The Women’s Circle
Anoushka Florence
The Women’s Circle is your practical guide to hosting women’s circles with intention, purpose and meaning, making them a healing and empowering experience of gathering community.
A women’s circle is a gathering of women in order to share, experience and relish in each other’s company. They are the ultimate ‘safe space’, a place where women can commune, open up and feel seen and heard. Sacred Space Holder Anoushka Florence invites you to reclaim the women’s circle by exploring and remembering the true power of your feminine.
Beautifully illustrated with full-colour photography, The Women’s Circle is a practical and inspiring guide to hosting circles of your own. Including the history of circles, the importance of gathering, and steps for hosting 35 different rituals with the women in your life – a bridal blessing, mamahood blessing, memorial circle, new love circle, grief circle, sun circles, moon circles and circles to honour the change of season.
Seeking to revive, reclaim and remember the tradition of the women’s circle, The Women’s Circle will bring back to life this ancient feminine practice illustrating the benefits, healing, and magik that occurs when women gather. This is an opportunity for the reader to call in their community, gather and connect. Never has there been a more important time to rediscover the power of women’s circles.

Helen Fisher
To be sovereign is your birth right. As you choose the path of awakening, you set the intent to come back home to your freedom and sovereignty.
Awaken to a New World is a transformational and inspiring journey of awakening, living from a state of surrender to embody true sovereignty.
The author shares her inspiring and subjective journey of releasing a lifetime of battles with addiction and of awakening to see through the illusion of a dark and destructive mindset, resulting in the realisation of the true power within to create a new world based on LOVE.
The book holds an energetic resonance that will initiate an awakening and healing process in yourself too, to allow you to begin your own journey into REMEMBERING who and what you really are as a human consciousness living NOW.
This book was guided by the collective consciousness of the children. The children are our future. They are asking us to step fully into who and what we really are in these transformational times on the planet. To remember requires you to unravel the enslaved mind that is filled with conditioned programming and generational patterns.
There is no other time than NOW to begin to see through the veil of illusion and to release what holds you back from fully embodying your own superpowers, and allowing yourself to consciously create a free world.
You are ready to go on a journey of awakening to remember who and what you really are.

Hammer, Sickle and Broom: A Memoir of Intergenerational Trauma in Azerbaijan
Gulara Vincent
In the 1980s, the day-to-day life of a female in a provincial city within Soviet Azerbaijan feels like a curse. Gulush witnesses this in the lives of her suicidal mother and hardened grandmother. Growing up in an oppressive environment, she struggles to choose between her solid, yet harsh, grandmother and her free-spirited, yet reckless, young mother. Her personal struggle with coming of age in a patriarchal society is aggravated by the war with Armenia and the collapse of the Soviet Union, as everything she was led to believe in crumbles around her. The tale of the struggles and tribulations of these three generations of women in times of dramatic societal change creates a unique window into a time and world that remains largely unknown.
Gulara Vincent is a mother of two, an energy healer, writer and associate university law lecturer. Using a variety of healing methods, she helps her clients to locate and dissipate the stuck energy of any trauma. She is passionate about helping women create true connection in their relationships.

A Missing Mother – A Story of Childhood Loss
Joy Coutts
The fictional story of little Marianne Bouchard set in 1942/43 through 2000 sees events through her eyes of growing up and then her grown-up life – all experienced without her mother.
Intertwined with this is Valérie’s wartime story, her missing mother. It reveals the experiences of a woman’s role within the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force or WAAF and Special Operations Executive during World War II. A life that her daughter discovers the previously unknown and uplifting truth about 57 years later.
Was Valérie really who she thought she was? What secrets about the war had her grandmother Winnie kept hidden? From her dining room table, Marianne begins an investigation linking events and clues, then embarks on a journey of discovery to find the missing mother she never knew.
The backdrop of Valérie’s wartime story tells of the bravery and courage of the women agents who served in the Special Operations Executive. In fighting for freedom and peace from the Nazi regime, many of them never returned to their homes and families.
These women played their amazing – if unbelievably true – part in defeating the tyranny in 1940s Europe. The story of the female SOE operatives is as fascinating as it is harrowing. They were ordinary women – wives, sisters, daughters, mothers. The sad and disturbing element of this is the fact that the real, detailed story of most of these women did not receive the public or authorities’ recognition of their commitment and bravery until many years later. The author pays homage to these brave souls and their contribution to peace and freedom.
Joy Coutts is an editor, proofreader and writer, a lover of words and observations on life and a wild sea womanin the northeast of England. A Missing Mother is her first book. Find out more about Joy here.
