The Necessary Journey - Making...

Ella F. Washington

"What does a workplace utopia look like to you?" This is the question Dr. Ella F. Washington asks company leaders, and often she hears about an ideal vision of an organization that values diversity and inclusion and wants employees to bring their whole selves to work. 
 
 
 
But how can you get there? Organizations have largely missed the mark when it comes to creating environments where all employees thrive in an equal and equitable way, because they treat diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) as a program that gets done rather than the necessary and difficult journey it is. 
 
 
 
The road to an inclusive workplace is a difficult one, but you can traverse it, and there's help along the way. Start here with stories of companies making the necessary journey, including Slack, PwC, Best Buy, Denny's, and many others. Hear from company leaders about their successes and failures, the times they were on the vanguard, and the moments they realized they had much more work to do. These are profiles in perseverance from people who are keen enough to recognize the need for inclusive workplaces and humble enough to know they're not there yet. Along the way, Washington provides a framework for thinking about where these companies are on their journeys and where you and your company may be too.

Understanding Deleuze

Philippe Mengue

The name Deleuze is associated with strange concepts (desiring machines, ritornello, war machine or lines of flight). However, these impressive notions can be explained simply, once we have the intuition that organizes his work. This work gives us access to an understanding of the thread that ties Deleuze's thought together, particularly through literary characters such as Bartleby, Lancelot and the Princess of Cleves. Deleuze thus appears as non-dogmatic, himself open to variation and to the invention of a multiplicity of possible meanings of life.

Luminous Darkness - An Engaged...

Deborah Eden Tull

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.

More than just a label - Beyond...

City views Liverpool

More than just a label- Beyond Diagnosis is more than an audiobook. It’s a message of truth, strength, and understanding for those living with autism, ADHD, and sensory processing disorder.
 
This audiobook takes you inside the real experiences of children and adults who see, feel, and experience the world differently. It speaks about the silent effort it takes to fit in, the exhaustion of masking, and the emotional weight of being misunderstood. But more importantly, it reveals the strength, creativity, and resilience that lives beneath those labels.
 
This book was written to help children realise they are not broken. They are not less. They are unique. They carry abilities, perspectives, and strengths that the world needs. It teaches them to embrace who they are, to understand their minds, and to recognise that their differences are not weaknesses, they are part of their power.
 
It also speaks to the adult who grew up feeling different. The one who learned to hide parts of themselves just to survive. This audiobook reminds them that their journey matters, their struggles were real, and their strength never left them.
 
This is not about fixing who you are.
 
This is about understanding who you’ve always been.
 
You were never just a label.
 
You were always more.
