Books

Maps for being human. A growing body of work across multiple series: reflections on relationships and belonging, the Human Systems books on how groups of people actually work, quiet companions for prayer and restoration, and a fierce stream about the parts of us we were taught to quiet. Written to be read slowly, argued with, and lent to somebody else.

Books by Sharon Mackenzie · Published by Spirit Led Counselling

A 2-book series

The Art of Being Human

Read in any order but written as one journey: what we were told was too much, and the rooms where we finally belong. Warm, funny, a bit odd — and entirely serious about people.

The Human Systems Series

What happens between people — and what happens to us because of it. My central body of work: how cultures form, how patterns repeat, how roles develop, how dysfunction sustains itself, how belonging shapes us — and how the individual finds their way back to themselves inside it all.

Wild & Holy

A fierce, tender, slightly irreverent series about the parts of us we were taught to quiet, tame, apologise for, spiritualise away, or make more acceptable — anger, grief, instinct, voice, creativity, courage and the sacred wildness of being fully alive.
