Meet toko-pa
Sometimes called a Midwife of the Psyche, Toko-pa’s work focuses on belonging, restoring the feminine, reconciling paradox, elevating grief, and facilitating ritual.

“An exquisitely crafted journey that explores the deep longings of the soul,
the mysterious workings of our dreams, the bittersweet wisdom of the orphaned self and the losses of our lineage that we would rather ignore. Toko-pa Turner speaks with poetry and practicality, pure compassion and profound integrity to the heart of what it means to belong to ourselves, to our people, to our communities and to the earth. Belonging is the book I have been longing to read all my life.”
-Lucy H. Pearce, Amazon bestselling author, Burning Woman, Moon Time, The Rainbow Way

Belonging as an Ecosystem
True happiness depends upon our reciprocity with the environment in which we are embedded, and unto which we are indebted. Our negligence of that reciprocity is, more than any other factor, what fosters unbelonging. It is at the root of loneliness, because without the greater intelligence of the mission coursing through our veins, making our purpose meaningful, we are but isolated bodies going through empty motions.
