Belonging Remembering Ourselves Home Audible Audio Edition Tokopa Turner Her Own Room Press Books Reviews

• With this book I feel that something holy has come into our home. Toko-pa has written a book that takes the ordinary, the painful, the beautiful, what goes deep and what soars up, what is radiant and what is hard, all that is wonderful and restless and unfinished and broken and tender and longing - and spins it into the gold of Life coming through us, in holy relationship with us. Life longing for us in true fullness - all these things resolved in their paradoxes through the grace of Life's Love - even as we long after it. Grounded in the realities of her own hard travelling, this book lifts the soul, shows the Way, and sings to the deepest part of ourself that may be still finding its voice, but wants to Sing. Thank you Toko-pa for this incredible gift you have given the world. I truly believe it is a treasured golden thread in the weaving back together of our living with this beautiful, damaged Earth, in the beauty and grace of honouring what is radiant as well as in what runs dark and deep. Thank you with all my heart.
• I have never read a more insightful or meaningful 'self-help' book in my life. I recognized myself and my struggles on every page. I underline sentences on every page, and I never underline my books. I realize now why I stand outside of every circle -- as an adjunct, a rebel, a stepmother. Why I have felt angry and irritable, and shamed, out of proportion to circumstances and inconsistent with my own accomplishments. Why I strive so hard to accomplish, to achieve, all the time. Why the grief of loss nearly destroyed me. I feel recognized and heard. Best yet, the book provides more useful suggestions for accepting and healing and moving forward than I've ever found before. Highly recommend.
• This book is an artful weaving together of personal experience, dream work, philosophy, literature, and love. As an orphan archetype on legs, I found it grabbed me on the first page and held me gently throughout. I don’t know when I have appreciated a book more. I found healing and inspiration and hope on almost every page through its truth.
• Belonging is one of those books that i call 'once in a decade' that manages to illuminate the present and validate years of exploration and healing...Have been with the book for a few days and Toko-pa has uncovered one of those rare golden nuggets that is found in the deep dark terrains that reveals the holographic of micro and macro-cosmic/personal and collective. This book relevant for these days when so many of us know it is time for unity and activism and yet at the same time many of us are aware that something seems to be holding us back collectively. This book lends great insight into the current series The Crown and also into the emerging of #metoo. We are being released from the death mother archetype together. This book has insight that can release us individually and collectively for a much greater wholeness. Toko-pa is a great writer, for she enters a creative flow that lifts and carries the soul that knows it 'belongs'. It is a good book and am so happy to find this one... Many thanks for its allowance.
• I have read so many books by brilliant authors on the topics of human connection and creation of a meaningful life- from both a psychological and a spiritual point of view. I first found Toko-pa when a dear friend sent me her poem "I Want to Be Alive With You", and have followed her ever since. I am a scientist and a dreamworker myself. I bought her book because I relate so readily to her blog posts... this book is exemplary. I can't say enough about it. I knew it would be good, but I actually am a bit floored to find it so deliciously profound and lucid, it exceeds all expectations. It's like all the things I already feel that I have stuck inside me found a beautiful and articulate voice and are laid out in front of me to ponder with holy curiosity. It is not a fast read. I had to take it in slowly, savoring it. It is deep and complex, but her anecdotes are sprinkled throughout, grounding it and driving the points home. Toko-pa is what my circle calls "tapped-in"... a bridge that can span the gap between the medicine and the sick, this book delivers. Such a beautiful and personal piece of art that I will reread and recommend to my friends.
• I wish I could give this 10 stars! I have read so many of these types of books in my search for actalization, but this book is a shining light in the self-help genre. For me, it is a slow read in the most wonderful of ways as I find myself pondering as I read. It has opened my eyes, heart, body, and mind to be able to know my soul, my Self. She writes beautifully and is very engaging. How intimate are we with the lives we have built? I can't recommend this wonderful book enough!
• Even pages in to this text it was clear that this is one of the most amazing and timely books I have ever encountered for my own personal work. Thank you so much for putting your wisdom down in this beautiful piece of writing. It tenderly puts words to those feelings and knowings that may not yet be verbal for you. I recommend highly!
• I just finished reading this wise and useful book, and I can't recommend it highly enough. As someone who is involved in dream groups, ritual, storytelling and poetry, I might have thought there isn't much more to be learned on topics I'm already well-versed in, but I'd have been wrong! I found myself underlining all throughout and will go back to these areas of the book again and again. Toko-pa's writing is beautiful and her thinking profound. I'm grateful to have discovered her work.
