Free E-Books
A PATH TO CONNECTION
In this free e-book, Heather Plett invites people to consider what it means to seek greater connection.
When she created this e-book, back in 2014, Heather put out a call for submissions to other wise souls (teachers, poets, authors, artists, storytellers, etc.) who have some understanding of the quest for connection and thirty-three people responded. It’s full of poems, art, stories, and wise tips for making deeper connections with yourself, others, spirit, and nature.
THE HOUSE THAT TENDERNESS BUILT
This free e-book was a precursor to Heather’s book, Where Tenderness Lives: On healing, liberation and holding space for oneself.
Imagine living in a house that Tenderness built especially for you. Imagine Tenderness painted the walls and arranged the furniture in exactly the right way to make you feel safe and loved and nurtured. Imagine that, in this house, Tenderness makes the rules about how people treat you and how you treat yourself and she won’t put up with any bullying, gaslighting or body-shaming.
Connecting with others who share similar (or sometimes radically different) journeys has helped me to remove my colonial glasses and really start leaning into the mystery. I am more likely to ask questions rather than jumping to conclusions (“what if” or “what else” is often the tune in my head). The connections I made through Holding Space have changed the way I interact with others and myself for the better.
