Here there are some of the books that have been (and some still are) good companions of my journey into the Feminine.
Some of them really touched my heart and gifted me with new perspectives and amazing insights. Some others have been workbook for a while, and few others I still find myself going through them again and again since several years.
They are coming from different background and are written for different purpose and public, but I consider them all a really inspiring source of knowledge and understanding of all that are dear to my quest around the Feminine.
I hope they can help and inspire also other women in their own journey..
They are in different languages, but whenever possible, I've tried to have the English title and the translation I eventually know into other languages.
All my gratitude to the writers, scholars, poets and artist that I've joined through their pages..
