Roots and Wings (Paperback)

Paperback. What if the wisdom we need has been with us all along?Roots & Wings is a warm and deeply human exploration of the wisdom women have carried through generations - in kitchens and gardens, through motherhood and hardship, in stories, rituals, touch, music, nature and the ordinary acts of caring for one another.Drawing together lived experience, family memory, positive psychology and therapeutic practices, Rona A. Ryan explores how many of the things we now give names to - mindfulness, gratitude, resilience, connection and wellbeing - were woven into women's everyday lives long before theory gave them labels.This is not a book about becoming someone new. It is about remembering what is already within us: learning from the women who came before, recognising our own strengths, taking time to nurture ourselves, and passing something gentler and stronger to the generations that follow.Our roots are their wings - and one day, their wings will become someone else's roots. A warm self-help book weaving women's wisdom, family stories, positive psychology and holistic practices into a message of resilience, self-care and reclaiming the self.
