He shows how transpersonal consciousness and moral conscience are pivotal for restoring balance between people and planet in this time of multiple crises. The Restorative Spirit is a deep immersion into the world of soul progression, dream work, karma, prayer, synchronicity, spirit guides and miracles. Full of life changing stories about people’s profound psycho-spiritual transformations, this engaging book reveals how we can make the best use of our time in this incarnation. It is a call to participate in the co-creation of a soulful and sustainable future for all life on planet Earth. 
REVIEWS\nThe Restorative Spirit is a profound eco-psycho-spiritual reflection and compelling call to action as we navigate our species-created evolutionary crisis that challenges us to recognise its fundamentally spiritual nature. This entails multi-faceted and systemic responses inviting us to reconnect with the imaginal depths, our conscience, the Divine, the Earth and each other in community. Mick is a wise and deeply human guide to the necessary individual and collective transmutations that are light years beyond superficial technical fixes based on current trajectories and he shows us how we can all play our part. Full of inspirational stories and key insights and drawing on the work of Allan Kardec, Carl Jung, Peter Kingsley, Arny Mindell, Peter Deunov and Padre Pio, this is sure to be recognised as one of the most important and inspirational books of the year. David Lorimer, Editor of Paradigm Explorer. Programme Director, Scientific and Medical Network. Author of A Quest for Wisdom: Inspiring Purpose on the Path of Life\nMick Collins’ third book explores the restoration of the spirit required for humanity to step across a bridge from destruction to co-creation, a bridge to the possibility of a better world, ecologically, socially and spiritually. Woven into the erudite fabric of his book are uplifting and apposite stories and exercises that offer the reader pathways to personal transformation that will ultimately also transform the lives of others. This is what we need to navigate life in a world that is challenged by climate chaos, social disintegration and habitat loss. By building inner resilience and restoring ourselves, we will become more adept at ‘lucid living’ and ultimately begin the long, joyful journey of restoring the Earth, reuniting the inner with the outer world at last.

The Rise and Rise of Charlton Athletic tells the tale of a decade many believed Charlton were never going to see. Having grabbed a late equaliser and scraped a draw with the official receiver, the "Addicks" spent most of the late 1980s reeling from a string of financial body blows. Their recovery provides an almost unique story in modern football, describing how the club clawed its way back from the edge of the precipice to a position of safety and prosperity. As dozens of other clubs face the prospect of bankruptcy, Charlton acts as a blueprint for clubs struggling to survive on and off the pitch. Mick Collins talked to those who participated, those who just came along and watched, and a few who managed both, in order to tell an extraordinary story, which is in equal parts funny and inspirational. From the boot room to the boardroom, he looks back on the last ten years and examines just what about this unprepossessing club has allowed them to succeed where so many others have failed.

In November 2003, a young man from Surrey half-volleyed an oval ball over a Sydney crossbar and sparked something truly extraordinary. English rugby became, temporarily at least, the nation's favourite sport. The road ahead, however, would prove to be riddled with potential potholes. Against this background of triumph and celebration, Mick Collins spoke to players who had helped win the Webb Ellis Trophy on that dramatic day in Sydney and at length to the coach who planned its capture. Chasing the Chariot tells the story of an unprecedented period in English rugby, offering a picture of all levels of the game at a time of huge and dramatic change. The influence and effects of Woodward's planning and preparation have been far reaching, and from inner-city housing estates to public-school playing fields, enthusiastic youngsters to the world's most capped player, Collins discovered that this iconic figure's legacy to the game looks set to run on, long after his departure to take on new challenges.

Written by experts in the growing field of forensic mental health care, this book explores current and emerging interventions in forensic nursing and the care of the mentally disordered offender, with an emphasis on clinical practice and clinical competence. It explores the practical issues facing forensic nurses, such as environment and safety issues, as well as the possible emotional trauma of such a role. It examines a range of intervention strategies, such as exercise, which has often been used as an occupational time-filler, but also offers real therapeutic benefits. The contributors cover a range of diverse perspectives from the care of women in secure services, severely assaultive patients and sex offenders, the role of inpatient therapy and nurse therapists and the importance of spiritual nursing and educational interventions. The book also examines the client group itself and considers new roles for nurses in the light of recent research.

The Unselfish Spirit is an essential twenty-first-century guide to unlocking the secrets of how we as a race can collectively grow our consciousness to solve the complex web of challenges that threaten life on Earth. As a species, we are at a tipping point in our evolutionary journey, exacerbated by worsening ecological conditions. We have been treating the Earth as an object to be exploited and have consequently cut ourselves off from evolving cooperatively with nature. We have to find new ways of doing, knowing, and being, so we can live in harmony with all life. In this fascinating blend of meticulously researched theory with direct experience, Mick Collins identifies how our global crisis is also a spiritual one. He suggests that the cultivation of our psycho-spiritual awareness can reveal new vistas, helping us engage in our transformative potential, both individually and collectively. The Unselfish Spirit draws inspiration from such diverse fields as cosmology, new biology, and quantum physics, along with insights from depth psychology, occupational science, and mysticism. Theories are discussed in relation to transforming consciousness and are enlivened by fascinating, real-life stories of people who have engaged in deep processes of change and transformation. At the end of each chapter there is an exercise that provides opportunities for experiential reflection, aiding you on your personal journey. With a preface by Tim O’Riordan, OBE, FBA, and emeritus professor of the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia, this is not just a learned exploration about psycho-spiritual transformation, it is a pathway to evolving entirely new ways of living creatively and harmoniously as a species.

Drawing inspiration from diverse fields such as the sacred feminine, indigenous wisdom, daimons and near-death experiences, this book is enlivened by fascinating, real-life stories of people who have engaged in deep processes of psycho-spiritual change. The Visionary Spirit is a radical manifesto for soulful and creative living. At the end of each chapter there is an exercise, providing opportunities for experiential reflection, aiding the reader on their personal journey. This offers new ways of living creatively, spiritually, harmoniously and responsibly on planet Earth, offering a vision of a new era of emancipatory living, which Collins calls the Transformocene Age. The scale of planetary destruction now recorded in the geological layer of the Earth – known as the Anthropocene – is a clarion call for deep change. To help facilitate such a transformative process, The Visionary Spirit draws on the wisdom of the imaginal realm, where dreams, myth, and synchronicity help us realign soulfully to the natural world and to our innate wholeness.
