“A beautiful blend of folklore, botanical science, acquired wisdom, and spiritual guidance.”
—from the foreword by Luisah Teish
 
“If you want to learn about the reciprocal spiritual connection between humans and trees, you’re going to love this beautiful book.”
—Tess Whitehurst, author of The Magic of Trees
 
Reclaiming traditional botanical and herbal practices has never been more important than it is today. So much of our future depends on our ability to use ancient earth knowledge. In this crucially important book, author Stephanie Rose Bird recounts the story of the sacred wood: how to live in it, learn from it, and derive spiritual enrichment from it, as well as how to preserve and protect it. The Healing Tree offers functional, accessible recipes, remedies, and rituals derived from a variety of African and African American traditions to serve mind, body, soul, and spirit.

The Healing Tree celebrates the forest: its powers, spirits, magic, medicine, and mysteries. Bird shares how trees have provided her with personal healing, then allows us to share in that process for our own benefit. Bird’s book follows her own personal journey, but Africa is always her touchstone—the persistent and tenacious ancestral mother wisdom and spiritual foundation that refuses to fade away. The Healing Tree preserves this knowledge, presenting it as relevant and viable and demonstrating in intimate detail how vestiges of that knowledge took root in the Western Hemisphere, in African American culture, and more broadly in American culture in general.
 
Previously published as A Healing Grove, this updated edition includes a new preface by the author and a source guide for the botanicals discussed within.

From spiritual guide and teacher Aycee Brown, a warm and inviting handbook to discovering wholeness by embodying your truth and embracing your power.

When Aycee Brown was a child, her connection to spirit made her feel like an outcast, until her grandmother helped her see this burden as a gift. Now, Aycee helps readers—as well as clients and “Is My Aura on Straight?” podcast listeners—map their journey from trauma to wholeness.
Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach, Aycee teaches us which healing modality to use, when. Embarking on a soul journey, readers will explore different parts of themselves and step into their own story by exploring the canyon, or shadow self, through the following modalities:

* Knowing Your Story—The Embodiment of Validation
* Psychic Channeling—The Embodiment of Anger
* Astrology—The Embodiment of Self
* Numerology—The Embodiment of Alignment
* Mediumship—The Embodiment of Truth
* Metaphysics—The Embodiment of Choice
* Human Design for Liberation—The Embodiment of Change
* I Am—The Embodiment of Destiny (Internal Family Systems therapy)

As readers engage with these practices, their intuition grows stronger and paths are revealed. With Aycee holding our hand, we can connect to our truth and realize our wildest dreams. We become more capable of having healthy relationships, finding joy in our lives, and maintaining loving connections with those we have lost.
Embody Your Magic invites the conversations you’ve been waiting to have and reveals the psychic magic within you.

A practical guide to transforming work culture for nonprofits and social-justice organizations, using principles of collective governance and participatory democracy

Those working in the social-justice nonprofit sector work tirelessly for liberation out in the world, yet often find themselves stressed, burnt out, and exploited within their own organizations. This book is a powerful call for nonprofits and movement organizations to rethink their internal systems and processes, and to bring workplace culture and management in line with their liberatory missions and political values.

Drawing on two decades of experience in community organizing and nonprofit work, Niloufar Khonsari guides us in transforming our workplaces by decentralizing power and implementing collective governance structures, centering principles of transparency, equity, and mutual care.

Khonsari demystifies collective management for fellow activists, nonprofit workers, and community leaders, providing real-world examples of successful organizational shifts. Khonsari shares practical tools for transitioning to a shared leadership model; implementing equity-based pay scales; co-creating work expectations; nurturing both individual autonomy and collective responsibility; setting and respecting boundaries; and fostering a culture of learning, trust, accountability, and humility.

They also address how to communicate these workplace changes to funding bodies—and why being clear with funders about how and why you are transforming your organization is an essential part of the larger movement work you’re doing. Crucially, Khonsari also looks at how to handle toxic workplace dynamics, everyday conflicts, and job terminations, using a transformative-justice approach. They call for nonprofit and movement leaders to embrace conflict resolution as a generative practice that builds and strengthens us, and show how healthy feedback models within collective organizations can prevent larger issues from building up.

