About this listen

There are qualities we all yearn to experience in our lives - peace, simplicity, grace, connection, clarity. Yet these qualities evade us, because each of them arises from an experience of wholeness, and we live in a culture that enforces divisions within each of us.

In Radical Wholeness, Philip Shepherd shows the countless ways in which we are persuaded to separate from the body and live in the head. Disconnected from the body's intelligence, we also disconnect from the wholeness of the present. This schism within us is the primary source of stress not just in our personal lives, but for the systems of the planet.

Drawing from neuroscience, anthropology, physics, the arts, myth, personal stories, and his experiences helping people around the world to experience wholeness, Philip Shepherd illuminates what true wholeness means and offers practices designed to help listeners soften into the intelligence of the body. Radical Wholeness is a call to action: to recover wholeness and experience a new way of being.

What a lovely poets voice speaking to what I 'seefeel' more and more: Wholeness. With so few others talking about this essential topic Philip Shepherd's voice of wisdom invites me into relaxing into Wholeness more easily in a more convinced and less self-censuring way. It is good to recognise that noticing Wholeness is not 'just in my imagination' and definately not 'just in my head'. Thank you, Mar

In Philip Shepherd's second book, he stands like a poet on the battlefield singing the song of our times. Exploring the way we have arrived at this place, this retreat into a culture of abstract thinking, crowning the decisive top-down 'knowledge knows best' society that allows us, as a culture, to consume our world with mere lip service to any consequences. To the point where we have become blind to our sense of the wholeness of everything, our participation in this wholeness, and can only theorize about it. We no longer feel it, or know it in our bones. We no longer feel our place in the world, except as a sense of entitlement. Philip explores this with an uncanny clarity, recognizing the way our body has been treated in the same way, and how we suffer the separation from the whole in our experience. Our sense of being.
And at the same time he also does a wonderful thing: he speaks about all of this from the experience of wholeness, from a deeply grounded awareness of the differing qualities of thinking we can access. He encourages our awareness back into a bodily sensitivity (there are exercises to play with) where we can begin to recover our partnership with our physical self, and through this, with the world around us.
A wonderful book, that opens the door to perhaps the only place you will specifically explore the support our heads cannot provide: wholeness. Philip Shepherd's work is a much needed missing piece in the puzzle of what it is to be embodied, conscious, grounded, and alive, and this book will help you unlock all of these ideas. Read it, and give it some time to sink in, and then read it again and find how your relationship with the world has begun to deepen. Your experience will make more sense!

Philip teaches/facilitates workshops that explore our body's awareness of the themes explored in the book, and one of the themes is the difference between presence and presentation. Presence as a state of mutual relationship, and presentation as an attempt to make someone receive our information. It's why we listen to a sample before we buy an audiobook: sometimes we can hardly hear the book for the efforts of the narrator. Philip's narration is rather, his sharing of his understanding and actually adds clarity to the text. It's a beautiful gift.

I always feel drawn to books, and this one was no exception. I'm looking for something, aren't we all? I usually find the sense of something that feels right but I'm still not quite there, always outside looking in.
This book took me right to the centre of my search, and it's no surprise to find that I met myself there. However, there are different ways to meet self and Phillip brings you home in the truest sense of the word.
I'm starting to sense parts of myself that have been dormant for years and I can feel old unhelpful patterns fading for the first time in decades.
This is only the start of my journey and I will be forever grateful that this book crossed my path.
Thank you Philip.
