Step One is lit. The rest of the path will be announced as each book nears release.

1. Read

Every page begins with a short reflection and an affirmation in plain, gentle language, written fresh for this series.

2. Breathe

A slow breath between the words and the art. Nothing to prove, nothing to get right.

3. Color

Open line art made for unhurried coloring. Gel pens and markers, all welcome.

4. Listen

Guided meditations to go with the pages are being made for the ArtIGURU channel on YouTube. Each book will link straight to its video as soon as it is out.

Step One: Surrender

An adult mindfulness coloring book for recovery

The first step is to stop fighting.

Step One is the moment the fighting stops. This book is a quiet companion for that moment: original reflections, affirmations and line art about loosening the grip, setting down what is too heavy to carry alone, and letting the water settle.

Each spread pairs words to read with a picture to color. The images are pictures of letting go: grips unclenching, doors opening, things held too tightly set free.

It is the first book of the 12-Step Coloring Series. Guided meditations to go with the pages are being made for the ArtIGURU channel on YouTube, and each will be linked from here as soon as it is out.

Words, then a picture

Original reflections and affirmations on every spread, written in plain, gentle language.

Pictures of letting go

The line art is built around release: loosening, opening and settling.

Meditations to match

Guided meditations for the pages are being made. Each one will be linked as soon as it is out.

Book one of twelve

The first book in a series that follows the twelve steps one quiet practice at a time.

A first look inside opens on release day, once Amazon approves the book.
