The Art Of Integration
The Book Of Love
A limited-edition hardback for turning spiritual awakening, plant medicine experiences, and deep inner realisations into embodied life.
What happens when awakening becomes embodied in real life?
Many people experience profound moments of awakening through plant medicine, ego death, spiritual realisation, or deep inner truth, but then return to the same jobs, relationships, addictions, behaviours, and patterns because they do not know how to integrate what they have seen.
The ceremony is not the transformation. Integration is.
The Art of Integration, The Book of Love was created for the people who are ready to stop outsourcing their transformation and begin living from the truth of their own heart.
For years I looked for transformation in experiences, teachers and answers outside myself. The deeper work began when I asked how an insight becomes a way of living. This book gathers that lived inquiry into 21 chapters on self-awareness, love, patterns, ego, embodiment, relationship, sovereignty and integration. It is one person’s spiritual understanding and reflective practice, not a diagnosis, treatment or promise of a particular outcome.
This is the wisdom you wish you received from a shaman, but never had. This is not a ‘How to' guide; it is a self-leadership initiation for walking your own soul prophecy, and a manual for the evolutionary integration of the human psyche, a rapid acceleration of transformation through ego death and soul life purpose, achieved through the process of integration, working in conjunction with plant medicines, walk-ins, the innate, spirit animals, and human evolution. This book is guiding home my brothers and sisters, narrowing the choice to one choice, one love.
For men who read this book, it can be an eye-opener; for women it can be a source of hope; and for everyone, it can be life-changing. So what are you waiting for? Choose LOVE.

Kickstarter offerings
For the Kickstarter, I am creating a limited collection of first-edition offerings around the book, including signed hardbacks, sacred altar bundles, artwork, companion materials, ceremonial items, and a small number of personal or community experiences for those who feel called to go deeper.
Offerings May Include:
Abundance Edition Hardback 1/8
Receive 1 of 8 Limited Exhibition Edition uncorrected proof hardbacks of The Art of Integration: The Book of Love.
10 were printed for Hazel Golden’s Prophecy Exhibition at Poole Lighthouse in June 2026 but arrived too late. After keeping one and giving one to my partner, the remaining eight form the ♾️ Abundance Edition, honouring infinity, flow and abundance.
First Light Edition
All books will be signed and numbered and first-print collectors' editions. These will be the official publication books. Depending on how much is raised, these will be outstanding works of art for your altar and your book collection.
The Kickstarter Collector Edition will have its own ISBN and specifications and will be signed and numbered.
Front Cover Signed Artwork
This powerful piece of art is coded with initiation. Put it on your wall to help you acknowledge your journey with it.
Ceremonial Beeswax Candle
These are not ordinary candles. I work organically with natural beeswax, which, when burned, gives off natural elements that clean and scent the air. Perfected over several years to create the most magical candle that will not only protect you during your ceremony, but feed you with insight, and if you're lucky, you may want to make a wish and see if it comes true.
Altar Cloth Bundle
Create a dedicated space for reading, reflection and ceremony with this premium altar bundle, designed to bring the teachings of The Art of Integration into physical practice and reverence.
Heart & Shadow Spirit Animal Reading
A session with me to identify your most prominent and powerful spirit animals of heart and shadow, because true freedom means knowing both your light and your darkness, and with this special animal reading, you will receive special guidance on how to understand their unique messages and how they relate to your current path.
Why Kickstarter?
Kickstarter lets the first print run be made with the people who want it, rather than guessing demand or weakening the object to fit a mass-market format. Your pledge pays for final proofing and prepress, the hardback print run, premium production, packing, campaign fees and a realistic contingency. This campaign will fund the first sacred hardback print run and allow early supporters to receive the premium first edition before any later standard editions are created.
Backers are not just buying a book. They are helping birth the first volume of a four-book body of work, with much more to come.

Be part of the first edition
This book is for those on the path of awakening who want to bring spiritual insight into daily life through self-awareness, love, sovereignty, embodiment, reflection, and personal responsibility. A self-leadership initiation for walking your own soul prophecy, designed to make real change possible.
This is a tangible spiritual artefact, designed to be held, worked with, returned to, and placed on an altar. It is not a digital product, a clinical manual, or a detached theory. It is a lived, grounded body of work born from direct experience. As co-founder of Golden Life Publishing with my partner Hazel Golden, this is the first book to be self-published by us.
We create books that emerge from lived spiritual practice, offered as vessels of love, beauty, and awakening. Each publication is a physical, intentional, human-made bridge from the old paradigm of thinking to a new way of heartfelt being. Each published work is created outside the machinery of mass publishing, away from formula, artificiality, and fear-based conformity. We honour the raw, the true, the beautiful, and the alive.
I am asking the first readers of this work to help Golden Life Publishing make a signed and numbered hardback edition, an object designed to be held, revisited and placed with intention. The proof exists. The manuscript is complete. This campaign funds the final production, premium specification and careful delivery of the first edition.