This book is not a one-size-fits-all plan; instead, readers are encouraged to draw from its rich collection of case studies, sample workplace policies, tools developed by activist collectives, and personal reflections of movement leaders to explore what works best for their organization at its current stage of growth and evolution. Inspiring and hopeful, this book will help nonprofit workers, activists, and community leaders work toward a workplace that truly models the kind of relational systems we want to see in the world.

Whether you're a leader of ten, a hundred, or many more, there's no one more important to lead than yourself. If you're not leading yourself, why would anyone else want to follow you? Ryan Leak speaks to thousands of leaders every year, and he has learned that the most successful people have taken ownership of their own development—and in order to realize your potential, you need to fully understand yourself.

An inspiring young leader’s moving call to action for anyone who seeks to make the world a better place—and the first title from Melinda French Gates’s Moment of Lift Books.

As the newly appointed minister of education in Sierra Leone, David Moinina Sengeh assumed that the administration he served—not to mention his family and friends—shared his conviction that all girls belong in the classroom. He was shocked to learn that many of those closest to him, including a member of his own family, were against lifting a long-standing policy banning pregnant girls from school.

Radical Inclusion is the dramatic narrative of Sengeh’s drive to guarantee pregnant girls’ right to an education. His story functions as a parable that can help us all advocate for change by reimagining the systems that perpetuate exclusion.

The specifics of his efforts in Sierra Leone are captivating, and the lessons Sengeh shares are universal. In addition to the candid account of his quest for reform, he offers stories and perspective from other parts of his life, drawing on his experiences encountering racial profiling as a Harvard student, developing cutting-edge prosthetic limbs at MIT, and working to combat algorithmic bias as a data scientist.

Sengeh offers readers a road map for pursuing radical inclusion in their own lives and work—from identifying exclusions, to building coalitions and adapting to a new normal. His book is essential reading for modern leaders or anyone who hopes to help unleash the power of a world that is truly, radically inclusive.

Birthing Liberation presents reproductive justice as the pathway to equity and the birthplace of liberation.

Sabia C. Wade, renowned radical doula and educator, speaks to the intersections of systemic issues—such as access to health care, house transportation, and nutrition—and personal trauma work that, if healed, have the power to lead us to collective liberation in all facets of life.

Collective liberation rests on the idea that in order for us all to have equity in this world—from the safety of childbirth, to the ability to bring a baby home to a safe community, to having access to resources, safety, and opportunities over the long term—we must all become liberated individuals.

Birthing Liberation creates a path to social and systemic change, starting within the birthing world and expanding far beyond.

A gritty, down-to-earth guide for real-life couples 

Conflict is a natural part of any intimate relationship. Yet most couples either avoid it or try to smooth over their differences. This often results in at least one partner compromising their integrity—and stunting their own growth.

Monsters in Love challenges the idea that conflict between partners is unhealthy or something to avoid. Instead, it encourages both people to stand by what they need and who they are—but to do so with compassion rather than competitiveness or vengefulness. 

This book is about the reality of committed, intimate relationships, which are designed to inspire both people to grow up. It challenges some common misperceptions about what makes for a successful partnership. It also rocks the boat of psychotherapy, calling out therapists who don't bring their best to their clients. 

Instead of comforting fantasies or false promises, Monsters in Love offers you and your partner a chance to make your relationship—and your lives—much bigger and more emergent.

Explores how Black Buddhist Teachers and Practitioners interpret Western Buddhism in unique spiritual and communal ways

In Black Buddhists and the Black Radical Tradition, Rima Vesely-Flad examines the distinctive features of Black-identifying Buddhist practitioners, arguing that Black Buddhists interpret Buddhist teachings in ways that are congruent with Black radical thought. Indeed, the volume makes the case that given their experiences with racism—both in the larger society and also within largely white-oriented Buddhist organizations—Black cultural frameworks are necessary for illuminating the Buddha’s wisdom.

