Our ebooks are written by our leadership & community members. We share our personal stories and perspectives on what it's like to be a gifted adult. We explore themes of joy and sorrow, complexity and the quest for connection, accomplishments and failures, wholeness and brokenness, what it's like to have a big mind, and what we hope for the future. As so little is written for the gifted adult, we hope that our words, vulnerability, wholeness, humor, joy and complexity will speak to you wherever you are on your own gifted journey. 

 

These Gifts Are Sacred 

Exploring our Giftedness Through Contemplative Poetry & Art  

Sacredness is about wholeness. It is about value, worth, right, nurturance, gratitude, wonder, awe and reverence. For many gifted adults, we have lost touch with the sacredness of our gifts as they have been filtered through harmful cultural narratives and gifted traumas we have lived through. Remembering (re-membering) ourselves and our gifts in their sacredness requires a generous process of refocusing our attention and reclaiming our innate right to wholeness. In These Gifts Are Sacred, poets paired with artists in our community to create an anthology of illustrated poems exploring the sacredness of our gifted experience. This moving and deeply nourishing compilation invites you into the sacred space we've created, to re-member the wholeness of your gifted self together with us.

Compiled and edited by Jennifer Harvey Sallin, in 2022. It includes 36 contributors and 32 illustrated poems. 83 pages in PDF format.

The Sacred Gifts compilation is a deeply important thread in the tapestry of the field of giftedness.

Emergence

Contemplations & Creative Expressions of the Gifted Feminine 

Emergence is our Gifted Mindfulness Collective's first contemplative writing and art compilation. The culmination of a year-long labor of love, more than 35 entries are included here where gifted and twice-exceptional women give voice to the gifted feminine, re-story their lived experiences in patriarchal and normative structures, and begin reclaiming the parts of themselves that have been denied and exiled for too long. Essays, reflections, poetry, artwork and resources centered on the gifted feminine give rise to the rich, complex tapestry of themes on discovery and recovery, sensual and spiritual intelligence, gender, body wisdom, nature connections, relationships, leadership, and rewilding. Readers are invited into a portal of opportunities for their own contemplations and reclamations at a time when the feminine is deeply called on for our global and spiritual transformation.

Compiled and edited by Kelly Pryde and Kim Bielmann, in 2021. Includes 35+ entries from 24 contributors. 212 pages in PDF format.

Emergence fills a crucial gap in literature about giftedness, and that is the embodied, intuitive, non-linear experiences of gifted women... Reading it is like having a sisterhood of complex, like-minded friends who are redefining what it means to be gifted by sharing vulnerably about their journeys.

Gifts for an Emerging World

Creative Writing & Art Compilation

Gifts for an Emerging World explores the question of what it means to be gifted at a time of great global crisis and transformation. Through creative writing and art, members of our community express our deep connection to the Earth, the ways we grieve and grapple with how humanity is severing that connection, how we dream and sense an emerging healed world, and how with our many gifts we may help birth that emerging future. We explore these challenging questions and emotions through the lens of our gifts, the superpowers we bring to bear in this moment, the creative challenges we face and the deep and meaningful connections we form. Sometimes our gifts remain unseen and hidden, but as we face this transformation together, we have the chance to shine our gifted lights through the emerging cracks and make a positive impact. Join us in coming together and raising our voices to share that light.

Compiled and edited by Jan Provoost, Karin Eglinton & Jennifer Harvey Sallin, in 2020. It includes 26 contributors and 37 entries. 189 pages in PDF format.

"Gifts for an Emerging World" is such a beautiful exploration of the many levels on which gifted people experience themselves as part of nature, the earth, the universe.
While reading I felt comforted knowing that there are more people like me, experiencing a deep connection with trees and animals. Likeminded souls that are awake to the daunting reality that our well-being depends entirely on how “well” we treat our divine mother.

Making the Invisible Visible

Intersections of Chronic Illness, Disability & Giftedness

What happens when invisible disability, such as chronic illness or twice- or multi-exceptionalities, is added to a gifted person's life? Many gifted people live this experience every day, but there is little available literature exploring and validating what it's like to simultaneously live with the high ability of giftedness and challenges of navigating disabilities which are not immediately visible to the outside world. Making the Invisible Visible was our community's way of opening up a dialog about and raising public awareness about this issue; as well as providing mirroring, validation and comfort to our many gifted, invisibly disabled peers. It takes the reader on a journey through the stories and worlds of some of InterGifted's invisibly disabled community members through their words and their artworks. They share with us a moving, honest and hopeful view of what it's like and how they navigate the complex challenges of life at this intersection.

Compiled and edited by Karin Eglinton & Jennifer Harvey Sallin, in 2019. Includes 16 contributors and 20 entries. 81 pages in PDF format.

Reading "Making the Invisible Visible" to me felt like I got a hug from a kindred spirit that felt so healing. A hug that gave me a sense of home-coming. All the pieces of my soul that had been scattered for such a long time, finally felt invited to come home again!
I was deeply moved by every single story shared in this book. And had many moments of recognition and mirroring. I have a feeling that, in putting words and images to their personal experiences, the contributors will have set off ripples of resonance. 

Being Me

Reflections on the Gifted Person's Path to Authenticity

Authentic self-expression can feel like an enigma to a gifted or twice-exceptional person. How and with whom to express what it's like to be one's gifted self most naturally? And what's it like to be a gifted or twice exceptional working toward authentic self-expression? What does the path feel and look like? We explored these questions in the InterGifted community, via a community writing and creative expression project aimed at giving our gifted and twice-exceptional members the opportunity to write, paint, draw or otherwise express what it's like to walk their own path toward authentic gifted expression. The result is a deeply moving, inspiring, diverse, entertaining, and thought-provoking visual journey through the lives of your gifted peers around the world.

Compiled and edited by Jennifer Harvey Sallin and Trent Rhodes, in 2018. Includes 30 contributors and and 32 entries. 127 pages in PDF format.

Embracing the Gifted Quest

You'll be moved and inspired, and will find meaningful insight into your own giftedness and/or the giftedness of your loved ones.
