Poetry to Stardust
€17.00
Poetry To StarDust, or PTSD, When twin flames burn to the ground, is my memoir written in poetic verse. Through poetry, I trace the arc of trauma: a love story that turned into something far darker. Across nine parts, the book takes the reader through a journey of love, illusion, survival, pain, and ultimately, healing.

My story begins with falling deeply in love, not with a person as they truly were, but with the version they presented to the world: someone who seemed to embody everything I had ever dreamed of. What felt like a perfect love slowly revealed itself to be something far darker, as the dream fractured into a nightmare of emotional and domestic abuse.

Alone in Ireland, far from my family and without a support system, I found myself navigating a reality I never imagined I would face.

Through each part of this memoir, I explore the aftermath of domestic violence, the invisible wounds, the lingering trauma, and the weight of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). Yet within that darkness, there is movement toward healing. Through poetry, I began to reclaim my voice, transforming pain into something that reaches beyond survival.
```
Poetry To StarDust is both my testimony and my offering. I share my truth in the hope that the cycle of domestic violence may be interrupted, that others may find recognition, strength, and a way out, or, at the very least, feel seen.
```
```
Sometimes, 
                   being seen 
                   can be everything.

Heart to Heart
€16.95
From His Holiness the Dalai Lama and Mutt’s cartoonist and award-winning author Patrick McDonnell comes a powerful and timely gem of a book on how to heal our relationship with the planet and each other. At the Dalai Lama’s residence in Dharamsala, India, an unusual visitor has arrived. His Holiness interrupts his morning meditation to greet a troubled Giant Panda who has travelled many miles to see him.

Welcoming him as a friend, His Holiness invites the Panda on a walk through a cedar forest. There in the shadow of the Himalayas, surrounded by beauty, they discuss matters great and small.

With a galvanizing message about the future of our planet-text by His Holiness accompanied by McDonnell’s masterful illustrations-Heart to Heart calls for a Compassionate Revolution, reminding us that “we are indeed all members of a single family, sharing one little house.” Told with whimsy, wisdom, and warmth, this beautiful book is deceptively simple in its approach and all the more powerful for it, as it elegantly and decisively conveys a message of joy, hope and change.

“There are only two days in the year that nothing can be done. One is called Yesterday, and one is called Tomorrow.”

The Myth of Normal
€19.95
Description

‘It all starts with waking up… to what our bodies are expressing and our minds are suppressing’

Western countries invest billions in healthcare, yet mental illness and chronic diseases are on a seemingly unstoppable rise. Nearly 70% of Americans are now on prescription drugs.

So what is ‘normal’ when it comes to health?

Over four decades of clinical experience, renowned physician and addiction expert Dr Gabor Mate has seen how health systems neglect the role that trauma exerts on our bodies and our minds. Medicine often fails to treat the whole person, ignoring how today’s culture stresses our bodies, burdens our immune systems and undermines emotional balance.

Now, in his most ambitious and urgent book yet, Dr Mate connects the dots between our personal suffering and the pressures of modern-day living – with disease as a natural reflection of a life spent growing further and further apart from our true selves. But, with deep compassion, he also shows us a pathway to health and healing.