Drawing on interviews with forty Black Buddhist teachers and practitioners, Vesely-Flad argues that Buddhist teachings, through their focus on healing intergenerational trauma, provide a vitally important foundation for achieving Black liberation. She shows that Buddhist teachings as practiced by Black Americans emphasize different aspects of the religion than do those in white convert Buddhist communities, focusing more on devotional practices to ancestors and community uplift.

The book includes discussions of the Black Power movement, the Black feminist movement, and the Black prophetic tradition. It also offers a nuanced discussion of how the Black body, which has historically been reviled, is claimed as a vehicle for liberation. In so doing, the book explores how the experiences of non-binary, gender non-conforming, and transgender practitioners of African descent are validated within the tradition. The book also uplifts the voices of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer Black Buddhists. This unique volume shows the importance of Black Buddhist teachers’ insights into Buddhist wisdom, and how they align Buddhism with Black radical teachings, helping to pull Buddhism away from dominant white cultural norms.

An updated introduction to the religions developed in the Caribbean region

Creole Religions of the Caribbean offers a comprehensive introduction to the overlapping religions that have developed as a result of the creolization process. Caribbean peoples drew on the variants of Christianity brought by European colonizers, as well as on African religious and healing traditions and the remnants of Amerindian practices, to fashion new systems of belief. From Vodou, Santería, Regla de Palo, the Abakuá Secret Society, and Obeah to Quimbois and Espiritismo, the volume traces the historical–cultural origins of the major Creole religions, as well as the newer traditions such as Rastafari.

This third edition updates the scholarship by featuring new critical approaches that have been brought to bear on the study of religion, such as queer studies, environmental studies, and diasporic studies. The third edition also expands the regional considerations of the diaspora to the US Latinx communities that are influenced by Creole spiritual practices, taking into account the increased significance of material culture?art, music, literature, and healing practices influenced by Creole religions.

In this young readers edition of her New York Times bestseller Professional Troublemaker, Luvvie Ajayi Jones uses her honesty and humor to inspire teens to be their bravest, boldest, truest selves, in order to create a world they would be proud to live in.

The world can feel like a dumpster fire, with endless things to be afraid of. It can make you feel powerless to ask for what you need, use your voice, and show up truly as your whole self. Add the fact that often, people might make you feel like your way of showing up is TOO MUCH.
 
BE TOO MUCH, and use it for good. That is what it means to be a troublemaker. In this book, Luvvie Ajayi Jones - bestseller of books, sorceress of side-eyes and critic of culture - gives you the permission you might need to be the troublemaker you are, or wish to be. This is the book she needed when she was the kid who got in trouble for her mouth when she spoke up about what she felt was not fair. This is the book she needed when kids made fun of her Nigerian accent. This is the book that she needed when it was time to call herself a writer, but she was too scared.
 
As a Rising Troublemaker, you need to know that the beautiful, audacious life you want is on the other side of doing the things that will scare you. This book will help you face and fight your fear and start living that life ASAP.        

“A comprehensive exploration of postpartum traditions that emphasize the importance of nurturing mothers during their most vulnerable times. From traditional recipes to rituals, this book highlights sisterhood and the need for comprehensive care that honors both the mother and the newborn.”
―from the foreword by Erykah Badu, five-time GRAMMY Award Winner, singer/songwriter, and holistic healer

As a mother, grandmother, and traditional midwife, Shafia M. Monroe intimately knows about childbirth and the fourth trimester. For over forty years, she’s helped thousands give birth, and has taught thousands more how to support birthing parents, all integrating the deep wisdom of African American healing traditions. Long suppressed by the white medical establishment, these practices—such as belly binding, heat, herbs, the lying‑in period, and the “taking‑out‑of‑bed ritual”—are powerful healing tools. Using them, we mother the mother through a healthy postpartum period.

