A practical guide to enjoying every day to its fullest and to making every gesture more self-aware. Gratitude is the first book in a series called Daily Rituals, with the intention to change the readers habits for the better and improve the quality of their lives. A book that is a starting point for a path to wellbeing and spiritual growth. The book is divided into the 7 thematic periods of a typical day, which begins with waking up and finishes with falling asleep. For each area, readers will find seven simple rituals taken from the traditions of Buddhism, yoga, oriental and western philosophy and scientific research.

Honjok is the revolutionary philosophy that teaches us to appreciate our moments of solitude and help us transform our self-isolation into a new lifestyle. This book describes Honjok in all of its facets, among which honbap - eating alone, honsul - drinking alone and honnol - playing and spending time alone. The book is structured in short chapters where text, graphics and illustrations work as complementary narrative elements. Each chapter, identifiable by a specific colour, is self-contained and requires no cross-referencing. Readers are free to approach the book in whichever order they prefer with illustrations and infographics that allow them to interact with the book.

Anyone can be a witch! Perfect or not, who cares at the end? The irony of the title lies exactly in that: today, to be a witch is not to be perfect, but rather to look at the world differently, to be aware of the power of nature, and to use it for personal benefit. A book for modern witches that wants to be also, and especially, a way to empower the reader, to not homologate to other people's judgement: it includes 50 moments to be a witch, seeking personal strength and uniqueness. This book introduces magic as a tool for personal growth: from the most intimate and personal situations to the public and social ones, every moment is the right moment to let go of the ordinary in favour of magic. A book that can make us change our point of view on what surrounds us, the people and ourselves, thanks to a witchlike (or a simply boundaries-free!) approach.

Who are shamans? What do they do? Healers. Masters of secret and sacred elements. But do we really know their stories? We hear about them from researchers, poets, ecologists and spiritualists, during an era in which re-establishing a conscious contact with our world is essential. This 50 card oracle deck depicts real Shamans (both famous and lesser known), sacred plants, animals, and the places that inspire them – all explained in an accompanying full coloured booklet.

All living beings have energy and all energy is connected. As such, understandably, our ability to be the cause of that energy – to expel what is unsettling and radiate what is pleasant – is undoubtably related to our wellbeing. Terms like “aura,” “subtle bodies,” and “chakras” are useful to enable an understanding of our psychophysical health, how we connect with the external environment, and what we can do about it. With that, this engaging and life-changing book provides theoretical information and practical approaches to both changing the way we feel, as well as, the energy that most immediately surrounds us, and which connects us to the “universal energy field.”

Every night our mind, re-elaborating the day’s experiences, drags us into the mysterious and elusive places of dreams.

This illustrated book reviews 300 of those recurring symbols, divided into 10 categories. Each page offers an easy-to-grasp presentation of one symbol, coming from multiple times and cultures. Also inside the book, is a suggestion for how to consult it (following a classic alphabetical order, conceptual maps, and mental associations), apply it, and relish the richness of the insights from within your own mind.
