Language of the Soul: A Path of Simplicity offers a deep exploration into learning the language of one's Soul. A language that is unique within every human being. The book details the challenges and opportunities we encounter in the world on our path to inner wisdom. Offered through the lens of teaching stories, social commentary and clearly outlined practice, we learn our own Soul's language. This approach focuses on a deeply conscious yet non-doctrinal, non-dogmatic cultivation of self-knowledge. Knowledge that is steeped in deep rest, energetic meditation and a willingness to embrace one's depth.

This book breaks new ground in the social and cultural history of eighteenth-century music in Britain through the study of a hitherto neglected resource, the lists of subscribers that were attached to a wide variety of publications, including musical works. These lists shed considerable light on the nature of those who subscribed to music, including their social status, place of employment, residence, and musical interests. Through broad analysis of subscription data, the contributors reveal insights into social and economic changes during the period, and the types of music favoured by groups like music clubs, the aristocracy, the clergy, and by men and women.