While this framework will be powerful healing for all mothers, the information in this book can save Black mothers' lives; with African American women disproportionately suffering from maternal mortality and morbidity, there is an urgent need for an embrace of African American postpartum care that surrounds the new mother and her baby with community, love, and protection. Mothering the Mother is a resource for Black women and communities to reclaim their cultural traditions for a healthy postpartum recuperation.

When love promises warmth yet leaves only scars, how do you find your way back to yourself? How do you rebuild a heart that once believed so fiercely, only to be cracked open by disappointment?

When Love Burns Instead of Heals is a deeply intimate exploration of passion, temptation, heartbreak, and the quiet but powerful act of rising again. It follows the arc of a love story that begins with the electricity of first glances, the kind that lights up your world-and slowly descends into a storm of misunderstandings, unmet needs, and emotional unraveling. The relationship at its center is as irresistible as it is volatile, offering moments of breathtaking connection alongside wounds that cut just as deeply.

Told with lyrical prose and fearless honesty, each chapter peels back the layers of longing, illusion, and the yearning to be seen. It invites readers to witness the slow erosion of self that can happen when love turns into something sharp, consuming, or unreturned. Yet within that unraveling lies the quiet awakening that follows heartbreak-the realization that pain can carve out new spaces for truth, clarity, and rebirth.

This book is not only the story of a relationship's fall but a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. It shows how healing rarely arrives all at once but in small, tender moments-the first peaceful morning after chaos, the rediscovery of old dreams, the soft return of self-love. It reminds us that even in the ashes of what once felt sacred, beauty can take root again.

For every woman who has ever given too much of herself in love, for every person learning to loosen their grip on what no longer nurtures them, this book serves as both a mirror and a guide. It is an invitation to reclaim your voice, rebuild your strength, and trust that your heart can become whole again.

An inclusive and essential new resource for reproductive health―including period problems, pelvic pain, menopause, fertility, sexual health, vaginal and urinary conditions, and overall wellbeing―from leading expert and fierce advocate Dr. Karen Tang

"Dr. Karen Tang is a literal godsend to women in a time still filled with great ignorance in medical research and financing of women's health initiatives. Please read her book, follow her on Instagram as I have, and feel blessed as I do to have an advocate for our body, our health, and our human rights." ―Sharon Stone

Did you know that up to 90% of women experience menstrual abnormalities or pelvic issues in their lifetime? Yet these conditions are overwhelmingly misunderstood, misdiagnosed, or dismissed. The root causes for these issues, such as PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, ovarian cysts, PMDD, or pelvic floor dysfunction, don’t receive the stream of funding for research and new treatments that other conditions do, despite affecting up to half the population.

Dr. Karen Tang is on a mission to transform how we engage with our bodies and our healthcare. It’s Not Hysteria is a comprehensive guide to common conditions and potential treatment options, with practical tools such as symptom prompts and sample questions for your provider, to equip readers to take control of their gynecologic health.

Reproductive healthcare, from abortion to gender-affirming care, is under siege. The onus continues to fall on patients to find and advocate for the care they need. In the face of uncertainty and misinformation, It’s Not Hysteria is destined to become a new classic that educates and empowers women and those assigned female at birth.

In this erotic combination of fantasy and how-to guide, channel your passions and turn your dreams—and your partner's dreams—into reality. 

"Many people tend to think that fantasies are far-fetched and out of reach, that they are just for those girls—you know, the girls you've spent your whole life convincing others you're nothing like. Well, it's time to change our way of thinking and become more open to being just like those girls in our relationships. It's time to turn your fantasies, and your partner's fantasies, into reality, and not just on birthdays and holidays or when your man finally paints the garage. They should never be just for special occasions, but an active part of your everyday life. From this point forward, you should take a bold step, make a liberating decision. It's time to make fantasies and role-playing a regular part of your sexual agenda!" —Karrine Steffans

Some of the chapters include:
 
* Defilement
* Domination
* The One-Man Gangbang

“Camille Sapara Barton is a gift to all of us. ... This is what emergent strategy looks like at the precipice.”
—adrienne maree brown, author of Pleasure Activism

An embodied guide to being with grief individually and in community—practical exercises, decolonized rituals, and Earth-based medicines for healing and processing loss

We live in a culture that suppresses our ability to truly feel our grief—deeply, safely, and on our own terms. But each person’s experience is as unique as the grief itself. Here, Camille Sapara Barton’s take on grief speaks directly to the ways that BIPOC and queer readers disproportionately experience unique constellations of loss.

