Le Petit Coffret — Sur Soi + Le Cahier
Le Petit Coffret — Sur Soi + Le Cahier
Le Petit Coffret is the first duo for a woman new to the Library — the longer volume to read on the sofa, the guided journal to keep on the bedside table.
Sur Soi gives you the framework — ten chapters across the body, the face, and the spirit, with the research that supports them and the small rituals that earn their place in a life. Le Cahier gives you the place to practise it — twelve months of intentions, weekly prompts, monthly closes, and free pages for the kind of thinking that does not yet have a name. One is meant to be read slowly. The other is meant to be filled in slowly. Together they are how the work starts.
Two volumes. €34.
The reading and the practice, chosen to be owned together — Sur Soi to read slowly on the sofa, Le Cahier to keep by the bed and fill in over a year.
Sur Soi — A Field Guide to Becoming. Volume I. Ten chapters on sleep, the table, movement, scent, the face, dressing, money, work, friendship, and the practice of being alone well. Citations at the back; restraint throughout.
Le Cahier — A Guided Journal for the Considered Life. Volume VI. 108 printable pages organised around the twelve months: an intention for each, a ritual with seven steps, four weekly prompts, a monthly close, and an annual Bilan in December. Hand-drawn emblems for each month.
