"Weaving together thread and written word, the gift of these beautiful pages is the exploration of our deep and sacred connection to the wildness within and surrounding us. It is a homage to the resiliency of the human spirit. This book is not only a visual gift, but a deeply felt invitation for each of us to dig into our wild selves; to howl, shimmer and soar."
~ Deb Matlock, Nature Based Soul Guide, Founder of Wild Rhythymns, LLC
“Enriching and soulful. Reading the evocative poetry, interlaced with exquisitely original weavings, you feel your heart opening to a heightened level of emotion and discovery. Savor this empowering book.”
~ Phyllis Klaus, PsyD Psychotherapist, Author of four books including When Survivors Give Birth: Understanding and Healing the Effects of Early Childhood Abuse on Childbearing Women.
“Tapestry weaving is an art form where the structure of the cloth is created at the same time images are formed, slowly and in pieces. In this moving volume, poet and weaver build a world for us about humanity’s experience of nature and life. Enjoy this expression of the tapestry we all build day by day, one strand at a time.”
~ Rebecca Mezoff, Artist, Tapestry Weaver and Author of The Art of Tapestry Weaving: A Complete Guide to Mastering the Techniques for Making Images with Yarn
"Every counselor or therapist who works with children should have a copy of Anne Malver’s books, My Safe Place: A Mindful Journey Toward Healing and Well-Being, and My Yucky Feeling. My Yucky Feeling allows an entrée to be explored and shared by a child who does not have the words for what they experienced. My Safe Place engages the potential for healing for a child. The meaning of these books is a sensitive metaphor for one of the major traumas of our time, childhood sexual abuse. These gentle but profound books provide a safe way for a child to express feelings or events of abuse or other trauma that they cannot express otherwise."
~ Phyllis Klaus, LMFT, LMSW
Author of When Survivors Give Birth: Understanding and Healing the Effects of Early Childhood Abuse on Childbearing Women, The Doula Book, Bonding, and Your Amazing Newborn.
