Karen Lang – författare

Moving Moments explores the insights and wisdom that energy healer and intuitive coach Karen Lang has gathered since the death of her nine-year-old son in 2001.

Following on seamlessly from her first book Courage, Karen guides readers into a deeper understanding of life and death, revealing how our daily choices can lead us into either suffering or freedom. Her book challenges the reader to question life''s adversities, and it offers daily practices to move us through the heavy emotions of anxiety, grief and loss.

Karen''s second book explores how life is made up of precious moments. To be present for each one, we need to embrace both the joy as well as our moments of suffering and pain. The book''s gentle reminders give the reader space to see that adversity can also bring healing and freedom. She shares her own experiences, analogies and the healing power of being in nature.

Moving Moments is rich in wisdom and spirituality, and delivers practical rituals that bring us closer to ourselves and to the abundance of life.

Her book inspires change and transformation, and this helps us to experience each moment fully. 

Karen and Michael had a good life, with two beautiful children. They tried to create a world that was safe and happy. But in June 2001, nine-year-old Nathan-their only son-was hit by a car.

Rushed to hospital with catastrophic injuries, Nathan was in a dire situation; one that quickly evolved into his parents'' worst fear. When the doctors asked Karen and Michael to turn off their son''s life support and consider donating his organs, their lives changed forever.

How could they leave the hospital without Nathan? It did not seem possible. It did not seem fair. But the journey began.

"If only I had known what was to come, I would have clung to each and every moment I had with him."

Karen shares her journey through grief, one step at a time. Her tragic but uplifting story connects readers to her feelings of loss, and it helps them to understand that they are not alone.

Courage gives insight into the wisdom Karen Lang has learned and the practices she embraces to open each door and to see a way through.

What is the relation of art and history? What is art today? Why does art affect us? In Field Notes on the Visual Arts, 75 scholars, curators and artists traverse chronology and geography to reveal the meanings and dilemmas of art. The eight topic headings – Anthropomorphism, Appropriation, Contingency, Detail, Materiality, Mimesis, Time and Tradition – are written by historians of art, literature, culture and science, archaeologists, anthropologists, philosophers, curators and artists, and consider an astonishing range of artefacts. Poised somewhere between Neil MacGregor’s A History of the World in 100 Objects and an academic volume of essays on art, Field Notes brings together voices generally separated inside and outside the academy. Its open approach to knowledge is commensurate with the work of art, aiming to make clear that the work of art is both meaningful and resistant to meaning.
