"This powerful trinity of Black authors invites us into the living room of their hearts, affirming who we are with earthy straight talk, textured diversity, and wise tenderness."—Ruth King
Real talk on living joyfully and coming home to ourselves—with reflective self-care practices to help us on our interconnected journeys of liberation
Join three friends, three Black women, all teachers in the Plum Village tradition founded by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh, in intimate conversation, touching on the pain and beauty of their families of origin, relationships and loneliness, intimacy and sexuality, politics, popular culture, race, self-care and healing. No subject is out of bounds in this free-flowing, wide-ranging offering of mindful wisdom to nourish our sense of belonging and connection with ancestors.
Authors Valerie Brown, Marisela Gomez, MD, and Kaira Jewel Lingo share how the Dharma's timeless teachings support their work for social and racial equity and justice in their work and personal lives. The book offers insights in embodied mindfulness practice to support us in healing white supremacy, internalized racial oppression, and social and cultural conditioning, leading to a firm sense of belonging and abiding joy.

of Radical Acceptance
"This beautiful offering
is a direct and courageous response to the ancestors’ call to heal the
generations before and those who will come after. Having created a
sacred circle, to teach and allow us to listen in, pays honor to the
indigenous ways teachers taught in ancient times. All we need to do is
listen clearly with our hearts. What is being shared here goes beyond
the stories and follows a winding path towards joy and liberation."
—Zenju
Earthlyn Manuel, author of The Shamanic Bones of Zen, The Way of Tenderness, and The Deepest Peace
"In a world that too often leads with the mind, Healing Our Way Home is a true gift from the heart. It transmits the ancient wisdom
of the dharma through story and narrative, painting a beautiful
picture of what wisdom looks and feels like. I found myself constantly
smiling as I moved through these pages. The paths that the three
authors took in their lives is a gift to the dharma as much as the
dharma has been a gift to them."
