About this listen

A 2017 Nautilus Gold Award winner.

Feel like you don’t belong? You’re not alone. The world has never been more connected, yet people are lonelier than ever. Whether we feel unworthy, alienated, or anxious about our place in the world, the absence of belonging is the great silent wound of our times.

Most people think of belonging as a mythical place, and they spend a lifetime searching for it in vain. But what if belonging isn’t a place at all? What if it’s a skill that has been lost or forgotten?

With her signature depth and eloquence, Toko-pa maps a path to belonging from the inside out. Drawing on myth, stories, and dreams, she takes us into the origins of our estrangement, reframing exile as a necessary initiation into authenticity. Then she shares the competencies of belonging: a set of ancestral practices to heal our wounds and restore true belonging to our lives and to the world.

I didn’t want to listen to this as a review about the heavy breathing was putting me off, but a friend had read it and recommended it highly, and she wasn’t wrong. I listened through ear phones which took the distracting gasps down a little and when you engage with the words and flow of the book, you don’t notice and reading this far out ways the negative. At times I thought it should be called “Longing” as I felt that I could never achieve the belonging she talks about, but at other times, the calling to crafts and circles and ancestors, spoke to me and I could identify my path to belonging.
This is a very deep book and I think the inclusivity of her views are amazing. All are welcome. This is define a book I would listen to again.

Complexly beautiful

Toko has a lovely voice, but i had to remind myself that if i were listening to a friend, i wouldn't mind if their intake of breath was so loud :-p it startled me. Narating her own work was probably not a good idea.

really good
