The Emigrant Woman's Tale

by Csilla Toldy and Fil Campbell
40 pages and 10 truck CD with songs, poems and spoken word with music published in 2015
Piano and guitar - Fil Campbell
Cello - Nuala Curran
Percussion - Tom McFarland
"If a soul seeking - prior to its fall into the manifestation of life - an efficient way in which to develop and grow through adversity, oppression and insecurity, then Ms Toldy is certainly a mistress of such a design.
This pilgrimage of a journey has been beautifully and poignantly expressed through her writings and poetry; none more so than in her in her latest book The Emigrant Woman’s Tale.
It would be a mistake to venture or even attempt any critique on this work, other than to say, read it with an open heart, and know yourself better!"
Keith ap Owen

Angel Fur and other stories
​
A telling feature is the ruthlessness that sometimes transforms experience from the everyday to the thrilling. A mysterious justice takes command, and a dark morality is exerted. This is compelling trans-national writing, unconventional in engagement, and a pleasure from start to finish. Mary O’Donnell (author of Where They Lie)
Csilla Toldy’s stories burst on the page, taking us to unfamiliar worlds. After reading this collection, nothing sits in quite the same place as before.
David Park (author of Travelling in a Strange Land)
Csilla Toldy's pithy and carefully engineered short tales reach parts of the psyche other tales typically do not reach. And once they’ve reached those parts they linger and provoke in the manner of the best parables.
Carlo Gébler (author of Confessions of a Catastrophist)

Meditation - the ripple effect
​
This five-week course is designed for teaching yourself meditation at home. After each week's tasks, you will find a link to an audio file that you should listen to every day during that week.
The course was designed especially for parents and teachers of children on the autistic spectrum, but as we are all “special”, it can be useful for anyone who wishes to learn to meditate and pass it on to their child. This is the ripple effect: When you meditate your environment will feel the benefits, even if they do not practice meditation.
​
The book contains guided meditations for children - that can boost confidence, , concentration and good sleep.
