Some of our Favorites & Why We Love Them!

  • Many Lives, Many Masters by Brian Weiss MD: “This book completely widened my perspective on what might be awaiting us after we leave our life on earth.  If you are ready to explore the concept of reincarnation along with a skeptical psychotherapist, this is a great book.”

  • The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz: “The simplicity underscores that life doesn't have to be difficult to find a peaceful heart.”

  • Grist for the Mill by Ram Dass: “This book is filled with insights on what it means to grow as a human. Ram Dass writes with humor and humility.”

  • The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho: “The book was a starting point of my spiritual journey- Teaching strong personal and spiritual concepts through such a beautiful and immersive story helped to bring my dreams to life!”

  • The Untethered Soul by Michael A Singer: “I learned so much about my inner self and how to allow emotions to flow through me as long as I relax and open to them instead of protecting myself from them.  I am not my thoughts, good or bad, but the watcher of my thoughts.  This began my inner journey to quiet my mind's chatter and allow my inner energy to flow and not become stuck deep inside due to my fears.”
