grew up. I raised my hand and said, &“I want to be the pope!&”Everyone laughed.But, hey, if you think about it, I&’m still in the running. Encountering God is a collection of Father Jim Sichko&’s tales about what happened after he left his home parish in the Lexington, Kentucky, diocese to embark on a new role as a papal missionary of mercy. As his former congregation well knew, his warmth, humor, and genuine passion for spreading the message of God&’s unconditional love made him an ideal choice for the job, and Pope Francis seemed to agree. Here he reveals what it&’s like to live out of a suitcase (and love it) as he engages in the &“Ministry of Encountering&”—meeting people face to face, connecting through the shared experiences of daily life, and revealing how God&’s presence is accessible to us all if we simply open our hearts. Father Jim knows how challenging that can be, but his purpose is to make it easier. He passes along the Holy Father&’s message that it&’s not just about what we give up, but what we give—because we all have something to offer, and it costs nothing to be kind. Insightful, inspiring, and frequently funny, Encountering God offers a glimpse into an unusual life—and a call to move from &“me&” to &“we&” thinking in a world that sometimes seems determined to drive us apart. This ebook features forewords by Bishop John Stowe, OFM Conv., and Ed Bastian, CEO of Delta Airlines; and an afterword by Olivia Newton-John.
Encounterism: The Neglected Joys of Being In Person
by Andy FieldA playful, analytical, informed, and poetic exploration of the delight and transformative power of real-life encounters. The light touch of a hairdresser’s hands on one’s scalp, the euphoric energy of a nightclub, huddling with strangers under a shelter in the rain, a spontaneous snowball fight in the street, a daily interaction with a homeless man—such mundane connections, when we closely inhabit the same space, and touch or are touched by others, were nearly lost to “social distancing.” Will we ever again shake hands without a thought? In this deeply rewarding book, Andy Field brings together history, science, psychology, queer theory, and pop culture with his love of urban life and his own experiences—both as a city-dweller and as a performance artist—to forge creative connections: walking hand-in-hand with strangers, knocking on doors, staging encounters in parked cars. In considering twelve different kinds of encounters, from car rides to video calls to dog-walker chats in the park, Field argues “that in the spontaneity and joy of our meetings with each other, we might find the faint outline of a better future.”
Encounters with Mermaids: Lessons from the Realm of the Water Elementals
by William R. Mistele• Shares the author&’s interviews with four water elemental queens, also known as undines or mermaids, evocatively sharing their wisdom, magic, and love• Reveals that the oceans of the earth are the outer expression of an inner kingdom of love that we each can experience• Presents exercises and attunements to awaken your mermaid intuitive and empathic abilities and develop an inner connection to rivers, lakes, and oceans as well as the inexhaustible love of the mermaid kingdomTaking you directly into the realm of the water spirits, William Mistele shares his profound encounters with mermaids, revealing spiritual truths about the elemental kingdom, universal love, and the necessity of empathy.Using the magical methods of Hermeticist Franz Bardon, the author makes direct contact with four water elemental queens, also known as undines or mermaids, evocatively sharing their wisdom, magic, and love. Like their fellow elementals—salamanders (fire), sylphs (air), and gnomes (earth)—undines are united with, and personify, their element of water. Their energy is deeply feminine: cool, soothing, and gentle, yet also nurturing and supportive. Mermaids are deeply empathic, sensitive, and responsive. They accept, affirm, and seek to draw together, bond, join, and unite. The author shows how, even when incarnated in human form, mermaids do not lose this powerful feminine empathic magic.Speaking through the author, the mermaids reveal that the oceans of the Earth are the outer expression of an inner kingdom of love. Personifying this magical love intertwined with profound empathy and compassion, mermaids are able to contain within themselves the soul of any being so as to shelter, inspire, and transform. The mermaids reveal how their abilities—especially empathy, harmony with nature, and a cooperative rather than combative relationship with the world—are latent in us all and crucial to humanity&’s spiritual growth and survival.Sharing elemental exercises and attunements, the author shows how we each can awaken mermaid intuitive and empathic abilities and develop an inner connection to rivers, lakes, and oceans as well as the inexhaustible love of the mermaid kingdom. When we experience this love, we will no longer perceive nature as external to ourselves. Rather, like these magical beings of water, we will feel united with nature from the core of our being.
Encounters with the Soul: Active Imagination As Developed By C. G. Jung
by Barbara HannahBarbara Hannah, Jungian analyst and author, explores Jung's method of "active imagination," often considered the most powerful tool in analytical psychology for achieving direct contact with the unconscious and attaining greater inner awareness. Using historical and contemporary case studies, Hannah traces the human journey toward personal wholeness. This approach to confronting the unconscious is a healing process that applies to both men and women and deals in depth with the injured feminine as well as many powerful archetypal forces. “This is the first and only book I know of which can promote the understanding of 'active imagination' by illustrating through various examples, the steps, pitfalls and successes of this method of encountering the unconscious.”- -Marie-Louise von Franz
Encouragement: The Unexpected Power of Building Others Up
by Dan B. Allender Pllc Larry CrabbEncouragement is more than a compliment or a pat on the back. It’s a skill that can be mastered by anyone.

