"If, after reading this book, your life hasn’t changed and you don’t feel renewed and awakened, read it again, more slowly." From the foreword by Thomas Moore, New York Times bestselling author Care of the Soul

“I have not been as electrified by a book since Women Who Run with the Wolves." Lisbeth Cheever-Gessaman, artist and illustrator of The Divine Feminine Oracle

Part mythological exploration, part cultural commentary, and part personal memoir, The Flesh and the Fruit shows us the power of creative transgression as we move toward new ways of being and living. Dr. Leilani empowers us to find our own knowing, permission, and blessing as we walk out of the “shoulds” and into our own nature and wildness. In these pages you will encounter the archetypal Eve – not the literalized Eve that has for so long served as justification for horrific environmental and social injustices, but the mythic Eve who liberates. Weaving in her own lived experience of stepping beyond the boundaries of fundamentalist religion into deeper spiritual sovereignty, Dr. Leilani shows us the power of disobedience to set us free. The Flesh and the Fruit is an invitation for us to step into the center of our own circles, to believe in our beauty and inherent worth rather than in the ancient poisonous tale of our fallenness and depravity. Dr. Leilani encourages readers to challenge the hierarchical systems of power that sever us from ourselves, from each other, and from the Earth and to live from our wild knowing.

“A beautiful blend of scholarship and a life well-lived” Gina Martin, author of the When She Wakes series

PRE-ORDER BONUSES!

PRE-ORDERS ARE NOW CLOSED.

Vanya has three fabulous gifts to share with all those who pre-order The Flesh and the Fruit…

A Conversation with Dr. Moore

In this conversation, Dr. Thomas Moore and Dr. Vanya Leilani explore the experience of creative transgression and the relationship between Eros and transgression. Deeply grounded in the archetypal sensibility and perspective, they discuss the role of obedience and disobedience in the soulful life. In this intimate conversation, Dr. Moore shares his views on what he calls “imaginal theology” and what it means to live in spiritual sovereignty.

The Disobedience Workbook

The Disobedience Workbook is an ebook companion to The Flesh and The Fruit, helping you stitch the ideas and stories of the book into your daily life. With practices like writing prompts, rituals, and imaginal meditations, The Disobedience Workbook will support you in the magic of turning inner revelation into daily lived experience. It will help you explore where the “shoulds” and being “good” are keeping you small and constricted. It will offer tools to aid you in naming where your desire and longing are stirring. And it will help you cultivate the inner permission you need to move out of obedience and into sovereignty.

Meditation: Letting go of Being Good (Extra bonus until August 2!)

All those who order before the August 2 will receive an extra bonus! In this meditation, Vanya weaves word, story, and song into an imaginal journey that invites you out of the garden of obedience and into wildness. In this guided meditation on letting go of being good, you are invited to be held in the wisdom of your body and of the imagination. You will have the opportunity to explore places of obedience in your life, listen deeply to where your desire and longing are stirring, and gather courage and inner permission to disobey, or transgress, where it is required as you step into more wildness and freedom.

As usual, all pre-orders will be signed by the author and come with an exclusive bookmark!

PLEASE NOTE: any other items that you may order in the same transaction as your pre-order will be shipped along with the pre-order when pre-orders close in October.
