Radical Wholeness | Free Book
Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physics, the arts, myth, personal stories and his experiences helping people around the world to experience wholeness, Philip Shepherd illuminates what true wholeness means and offers practices designed to help readers soften into the intelligence of the body. Radical Wholeness is a call to action: to recover wholeness and experience a new way of being.
In The Press
“Philip Shepherd has gifted us a book that reframes our basic
understanding of getting the most out of body intelligence. It
rearranges the familiar top-down authorship from cerebral brain to
body and restores body presence to a borderless merging of
intelligence that includes inside/outside and sensory awareness.
Ingest this book and let it ruminate throughout your daily dance. Take
Shepherd’s experiences to heart and practice the exercises he shares
with us to reclaim our inheritance as fully functional breathing
sensing alive awake beings.”
—Vinn Arjuna Martí, Designer of Soul Motion®. A conscious dance
practice.
“Radical Wholeness is an important book. It’s a “deep dive”
into understanding our somatic experience of being and
provides a path back to wholeness. And for students of the Enneagram,
this is a book not to be missed. You’ll be amazed and delighted by how
what Shepherd reveals so exquisitely adds to the exploration of the
three centers of intelligence.”
—Curt Micka, President of the International Enneagram Association
(IEA). (The opinions expressed here are not an endorsement by

“With words of shimmering clarity, Philip Shepherd blows the door
between body and mind off its hinges. Calling us with rigor,
sensitivity, wisdom and imagination towards a future grounded in
resurrected human capacities of awareness, he shows not only why but
also how to develop those capacities, awakening intelligence we didn’t
know we had. Radical Wholeness is sorely needed and
sweet-tasting medicine for a fragmented world.”
—Amnon Buchbinder, author, Biology of Story, Professor of
Screenwriting, York University
“This very wise book shows why it is impossible and ultimately
suicidal to attempt to secede from nature, as our
culture has tried to do through denying our oneness and
wholeness with the world. We are nature, and there is no ‘out there’
that exists independently from our consciousness, our knowing. As Max
Planck, the founder of quantum physics put it, ‘We cannot get behind
consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we
regard as existing, postulates consciousness’—for consciousness, he
said, is ‘fundamental.’ But do not think Radical
Wholeness is merely a philosophical treatise. It is a practical
blueprint for embodying information in the service of human welfare
and survival. Our future depends on the vision Philip Shepherd
powerfully and eloquently presents in Radical Wholeness.”
—Larry Dossey, MD, author,
One Mind: How Our Individual Mind Is Part of a Greater
Consciousness and Why It Matters
“In a culture as broken and fragmented as ours, this book is painfully
overdue. Going beyond outdated notions of ‘holistic,’ Philip Shepherd
has captured the essence of individual embodiment and its
inextricable connection with everyone and everything. What our world
desperately needs now are not more smart homo sapiens, but fully
present and embodied holo sapiens who feel and live in grounded
inter-relatedness. In this book, Shepherd has provided us with an
extraordinary tool kit that tenderly and skillfully integrates
mind, body, and soul with all life in the universe. If you long to
reconnect with your deeper self, other living beings, and the Earth,
you must read this book.”
—Carolyn Baker, PhD, co-author with Andrew Harvey of
Return to Joy and author of
Love in the Age of Ecological Apocalypse: Cultivating the
Relationships We Need to Thrive
“When Philip Shepherd asked me to look at his new manuscript, I was
unprepared for the extraordinary experience that awaited me—within
minutes I literally couldn’t put his book down.
Radical Wholeness was not just talking about, but was literally
speaking to—and invoking—a deeper, more whole and healed part of
myself. While I was reading, I had the overwhelming feeling that it is
as if this book is a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement—real
medicine—secreted by the universe itself to help us heal our
collective insanity. I can’t recommend Radical Wholeness highly
enough.”
—Paul Levy, author of
Dispelling Wetiko: Breaking the Curse of Evil
“Philip Shepherd is a force of nature. Fully embodied and
present in the world, he stands outside the most fundamental
bias of Western culture and offers us nothing less than a new center
to live from. In his hands, wholeness is no longer just an idea or a
goal to strive for; it becomes a visceral experience, and one that can
be accessed at will through brilliantly simple practices. Here
you will find both the vision and the means to come home to your
own wholeness. This luminous book is clearly a lifework. Don’t
miss it. It will transform you.”
—Morgan Farley, PhD., author of Name Yourself Feast
“As a social ecologist I highly recommend this book as a valuable
guide to a new way of being whole in our fragmented world.”
—Ben-Zion Weiss, PhD, author of
The Creativity Revolution: Steps to an Ecology of Culture
“In Radical Wholeness, Shepherd has given us an insight into
what it really means to be human, and it could very well
challenge our fundamental assumptions around this.
Radical Wholeness is a profoundly personal message with
truly global ramifications, written at a time of great need.”
—Michael Anderson, CEO Mediaworks NZ
“Radical Wholeness is a profound, ground-opening, stunning
book—a true masterpiece. Shepherd illuminates the madness of our
western culture and entices the reader to drop into the wholeness that
is always here with a powerful/urgent/gentle invitation to live from
it. The radical wholeness that Shepherd embodies, in my experience, is
the goal of all therapy and spiritual practice. This is one of the
most profound books I have read in twenty-five years of practice and I
will be recommending it to all my peers and clients.
—Natalie Lascelles, Psychotherapist and mindfulness coach
“This wonderful book written with tremendous clarity and profound
wisdom should be in the library or backpack of every spiritual seeker.
Its advice on embodiment is the best around and the practices Shepherd
has evolved are matchlessly effective.”
—Andrew Harvey, author The Hope: A Guide to Sacred Activism
“This is the best book I have read on embodiment, I cannot
recommend it highly enough.”
—Jill Angelo, author
Sacred Space: Turning Your Home into a Sanctuary
“Philip Shepherd shakes up our way of looking at ourselves
and the world. He challenges the way we were taught
to think, and offers us something that
could radically change how we live.
Reading Radical Wholeness offers us real hope, the kind of hope
that sees a way out of the quagmire of living in a
unsustainable way in our own lives and our shared world.
If there was ever a time for this book—this is it! Read it. Breathe it
in. Let it change how you see and live and love your life and the
world.”
—Oriah “Mountain Dreamer” House, author of The Invitation
