At the Edge: What Is Mine to Do? And Who Can I Do It With?

Around this time last year, I was enduring an extended period of insomnia and a deep sense of heartbreak at the climate and ecological breakdown of this planet. I was in a Roger Hallam rabbit hole (if you know, you know), catalysing my pain into the midst of confusion and sadness. I have to say there’s much gratitude for my body to react this way, because it is a great reminder of what it means to be human. I still get the occasional sleepless night and a wave of fear, but I now feel less alone in that, and it is in part thanks to Kim. This book is a book of love and service. It is clarity in the chaos of it all, and I am forever indebted to Kim; she’s shown me a real sense of understanding of today’s ecological and social crises that permeate our world and bring us to the edge of enduring collapse. Even though this book covers highly illusive and harsh themes, it paradoxically feels intimate, friendly and warm. It’s not just Kim’s voice, but incorporates many people and their stories which gives it a real sense of togetherness and humility. The frameworks it offers are ways to sail the storm and to find meaning instead of resorting to despair. It fits into a growing space of those attempting to discern the meta crisis, which includes seminal thinkers: Nates Hagen, Iain McGilchrist, Daniel Schmachtenberger, Nora Bateman, Johnathan Rawson, Alexa Firmenich and many more who offer seeking sanity in a modern landscape predicated on insanity.

Excellent book. easy to read - choc full of information and advice. Thank you so much for this book. It is helping me refine what is mine to do.

What a wonderful read! Huge gratitude to Kim for drawing so much together in terms of where we are headed and finding what is ours to do. She has drawn on many sources enabling us to recognise which aspects chime for us personally. Life continues to bring us joy and what is ours to do brings us joy because it is the sacred pathway we have found with others that we want to follow. Thank you so much Kim!

A wonderful guide to help me find the narrow path between denial and despair - a must read - thank you Kim!

This book is an absolute treasure, Kim’s gift to the world written from the heart and filled with a wealth of wisdom! More than a 5-star read. Reading this book is the best investment everyone can make (at this point in time) towards a thriving sustainable future - for yourself and all you are connected to. Upon digesting the wisdom between the pages you will have ALL that you need to navigate these ‘in-between’, transitional times, and create our emergent futures. I am in awe at how Kim has so wonderfully written this book in a way that delivers all of her guidance in such an easy, joyful read. What are you waiting for? The ‘more beautiful world our hearts know is possible’ is waiting on the other side ;) Why is this book a must-read? We find ourselves existing at such an interesting time between worlds… While there is no map to navigate the storms ahead, Kim gifts us a ‘handrail for the heart’ to find, feel and follow our own paths through. And shows us the importance of taking our inner journeys in company. I am so incredibly grateful to have connected with Kim and to have a dear friend and mentor in her. It doesn’t feel possible to put into words just how much I’ve been helped by the guidance and wisdom Kim has so kindly shared; and it is truly impressive that she has captured all this wisdom, knowledge and experience into such a beautifully written book that it is a joy to read. As well as 'Whats Mine to Do', this book has helped me to remove the word ‘struggle’ from my story. Through following and embodying the knowledge (and magik) Kim shares I’ve been able to find peace and calm in my heart, mind and spirit despite our ‘current consensus reality’ actively attempting to deny each of us any such peace. Most importantly Kim regularly reminds us of the JOY we can still find through being collapse-aware in community. This book will help YOU find that too - and what a gift that is! Don't just read this book, feel it, embody it, let it hold you, know that you can return to the wisdom within anytime you need. But most importantly, don’t keep it to yourself, share it widely, and use it as a basis for collective sensemaking/learning/unlearning/healing… Let it guide us beyond the metacrisis together.
