Each grouping reflects recurring threads in the human journey- inviting deeper reflection, richer insight, and a renewed sense of direction.

Life Purpose & Meaningful Work

What does it mean to live a meaningful life – and how does work fit into that vision? This theme explores alternative definitions of success, vocational calling, intentional living, and how we shape lives of depth and direction. These books question conventional career paths and invite you to forge your own.


Archetypes, Soul & Depth Psychology

These books offer a gateway into the symbolic life – where myth, psyche, and archetype shape the unfolding of the self. Rooted in Jungian and transpersonal traditions, they help us make meaning of our inner world, explore identity beyond ego, and follow the soul’s unique path to wholeness.


Feminine Wisdom & Sacred Reclamation

A return to the wisdom of the feminine – these books chart the journey of healing, rewilding, and reclaiming voice, agency, and sacred connection. They speak to women (and those drawn to feminine energy) seeking an authentic life outside patriarchal scripts, grounded in myth, depth, and embodiment.


Nature, Place & the Living World

How do we belong to the Earth, and how does it shape our soul’s story? These books explore the reciprocity between inner and outer landscapes, from nature journaling to pilgrimage, indigenous worldview to ecological imagination. They invite a deepening relationship with the more-than-human world.


Soulful Living & Inner Growth

For those seeking wholeness and integrity in daily life, this theme gathers books on personal growth, inner peace, and the quiet unfolding of a meaningful existence. These reflections speak to the heart and the human condition, offering insight, encouragement, and soulful companionship on the journey within.


Myth, Story & the Creative Imagination

Story is how we come to know ourselves. These books explore mythopoetic approaches to self-understanding, transformation, and cultural healing. Whether through ancient tales or personal myth-making, they honour imagination as a force for truth and inner awakening.


Cultural Shift & Collective Purpose

These books speak to the bigger picture- how we live together, what kind of ancestors we want to be, and what systems we need to leave behind. With an eye to justice, kinship, and long-term thinking, they inspire soulful change-makers and visionaries to shape a different future.
