This issue is dedicated to The Golden Season in which we invite you to a new journey of discovery and knowledge around the Mediterranean. Autumn has knocked at our door and it’s time for cozy autumn soups and seasonal dishes, including beetroot and squash. Do you know how to choose the best olive oil? In this issue we have expert tips and uses on how to choose the right olive oil and understanding the different types. For off season travel adventurers we have destinations that will inspire you to pack your bags again and fly away. We visit the famous wineries of Santorini, the island of Patmos, the Etna volcano and Ronda, a lesser-known jewel in Spain that once fascinated the famous Ernest Hemingway and Orson Welles. And last but not least we come to the ultimate question that also preoccupied Aristotle: What is happiness and how does one become happy?

When we constantly feel hungry and overeat, sometimes it’s not about the food. In this important book, a weight management expert presents the proven-effective Anchor Weight Management System to help people finally end their struggles with emotional eating and weight gain. For over fifty years, nutritional and medical scientists have dissected the problem of obesity. The result of this half-century of investigation has been a series of recommendations about what and how much to eat, and an unintended consequence is that we’ve been deprived of the joy of eating. From low-fat diets to the no-carb craze, the market has been continually flooded with one assortment of fad products and diets after another. So, when does it end? If you’re struggling with emotional overeating and are trying to lose weight, you should know that you don’t need to deny yourself certain foods. In The Emotional Eating Workbook, you'll learn about the real psychological needs that underlie your food cravings, how to meet those needs in positive ways, be mindful of your body, and find the deep satisfaction many overeaters seek in food. It’s not about food. It’s about how food is used to self-soothe, numb ourselves against the pain of living, or self-medicate in coping with stress and unresolved emotions. The Anchor Program™ approach detailed in this book is not about dieting. It’s about being anchored to your true, authentic self. When you find your unique anchor, you will relate better to your body, you'll know intuitively how to feed your body, and you'll reach the weight that’s right for you.

A Three Month and Three Part Food Diary series of enhancing the mind, body, heart, and soul through all Fruits of the Spirit

At first sight it, may appear unreasonable to say that conferences, or spiritual lectures, delivered within the walls of a single convent, having its own special character, not written by their author, but from memory by his devout hearers, can promise much usefulness beyond the order to which that house belonged, or at most, beyond the sphere of religious life. Now, so far from this being, in our judgment, the case, we consider them practically calculated to do much good beyond the cloister and the chapter-house of monastery or convent. They will be read, we trust with pleasure, and we are sure with profit, by devout persons living in the world, by clergy and laity; the former of whom will find in them invaluable principles and advice for the guidance of consciences, while the latter cannot fail to derive from their study, consolation, encouragement, and direction.

This great lay mystic reveals that the Gates of Heaven are actually wide open; but that souls choose not to go there unless they are perfect. If they are wicked (in mortal sin); they hurl themselves into Hell. If they die in the State of Grace; but with sins yet unexpiated; they hasten to the appropriate place in Purgatory. St. Catherine says that the sins we expiate in this life are paid for at a very small price indeed compared to what we will pay in Purgatory. A classic!

Nourish: How to Heal Your Relationship with Food, Body, and Self is for anyone who feels they have a challenging relationship with food, whether they are working through recovery from an eating disorder or just don’t feel as good about their body and eating as they would like to. Heidi Schauster writes as a professional in the eating disorders field for more than two decades, as well as a person who has lived experience in recovery. She urges readers to incorporate self-love, self-care, and self-compassion in their decisions about food — instead of self-control or dieting. Her ten-step healing process helps readers design their own self-connected style of eating. This is very different than listening to what someone else tells you to eat. It requires deep listening and attunement to needs, which makes this a unique and holistic nutrition book.

It's time to throw away the diet book and start living intuitively. In our increasingly busy world, how to be healthy has become more and more confusing and our relationship with food is ever-changing and often complex. We're bombarded with so many messages that it's causing a disconnect between us and what true health really is: a connection to our body's innate wisdom. In other words, our intuition. This six-week guide introduces the concept that by using our intuition, we can become experts on ourselves and, in turn, learn how to best navigate our own health and happiness. Each week is broken down into steps, giving you the tools and techniques to make the right food and health choices for you. Through celebrating food, encouraging kindness and embracing a positive body image, Holistic Nutritionist and Life Coach, Pandora Paloma takes you on a journey to reconnect with your body and transform your life.

The publication of the Life of St Catherine of Genoa at this moment is, for several reasons, opportune. The reading of it will correct the misconceptions of many who honestly fancy that the Catholic Church encourages a mechanical piety, fixes the attention of the soul almost, if not altogether, on outward observances, and inculcates nothing beyond a complete submission to her authority and discipline. The life of our Saint is an example of the reverse of that picture. It makes clear the truth that the immediate guide of the Christian soul is the Holy Spirit, and that her uncommon fidelity to the inspirations of the Holy Spirit, made this holy woman worthy of being numbered by the Church among that class of her most cherished children, who have attained the highest degree of Divine love which it is possible for human beings to reach upon earth.

"Mary Lane infuses her cooking, her thinking, her dance on this earth with exquisite feminine grace and wisdom." Gabrielle Roth, author of Sweat Your Prayers & creator of 5RHythms(R) "Mary is a wonderful chef, plant spirit medicine practitioner, lover of nature, and world traveler. Her book is a mystical-made-physical journey into the depths of self, body, and spiritual connection. This long-awaited treasure holds such a simple key to satisfying a deep spiritual connection: nourishing ourselves, body, mind, and spirit, as well as connect with Mother Earth through the sacred act of nourishment. I love, love, love the book, though I have to admit reading of the 'wounding' absolutely tore me apart... truly from the heart." Dianne Seale "Mary's book offers us a brilliantly conceived and richly layered compilation of the wisdom of the ages. Mary's offering draws from her many years of study as well as from her own experience and direct communication with the Divine. Ranging from a profound explanation of the very forces of Creation to practical suggestions for embodying these forces in daily life, Mary's book is a true guide for healing and restoring the Divine Feminine within us and in our world." Katia Wolf "Finally.....I am sitting in my room in Rome and using the extraordinary early awakenings to read Mary's book in total...not just fragments allowed to me over the last few months. I am touched by the passion of her conviction and knowledge and opened to tears of recognition of dynamics long left without words. She has had some amazing journeys that I am thrilled to read about again in book form. It gives outline to a journey that often can be daunting as there is no map for this ride However, she tells it with the grace of hindsight with all of the trials and glory, highs and lows that come with this human form with a desire and commitment to live a spiritual life. Kudos to Mary and the healing for those who come to read her story." Stevie Gayle
