Publisher's Summary

A 2017 Nautilus Gold Award winner.

Feel like you don’t belong? You’re not alone. 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.

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?

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.

Simply Beauty Full

A Delicate Soft Weaving ~ Masterfully Blending the Bitter With The Sweet ~ A Treat and Delight to hear the author's voice rather than a hired narrator ~ Well Done Toko-Pa ~ HIGHLY Recommend this book especially for women searching on their Path to BeLong

My favourite book on Audible.

This book has become a treasured companion and I listen to it often for inspiration, meditation, reflection and even as a lullaby.
It moves me and comforts me like a warm and wise friend arriving at my door with soup and homemade bread.

Breathtaking

This book is incredible. I’m so glad the author reads it herself, you feel the words. The prose is like poetry, luscious. I’ve never read a book with so many delightful quotable phrases.

This book really speaks to the healing journey I been on all my life. Brilliant

Embodiment for the outcast/blacksheep

Incredible book for embodiment to those outcasted by mass indoctrination and remembering their true nature as spirit and bodies here to be free and heal. Incredibly written. The archetypes are deep and the mythical storytelling diverse. A blessed read

Love love love

This book is not one I just listened to, there are so many exerts I wanted to right down and ponder, I had to also buy the book. Wonderfully written and one I will be “studying” for some time.

mega medicine, a totally therapeutic listen

wow. thank you so much Toko-pa for putting all of these ancient/contemporary profound processes into such beautiful, kind words... & weaving it all together with stories and dreams. it's a masterpiece. it's creative and colourful and relateable. it's as awesome and healthy as being in therapy. it puts my childhood experiences into a much broader and more compassionate perspective. it IS sometimes triggering. but I'm not shying away from that so much anymore. I'm really glad I don't agree with the other reviews; but, I know, I also find it very difficult/sometimes impossible to listen to audiobooks when I don't resonate with the narrator, or they seem unsuitable for the style of the literature. but/& it's true, something Toko-pa is a little bit "overly dramatic" with the narration. it's curious that she even talks about that being something her mom would criticise her about. I would imagine mom's like that (& kinda like mine too) tend to zero in on some part of our gifts. & hello: life IS dramatic, so whatever. I think it's appropriate. if you don't like drama I hope you aren't watching ... um... any movies, let's say. or Netflix. Anyway, what she has to say is SO greatly valuable and healing and well written, that if you can't listen to it, but are needing help with mental traps/inner critic/victim stuff/depression/anxiety/chronic pain/etc: try reading it. so worth it. thanks again Toko-pa 🙏🏵️
