Our Winter Book Sale
I won’t reveal the current stack of books on my nightstand (tempting as it is … you might glimpse a future feature book or two!), but I can share some of the most inspiring, insightful reads that have shaped our Meditation Boxes over the past two years.
We all have books that mark turning points in our journey - pages that shift our thinking, stir something within, or stay with us for years. The right book can feel like a conversation with a wise friend, a teacher, a mirror, a spark.
That’s why each seasonal box includes a carefully chosen feature book — aligned with the theme, and chosen to nourish your meditation practice from the inside out. (If you’re curious how I select the theme for each box, you can read more here.)
The Winter Book Sale features a small collection of extra books, possibly only one or two remaining copies — the last of a few seasonal boxes, a few surprise finds from the storeroom — with titles that span traditions, generations, and genres.
Only a handful of beautiful books remaining - ON SALE until 24 July 2025.
