The Examined Life Book Release

I was going to wait until I got back from Europe to announce this, but I just can’t wait any longer…I’ve got something to share with you.

I’ve been working for over a year and a half on a book originally based on my blog, and then on the workshop I’ve been giving for years called The Examined Life. All the time and focus put into it, all the effort and vision, is now coming to fruition with the release of the final product, a book that I’m insanely proud to self publish and to put my name on.

The Examined Life is a work of love and dedication. It asks the questions that we all ask ourselves from time to time, but rarely answer completely before moving onto the next distraction. In addition to asking these questions, it offers tools to digest and process them so that we can let them steep and integrate into how we live so that their answers manifest organically. It allows us to assess where we are, where we want to be, and what lies in the space between the two. It begs us to find our voice, to find something to believe in, and to find the words necessary to speak our truth. This book is a call to the now, to the present moment, all in the hope that it will spark a fire in the mind of the reader to examine the quality of life being led. It offers route markers and pathways to making whatever changes are necessary to increase happiness, contentment and quality of life. It’s about living the lives we’ve always dreamed of, but potentially never thought possible.

I’ve spent more hours than I can count writing, re-writing, editing, editing, editing….ok, you get the gist of what I’m trying to say. The book was written in Canada, England, The Netherlands and Germany, and has taken form in its own time while giving me the opportunity to put down in words what I believe matters to us all. It’s been an incredibly illuminating, frustrating, challenging and rewarding process from beginning to end and it’s only because I’m surrounded by incredible people that I pushed (and was pushed) harder than I thought possible to produce this work. I believe that it succeeds in communicating exactly what I wanted it to in regards to the lives we lead and our roles in them, and it does so in keeping with my voice.

I will hold the book launch for The Examined Life at the studio I call home, Centre Luna Yoga, at 231 Saint-Paul West, suite 200 on Friday, November 8 from 19h30-20h30. I’ll introduce the book, do a short reading and then celebrate with you all with wine and vegan treats. I’d like to invite you all to be a part of this milestone event in my career and in my life. Come help me celebrate the culmination of so many hours of hard work and determination…after all, none of it means anything if I don’t have anyone around me to celebrate with 😉

I hope to see you all there!
