    A resonant call to explore the darkness in life, in nature, and in consciousness through teachings, embodied meditations, and mindful inquiry that provide us with a powerful path to healing. 
     
     
     
    Darkness is deeply misunderstood in today's world; yet it offers powerful medicine, serenity, strength, healing, and regeneration. All insight, vision, creativity, and revelation arise from darkness. It is through learning to stay present and meet the dark with curiosity rather than judgment that we connect to an unwavering light within. Welcoming darkness with curiosity, rather than fear or judgment, enables us to access our innate capacity for compassion and collective healing. 
     
     
      
    Dharma teacher, shamanic practitioner, and deep ecologist Deborah Eden Tull addresses the spiritual, ecological, psychological, and interpersonal ramifications of our bias towards light. 
     
     
      
    Tull shows us how the labeling of darkness as "negative" becomes a collective excuse to justify avoiding everything that makes us uncomfortable: racism, spiritual bypass, environmental destruction. We can only find the radical path to wholeness by learning to embrace the interplay of both darkness and light.

    Imagine living without clean air. For the people who lived on the doorstep of Monkton Coke Works, their daily reality was a horrendous nightmare of hazardous and acrid sulfur dioxide emissions, all-pervading soot, and clamorous tannoys. Over decades, the facility grew unflaggingly, converting ever-increasing quantities of coal into coke without concern for the residents' well-being. In forming the Hebburn Residents' Action Group, Jennie Shearan united and empowered the underrepresented residents of Monkton Lane Estate, and gave them a voice, igniting a national dialogue about the health risks from the pollution that her neighborhood had to endure. CLEAN AIR is an exhilarating memento of the lengths that Jennie Shearan went to in order to secure environmental equity for her community. It is a David and Goliath account of a fearless working class woman who put it all on the line and left no stone unturned in her uncompromising fight for the right to clean air.

    Leibniz’s Monads - Because...

    Ever wondered what reality is made of? If you're thinking atoms, molecules, or maybe regret and caffeine, think again. According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz—17th-century genius, calculus co-inventor, and metaphysical madlad—the universe is made of tiny, windowless soul-particles called monads. They don’t touch, don’t talk, and yet still manage to reflect the entire cosmos like cosmic disco balls of divine insight. 
    In Leibniz’s Monads: Because Particles with Feelings Totally Make Sense, Sophia Blackwell (author of Kant You Not) returns with another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud, actually-informative tour through one of philosophy’s weirdest, most ambitious systems. From the problem of evil to quantum physics, ecology to ethics, this book unpacks Leibniz’s windowless wonders and shows how his soul-marbles still haunt modern science, spirituality, and your existential crisis at 2am. 
    Perfect for students, armchair philosophers, or anyone who wants to understand metaphysics without crying in German. 
    Inside, you’ll learn: 
    What monads are (and why they’re basically metaphysical Tamagotchis) 
    Why your soul is pre-synced with the universe like a divine group project 
    How this is somehow the best possible world (yes, even with all of… this) 
    What quantum physics, computer science, and modern consciousness studies owe to a guy who never left Leipzig 
    And why Leibniz remains philosophy’s most lovable, logic-obsessed optimist 
    If you like philosophy that doesn’t take itself too seriously—but still takes ideas seriously—this book is for you. 
    Warning: May cause sudden belief in soul-particles. Or at least very polite existential confusion.