Part one deals with understanding encouragement, and part two explores the process of encouragement, including such practical how-tos as - developing a careful selection of encouraging words - cultivating active listening skills - using biblical fellowship to move beyond superficial smiles and shallow greetings - recognizing subtle opportunities for encouragement -- Without the encouragement of a caring community, biblical truth taught in church tends to just thicken people's defense layers. But authenticity, freedom, and greater love for God and others are the fruit of encouragement, and evidence of the tremendous power God invests in individuals who practice it.

EncourageMentors: Sixteen Attitude Steps for Building Your Business, Family and Future
by JoAn MajorsWe live in an era of American history shaped by a sense of discouragement so enormous that it is holding us hostage and paralyzing our forward progress.

The result for all strata of our society is a condition of imbalance, mistrust, uncertainty and cynicism. Hence, what rises to the surface is not our American can-do-ness but rather our deepest, craziest fear (False Evidence Appearing Real).

Un hombre al que llamarían maestro, Mesías, que los salvaríade mucho más que sus pecados. Un hombre que los curaría física, emocional y espiritualmente. Nosotros también podemos vivir, como ellos, este encuentro con lo sublime. Y nunca seremos ellos mismos.
The End Is Just the Beginning
by Arlene H. ChurnA nationally revered minister and certified grief specialist shares words of comfort for Africans Americans in mourning. Every culture has unique ways of coping with the devastating loss of a loved one, but in some households these important traditions have succumbed to the modern emphasis on returning to the business of life. Knowing from firsthand experience that these rituals of mourning are essential to a survivor’s emotional well-being, renowned counselor and minister the Reverend Dr. Arlene Churn now offers a special book that restores African American customs for honoring the deceased. Unlike Elizabeth Kubler-Ross’ stages of grief, the Rev. Dr. Churn maintains that people experience different kinds of mourning depending on how their loved one died -- the passing of an elderly grandparent is different than the grief a mother experiences when she has lost a child. Enhancing this process with poignant testimonials and wisdom tailored for African American readers, she addresses a range of specific end-of-life circumstances that will guide them through their natural and varied reactions, leaving them with a wealth of memories of their beloved. Imparting beautiful philosophies for difficult days,The End is Just the Beginningheals life’s most inevitable sorrow. From the Trade Paperback edition.

The End Is the Beginning: A Personal History of My Mother
by Jill BialoskyJill Bialosky, the poet behind the &“tender, absorbing, and deeply moving memoir&” (Entertainment Weekly) History of a Suicide, returns with a lyrical portrait of her mother&’s life, told in reverse order from burial to birth.When Iris Yvonne Bialosky died in an assisted care facility on March 29, 2020, it unleashed a torrent of emotions in her daughter, Jill Bialosky. Grief, of course, but also guilt, confusion, and doubt, all of which were compounded by the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic which made it impossible for Jill to be with her mother as she was dying and to attend her mother&’s funeral. Now, with a poet&’s eye for detail and a novelist&’s flair for storytelling, Jill presents a profoundly moving elegy unlike any other. Starting with her mother&’s end and the physical/cognitive decline that led her to a care home, The End Is the Beginning explores Iris&’s battle with depression, the tragedy of a daughter&’s suicide, a failed second marriage, the death of her beloved first husband only five years into their young marriage, her joyful teenage years, and the trauma of losing her own mother at just eight years old. Compounding her challenges of raising four daughters without a livelihood or partner, Iris&’s life coincided with an age of unstoppable social change and reinvention, when the roles of wife and mother she was raised to inhabit ceased to be the guarantors of stability and happiness. As we see Iris become younger and younger, we learn how we are all the sum of our experiences. Iris becomes a multi-dimensional, fascinating woman. We come to understand her difficulties and shortcomings, her neediness and her generosity, her pride and her despair. The End Is the Beginning is not just a family memoir, it is a brave and compassionate celebration of a woman&’s life and death and a window into a daughter&’s inextricable bond to her mother.