Deeply practical and easy to use in times of confusion, trauma, and pain, Tending Grief includes rituals, reflection prompts, and exercises that help us process and metabolize our grief—without bypassing or pushing aside what comes to the fore. Sapara Barton includes exercises that can be done both alone and in community, including:

* Altar practices to honor and connect with ancestors known and unknown
* Locating, holding, and dancing your grief
* Sharing circles for processing communal loss
* Water, fire, and nature-based rituals
* Honoring the survival utility of numbness—and knowing when it’s time to release it
* Peer support and integration
* Herbal medicines and plant-based healing

Sapara Barton honors each and every experience: The loss of displacement from homelands, from severed lineages and ancestral ways of knowing. The grief of colonization and theft.

A sacred sound healing journey through the restorative power of our own voice: with accompanying audio

Each of us walks with deep, sacred wisdom. Our bodies contain an innate intelligence that knows how to heal, and with guidance, we can learn modalities that allow us to live and thrive in ways we dream about. The Vibration of Grace ushers us to our limitless power by sourcing the inexhaustible presence of sound.

Here, we are taken on an unparalleled guided immersion with vocalist and sound healer gina Breedlove, who has practiced, shared, and lived this wisdom for decades. With beautiful lyrical prose, she shows us how to find our authentic voice and use it for healing and emotional and spiritual growth.

Breedlove’s transformational insights draw on rituals of soul retrieval, vibrational healing, and intention setting, with twelve chapters of instruction on sound rituals, affirmations, and meditation practices that can be done singly, with a partner, or in a group.

These concepts are revealed by the spirit of Grace, the energetic entity that has lovingly supported Breedlove on her path since her childhood. Throughout the work, we are gifted with lessons that “root us in our humanness, centering the self as a place of sanctuary and personal sovereignty. This can give us true freedom—domain over our thoughts, body, words, and actions.”

Now readers everywhere have the chance to learn directly from Breedlove, with The Vibration of Grace.

A riveting look at the tremendous promise and inherent risks of the use of psychedelics in mental health treatment through the lens of a New York Times reporter whose journalistic exploration of this emerging field began with a personal crisis.

• NOW IN PAPERBACK WITH NEW ORIGINAL MATERIAL -- Since the initial publication, there will undoubtedly be further decriminalization and therapeutic uses for psychedelics for mental health. We will update book accordingly in new Readers Group Guide material.
• Born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia, Londoño ascended to the top echelons of American journalism at an early age. He covered the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan for the Washington Post and later joined the New York Times, where he served on the editorial board and as Brazil bureau chief. As a trilingual, bicultural narrator, Londoño writes poignantly about the role of psychedelics in healing his depression and changing his outlook on the intergenerational mental health battles within his own family.
• The therapeutic potential of psychedelics is widely regarded as a potential game changer in mental health treatment. The Food and Drug Administration is widely expected to approve the use of MDMA-assisted therapy in 2024. Two states (Colorado and Oregon) and several cities have recently decriminalized psychedelics as their recreational and therapeutic use grows.
• Takes readers behind the scenes of the first MDMA trial conducted at a Veterans Affairs hospital, which marked the first time the federal government administered psychedelics as an experimental medicine since the 1960s. It also sheds new light on the decades-long quest to use religious freedom laws to expand access to illegal drugs in spiritual settings. Trippy will be the most thorough examination to date of the emerging field of therapeutic psychedelics.
• The book was acquired with both the author and The New York Times, who will promote it heavily through advertising (on site and email newsletters) and earned media. The #1 NYT bestseller THE 1619 PROJECT by Nikole Hannah-Jones was a similar arrangement.
