Resources to guide your journey

Post Capitalist Philanthropy takes us on a journey from the history of wealth accumulation to the current logic of late-stage capitalism to the lived possibilities for other ways of knowing, sensing and being that can usher in life-centric models. These “ontological shifts”, as we call them, are at the heart of the text. Creating emerging realities is not simply about how we redistribute wealth or “fight power”, but rather, how we perceive and embody our actions in relationship to a dynamic, animate world.

McLaren walks you through why you might want to dis-identify as a Christian or why you might want to identify as a Christian reformer, all without any judgment or expectation.

This book is amazing. It gives you practical tools to complete the stress cycle so your body doesn't get stuck in stress. AND it names some of the systemic cultural (white supremacy) values that are creating the stress in the first place, such as patriarchy, the bikini industrial complex, and perfectionism. Multiple people, myself included, have found a significant shift from judging our bodies to living in them due to this book.

This book is amazing. A primer in living a free, full life informed by your inner knowing.

McBride shows that many of us feel disembodied due to colonization, racism, sexism, and patriarchy—destructive systems that rank certain bodies as less valuable, beautiful, or human than others. Embracing our embodiment can liberate us from these systems. Instead of the body being a problem to overcome, our bodies can be the very place where we feel most alive, the seat of our spirituality and our wisdom. The Wisdom of Your Body offers a compassionate, healthy, and holistic perspective on embodied living. Weaving together illuminating research, stories from her work as a therapist, and deeply personal narratives of healing from a life-threatening eating disorder, a near-fatal car accident, and chronic pain, McBride invites us to reclaim the wisdom of the body and to experience the wholeness that has been there all along.

The History of the American Church's Complicity in Racism

This book is incredible. A reflection on what it means to embrace Native ways of knowing oneself and God.

The seminal book on understanding white privilege and white fragility. In my eyes a necessary read for all white people wanting to do anti-racist and anti-oppressive work.

This anthology is a space to recognize and process the trauma of white supremacy, a space to be vulnerable and affirm the fullness of Black life and Black possibility, a space that gives Black humanity breathing room.

We often feel helpless in the face of so many things we want to change. This book gives you a place to land, to be connected in the work of social change. It gives you a blueprint from our ecosystem of how to effect change on a large scale through small actions. Some of the things this book is fighting for: "dignity, collective power, love, generative conflict, and community."

How to break out of white supremacy values of motherhood. You don't have to be the perfect 1950's housewife with home-cooked meals and an immaculate home, as well as a successful career. You can have a different version for and experience of motherhood. One that is life-changing and rewarding, not filled with shame or unreasonable expectations.

An amazing book for female embodiment. Nagoski's premise is that your sexuality is normal, there is no performance factor needed. She teaches you all the myths related to your sexuality and sexual experiences. And most importantly she teaches you what you really need to know to be comfortable, happy even, with your body and your sexuality. If you want more understanding, embodiment, and choices in your sexuality, this book is a must read. (It is also a great antidote to purity culture.)

The Diabolical Trinity not only gives voice to those affected by the harmful doctrine about hell, but also offers a psychological, sociological, and philosophical examination of Hell itself. Most importantly, The Diabolical Trinity delves into the latest research in psychology, neuroscience, and psychotherapy to offer wise principles and healing practices for those seeking to move beyond the damaging effects of such toxic beliefs.

Through research, interviews, and stories of lived experience, How We Show Up returns us to our inherent connectedness where we find strength, safety, and support in vulnerability and generosity, in asking for help, and in being accountable. Showing up—literally and figuratively—points us toward the promise of our collective vitality and leads us to the liberated wellbeing we all want. It seems counterintuitive that living the “good life”—the well-paying job, the nuclear family, the upward mobility—can make us feel isolated and unhappy. What separates us isn’t only the ever-present injustices built around race, class, gender, values, and beliefs, but also our denial of our interdependence and need for belonging. In response to the fear and discomfort we feel, we’ve built walls. How We Show Up teaches us how to build community instead.

My favorite compassionate guide to finding balance in your type. It is most helpful once you know your number.

This is a fun book loaded with comics and bullet points to get to better know each type.

The Wisdom of the Enneagram is almost like a textbook – a good deep dive, but probably not the place to start.

This is a great book for understanding the shift from the brainwashing of psychological abuse to freedom from it.
