The Abbey of Misrule

By Paul Kingsnorth

Do not be conformed to this world

Asking important questions and not hiding from the answers.

The Gusset

By Sarah C Swett

Field research in the expanse between the tactile and the intangible; noticing yarn, light, line, things that want to be made, and the luminous joy of working with the materials at hand.

Fibre, the art life, morale, joy, materials - everything you could want in a good read.

Always thoughtful writing, from outside the throng.

Immortality Study

By Robert J Coons

Learn Meditation, Qigong and Daoist Literature in the secular tradition founded by Chen Yingning.

Robert's clear writing is full of humour and Taoist wisdom. 'Everyone despises a micromanager and everyone loves someone who leads by example and spreads positivity. Have you ever thought that positivity is in fact a very simple thing? Everyone knows what it is, almost everyone appreciates it, and it doesn't require anything except a change of mind.'

Writing Home

By Dougald Hine

A series of letters and essays from Dougald Hine. Turning aside from the one big path that was meant to lead to the future, no longer in service to its promises, asking what else is worth doing with the time we have.

Unpicking modernity with compassion.

Caravanserai

An artist lighting her way through dark times by relearning forgotten art practices and natural ways.

A bright window into ancient art materials, early Arabic calligraphy, plus art and research from this London-based Lebanese artist, whose work and books I love.
