Solid Ground of Being

Illusions, delusions, or faulty beliefs prevent us from seeing clearly and acknowledging what we truly are ... beyond personality and even beyond individuality.

A spiritual journey that’s honest, simple, and might just shift your whole perspective.

In Solid Ground of Being, Art Ticknor doesn’t pretend to be a guru — he’s just a real person who went deep in search of truth. By sharing the raw, simple facts of his own path, he opens a door for the rest of us — not to follow his steps, but to realize that a whole different way of experiencing life might actually be possible.

With a conversational vibe and the heart of a storyteller, Art invites you to explore what it means to go beyond the mind — to connect with something real, grounded, and satisfying underneath all the noise.

This book isn’t about hype or hacks. It’s about presence. Clarity. Something solid. And if you're even a little curious about what's actually real in life, this one’s for you.

“To inspire another with a possibly unimagined possibility — and to encourage another to persevere.”
— Art Ticknor
