What holds us in life? Explore the gifts that move through our relationships with people, places, and the living world.
In his latest, and last, book Chris Kinman brings personal stories, philosophy, and decades of therapeutic thinking into a conversation about care, community, and belonging.
WELCOME TO RHIZOME WAY
The Gift explores how care, knowledge, and possibility move through relationships and generations. Written for those who accompany others—and those curious about the worlds we share—it invites a different way of attending to life.
The Gift is written for:
Reflections on family therapy, collaborative practice, and the relationships that sustain people beyond the consulting room.
Stories and ideas about community, ecology, philosophy, and the gifts already moving through ordinary lives.
Alongside The Gift, the Territories of the Alive trilogy explores gifts, community, and professional life.
