Literature & Fiction

Jones, Charlene Diane

Genre Fiction

The memoir of a South Asian immigrant to Canada, whose formative years in India were steeped in a reigning patriarchal culture of honour and shame, in which the burden of the family's good standing rests on the sexual purity of girls and women. The book traces the author's lonely, poignant, often risk-charged struggle to free herself from the oppressive code. As well, the book chronicles her courageous battle to help other South Asian girls and women in Canada step out of their kinsmen's ancient cultural cycle and claim their gender rights as fully equal Canadian citizens.

Memoirs

"Kiely tackles a hilarious heritage with both hands on the reins and sparks flying from her spurs!" Comments author and equestrian, Hugh Moorsted. "No Poverty Between the Sheets" is a rollicking, sassy, saga of a large family that is half Irish and half French Canadian. This book documents the strong ties that bind generations together. It is a refreshing honest trip down memory lane with vibrant witty resilient characters. A horse theme and song lyrics are nicely woven throughout.

Barbara Trendos weaves a compelling story of a young man’s service as a Canadian Air Gunner and later, as a POW in Stalag Luft III (site of The Great Escape). To accomplish this, she draws on the kriegsgefangenenpost and postkartes her father wrote home from the prison camp; the official war correspondence, telegrams and prison camp photos lovingly saved by her grandmother; interviews with her father; and on her own considerable skills as a creative non-fiction writer.

Ron Kurtz and Donna Martin met in 1990. Ron and Donna began teaching together almost immediately and at around the same time, Ron had the inspiration for the practice of Loving Presence.It can be said that when the mind is quiet, the heart will do the work.Research has confirmed that the most significant predictor for a successful therapeutic outcome is the quality of the therapist’s relationship with the client. Ron recognized that the ideal state of mind for therapists – which can be cultivated with practice – was what he called “Loving Presence”. Not only did Ron recognize the power of this state of mind for therapists (as well as for anyone in any kind of significant relationship), but he was able to brilliantly articulate a sequence of stages to cultivate this way of being.It was Ron’s wish that the practice of Loving Presence be made available to as many people as possible. This is the immense contribution to the world that is the legacy of Ron Kurtz.

Ron Kurtz was the originator of the Hakomi Method and a preeminent innovator and influence in mindfulness-based somatic psychotherapy.Ron died on January 4, 2011. As the originator, he was the final authority on Hakomi. His teachings and materials, hard drives and videos were widely and freely distributed in order for as many people to have access to Hakomi as possible. Some of Ron’s legacy materials are available at www.hakomi.com. Seven years since his death, five of his trainers have collaborated to produce a new version of his teaching manual, one that retains the vitality and authenticity of his voice but one that also matches the pedagogy and curriculum of the Hakomi Education Network training teams. The Hakomi Way: Healing and Consciousness is a compilation of his thoughts, his writings and his talks in one book, his last word on the subject of Hakomi and how he wanted it to be taught and practised after he was gone. Our hope is that it keeps Ron’s voice alive in the midst of the learning and that it contributes to his great legacy.Ron developed the Hakomi Method in the 1970’s and taught and refined it for over forty years. In 1981, he co-founded the Hakomi Institute and, in the mid 90’s, the Hakomi Education Network.Author of Body-Centered Psychotherapy, The Body Reveals, and Grace Unfolding (with Greg Johanson), and a forthcoming book (with Donna Martin) on the Practice of Loving Presence, Ron left numerous papers, essays, training handbooks, as well as decades of video sessions of his brilliant work. He was the recipient of the 2008 Lifetime Achievement Award from the United States Association of Body Psychotherapy. Hakomi is now taught widely throughout the world, including North and South America, the United Kingdom, Europe, Russia, the Middle East, and Asia.
