“When Jeff Brown dares to speak truth about our spiritual lives, the curtain that’s been covering the wizard comes tumbling down and we recognize that it’s just a dude with his fingers on the controls of our souls and we are emboldened to take back our sovereignty and lament and praise with the whole of our authentic broken open hearts. This little book is a loose thread. Pull it.”
—Mirabai Starr, author of Caravan of No Despair and Wild Mercy
“Jeff Brown is an abiding voice throughout time. His words not only speak to us right now, but also look back to instil clarity to the bewildering sources, causes, and places of where we were, fathering our steps with his special brand of strong courage as we venture into an ever-changing world. Jeff’s newest work, Humanifestations, blankets every human theme imaginable with warm wisdom. Our traumatic experiences, our relationship to emerging truths, and our ongoing transformation are held in caring eyes. Read and be nourished by every affirming morsel. You will feel emboldened by each page. You will come to understand and appreciate the sanctity of your purpose. And you’ll want to keep this potent, validating book with you as you trek into tomorrow.”
—Susan Frybort, author of Open Passages and Look to The Clearing
“Everything Jeff Brown writes has a unique salty feisty savor. He is one of our truly magnificent rebels of the heart. Always looking for new ways to wake us up to the ragged glory of our embodiment and relentlessly both funny and scathing about our inabilities to be simply human. I love Humanifestations and recommend it to all those who know the divine lives in us and as us.”
—Andrew Harvey, co-author of Radical Regeneration with Carolyn Baker
“Jeff’s writing cuts through the gauzy veils of mainstream spirituality. He’s an iconoclast by nature, overturning new age tropes with refreshing honesty, but never at the expense of tenderness.”
—Toko-pa Turner, bestselling author of Belonging: Remembering Ourselves Home
“I’ve always found Jeff Brown’s words to be honest, brave, timely, and timeless, and his latest offering is no exception. Comprised of short, pith-like entries, Humanifestations encourages (and challenges) readers to take an intimate, unflinching look at ourselves, our paradigms, our hearts, our souls, and what it means to be a truly present, transparent and embodied human. In other words, Humanifestations is yet another mic drop moment for Jeff Brown. 100%.”
—Chris Grosso, author of Indie Spiritualist and Necessary Death
“Jeff Brown celebrates… no, stands for, advocates for, fiercely forwards our humanity. That means our traumas and sufferings, our need for compassion and fury, our light and shadow. This book offers daily doses of medicine – medicine that embraces the WHOLE of us, medicine that says “YES” to our messy muddy selves, medicine that serves to activate our immune systems against the seductions of a bypass, and naive “let it go,” “just forgive” culture. Brown offers a vision of a world where we all belong, a world that I truly feel I can live in.”
—David Bedrick, author of You Can’t Judge a Body by its Cover
“In yet another masterful piece of work, Jeff Brown’s Humanifestations speaks to the depths of the human condition and offers us helpful, realistic and compassionate insights and advice. His perspective honors our biopsychosocial and spiritual make-up and is true to the most recent research and recommendations for trauma recovery. The vast landscape of healing and spirituality is inundated with misguided platitudes that often steer us away from where we should be going. Jeff’s refreshingly honest and exacting quotes are a beacon to follow.”
—Carmen Casado, Integrative Somatic Therapist
“Jeff Brown is a master at comprehending what actualization entails. His offering in this book encourages us to move toward, not away from, our humanity. He understands that we find true freedom through the wisdom of the body. Jeff invites us to stop and listen to the wisdom of our souls, urging us to take a step closer towards our own self-actualization. His cry for us to hear the call of our soul is life giving. He suggests that our ability to connect with others increases as we become more authentically connected to ourselves. Oh the joy of that! Humanifestations is a beautiful rallying call to live and love in authenticity. it is both an honouring of the human condition and an inspiration for the spirit. Simply beautiful.”
—Shauna Quigley, creator of the ‘Clearing Method’
