An incisive look at the system of addiction pervasive in Western society today.

It was 1939 when a family ventured from their safe nest in Oklahoma Indian Country to Indian Country in California to gold mine and live like their ancestors. During this time of interlude between the First and Second World Wars, many still lived in the old ways. Few white people and Californians knew about the Indian Country. In a rich story told through the eyes of a five-year-old, her father, and with perceptions from an eighty-three-year-old living in today’s world, Anne Wilson Schaef travels back in time to share details from a compelling adventure as her family uprooted from all they knew and attempted gold mining on the Klamath River in California. While offering a fascinating look into their journey and experiences beyond, Schaef shines a light on the sojourn among the native people as well as a broad conglomeration of others who played an important part not only in their own experiences but also in history itself. Through it all, Schaef illustrates that it is possible to live well in harmony and balance, and within a daily flow of sharing. Tales of the Klamath River shares the true tale of one family’s adventure to California Gold Mining country during the late 1930s.

As a species, says author, teacher, and healer Anne Wilson Schaef, we humans aren’t functioning very well. In fact, the societies we’ve created are actively destructive, not only to themselves but to all life on this planet and even to the planet itself. Clearly it’s time for a change. We need a new paradigm, and we need a way to live it. This new paradigm isn’t something we can outline clearly and implement programmatically. To arrive at a new way of living with ourselves, one another, and the planet is a journey that requires faith, because we can’t see exactly where it will lead. Quite frankly, where it will lead is, at this point, beyond our imagination. However, we do have some resources to bring to the table. Schaef, whose classic and beloved works include Meditations for Women Who Do Too Much and Meditations for Living in Balance, explains that deep within ourselves —in our cells, in our blood, in our souls —we have the ancient knowledge we need to find our way. We simply need to be reminded of what we already know —and this book is written to help us remember. Schaef takes thirty themes, one for each day of the month (months with 31 days get a “wild card” day), and offers a cycle of reflections on each theme that expands and deepens over the course of the year. Through insightful reflections on Beliefs and Assumptions, Honesty, Entitlement, Accepting Our Humanness, and Walking in Beauty, we enter a process that broadens our perspective and opens our minds so we can live fully into a new future.

The explosive bestseller that revolutionized our understanding of the addictive process. With a new introduction addressing the backlash to the co-dependency movement.

Many riders and horse owners are looking for a kinder, more ethical way of interacting with their horses, to fulfil the requirements of the modern Social Licence to Operate but also to enhance their relationship with their animal. In this book, author and expert rider Anne Wilson demonstrates that we need look no further than the teachings of the great classical riding masters, past and present. Classical teachings are often misunderstood today. This in-depth book on classical principles aims to rectify that, enlightening the reader on techniques which will enhance their own enjoyment as well as that of their horses. Wilson provides a wealth of ‘how-to’ information, via down-to-earth language and detailed imagery, which will enable readers to put the principles into effect. She throws light on hitherto much misunderstood aspects of horse training, showing that when these principles are employed correctly, the rider or trainer will experience an incomparable feeling of being at one with their horse. Perhaps most importantly, this book will help your horse enjoy ‘dancing’ with his or her rider, enhancing their physical and mental well-being, as well as their likely longevity. Unity between Horse and Rider: Classical Training for the Benefit of Both will be of great benefit to riders in any discipline who have basic knowledge and skills but wish to learn a more ethical, fulfilling way of training and riding. For riders, riding professionals, students and trainers, classical riding is the key to a happy life for horse and human alike.
