Belonging

<p><strong>2017 Nautilus Award Gold Winner</strong></p><p>Feel like you don’t belong? You’re not alone. <br /> <br />The world has never been more connected yet people are lonelier than ever. Whether we feel unworthy alienated or anxious about our place in the world — the absence of belonging is the great silent wound of our times.  <br /> <br />Most people think of belonging as a mythical place and they spend a lifetime searching for it in vain. But what if belonging isn’t a place at all? What if it’s a skill that has been lost or forgotten? <br /> <br />With her signature depth and eloquence Toko-pa maps a path to Belonging from the inside out. Drawing on myth stories and dreams she takes us into the origins of our estrangement reframing exile as a necessary initiation into authenticity. Then she shares the competencies of belonging: a set of ancestral practices to heal our wounds and restore true belonging to our lives and to the world.</p>
