Homecomings - 52 Ways Back to Ourselves by Elaine Patterson

NEW BOOK and CARD DECK with accompanying Vintage Stamps Sets and Candles from Elaine Patterson and Friends from the Centre of Reflection and Creativity

Welcome to ‘Homecomings: 52 Ways Back to Ourselves’ – a collection of reflective soliloquys and creative resources intended to inspire you come home to yourself again and again. 

About the Book…. 

It is my hope that this collection of 52 soliloquys – with their supporting creative and journaling practices – can inspire you to explore what it means to belong, and how you can come home to yourself again and again as a foundational and invitational heart-based practice for our times. This has never been more necessary or more important if we are to discover or reclaim how we can live – in the midst of all that is happening for us personally and on the global stage – with joy, beauty, generosity, compassion, courage, kindness, wonder, reciprocity, wisdom and grace.

This collection started life as handwritten journal entries and musings – with supporting creative invitations and journaling prompts – over a two-year period during the COVID lockdowns in the UK. They are now shared with love to stimulate your own exploration of the many different ways in which you can find yourself. 

As Karyn Prentice Author of ‘Nature’s Way – Designing the Life you Want through the Lens of Nature and the Five Seasons’ writes in the Foreword….

“From Stilling to Solitude and from Self to Soul this book is a bow

to the art of imagination, to deep reflection, and to the radiance

of finding the lights of home on, the kettle whistling and warm

music saying, ‘Welcome Back”.
