About The Place That Has Never Been Wounded:
In a world often marked by chaos and uncertainty, it’s easy to feel unmoored, as if the ground beneath you is always shifting. This book is here to serve as your compass: a steady reminder that even when the way forward seems unclear, a path always exists.

Drawing on the principles of mindfulness and written with deep empathy and honesty, this book offers practical ways to reconnect with your inner stillness and meet life’s challenges with patience and clarity. Accompanied by deeply beautiful meditations, this book will anchor you in turbulent times, guide you back when you drift, and help you make sense of life’s heaviest moments.

But it is not a book of rigid rules or quick fixes. Instead, it invites you to slow down, release what no longer serves you, and trust the quiet wisdom that’s always been within. It reminds you that everything you need to endure, heal, and move forward is already inside you. By embracing these principles, you’ll reconnect with your unshaken self – the part that has never been wounded – and find your way home.

Signed copies of the book will be available to purchase from Kennys on the night, and are available to pre-order here.
