My first mindfulness book in what will become a series in 2023, Darker than Dark combined my own passion for photography, with a poem, inspired by my own journey with mental health, to create a book that introduces mindfulness in full colour to entice all the senses.

Each verse of poetry sits on a lone page, complemented by a facing photograph, which takes you on a journey from darkness to full colour through the book, filled with inspiration for mindful moments, and an opportunity to just breathe.

Following the two part poem, there are a number of my favourite photographs with sensory descriptions on how to initiate your senses, use mindfulness and take a mini-break from your day.

Great as a self-retreat book, or to learn compassion for those affected by depression, and inspiration to seek beauty in the little things around you through mindfulness.
