“Impetus” is a uniquely designed, thought provoking and healing memoir. The poems, prose, illustrations and vibrant colour musings both soothe and ignite the reader’s soul. Appealing to a wide audience,  Lena’s poetry reflects a journey through despair, oppression and breaking boundaries to finding the joy and freedom that lies within each of us.

A tribute to some of the greatest world philosophers, artists and poets, such as William Blake, Rumi, John O’Donohue and David Whyte is also shared through a scattering of inspirational quotes and prose throughout.

A special mindfulness poetry section is also included.  

Lena uses her healing journey through PETAL to invite the reader to become empowered and inspired - Perspective, Emotions, Trust, Adversity and Liberty.

“A book filled with insightful, rich and engaging ways to support and transform, balancing a lighter touch with a deeper, personal wisdom.” 

Karen Atkinson, Senior Partner, Mindfulness UK
