In January, a literary agent told us Infinite Purpose was the most unique and deeply-needed book she'd seen in a long time - but that no publisher would take on the financial risk of birthing a book so different and so expensive to produce.
"You will have to publish it yourselves," she said, "and tell everyone you know to tell everyone they know that this is magic."
We knew she was right. There is magic happening here; the teachings of Infinite Purpose are already changing people in phenomenal ways. And we know they are meant to impact so many more. To us, it's worth the risk.
We are dear friends thrust into a heart-thumping, soul-stirring collaboration in the fall of 2014. Out of the blue, Spirit swooped in to deliver profound messages through Liv, inspired art through Lori, and instructions (yes, really!) for sharing them with the world.
We first shared Spirit's eight-step path to purpose online for over 250 brave souls. We were stunned by the profound shifts they experienced and life changes they made.
To expand the reach and impact of these sacred teachings, we envisioned this book being an absolute treasure - filled to the brim with moving personal stories, vivid art on nearly all of its 192 pages, and sacred space for in-depth reflection.
This book will forever change the way you connect to your calling, experience abundance, and create light in the world. We can't wait for you to hold this beautiful hardcover, full-color treasure in your hands this November!
So much loving care has gone into making Infinite Purpose a substantial and beautiful book: it is an 8x10 full-color, hardcover book with nearly 200 gorgeous pages!
Our $33,000 fundraising goal will help us cover our pre-production costs (we've been so grateful to work with self-publishing agency Wise Ink on everything from design to copyediting) and the hefty cost of printing. Publishing a book of this nature is only affordable if we raise enough to do a healthy first printing of 5,000 copies. (gulp. we can do it, right??)
If we raise more than our goal (gasp! that would be amazing!!), we'll be able to expand the reach of Infinite Purpose through publicity, promotion, even a book tour. We're so excited to spark an Infinite Purpose revolution with you!
FAQ with Liv & Lori
NEW!! YOU'VE ADDED NEW REWARD LEVELS IN THE LAST WEEK OF THE CAMPAIGN. WHAT ARE THEY?Yes! We've consistently had requests for several items and have found ways to make them work, so we're really excited! First, we're thrilled to be able to offer a set of 8 professionally produced audio recordings of Liv Lane reading each of Spirit's eight teachings. It's not a full audio book, but we expect it be nearly two hours of digital audio that will be emailed to supporters. You can purchase the audio alone or with a book.
We've also had so many requests for prints of the artwork in the book, so we're thrilled to be able to offer really beautiful quality wrapped canvas prints. You can choose the painting you want (there are eight full-page paintings in the book) and it will be signed and dated by Lori.
And, finally, we've had so many people tell us they want their book clubs to read and discuss Infinite Purpose that we've added a really cool option; we'll provide your group with a discussion guide and beam in to your gathering with an hour-long Skype session to answer questions and share stories!
We have to admit, we are both SO IN LOVE with these two items - and we're offering them at a steep discount during this campaign because we're so grateful for your early support! Gift packs will be sent to you as one shipment, with books included, in November.
During the ecourse last year, we created the prayer flags because so many
participants asked for some way to display the eight divinely-inspired
paintings that highlight themes of Spirit's teachings. (You can see them in the
film above!) Prayer flags are traditionally used to bless your surroundings and
promote peace, compassion, wisdom and strength. These eight prayer flags are
hand-strung on beautiful sheer ruffle-edged ribbon and carefully packaged in a
cloth gift bag.
Meanwhile, the greeting cards are BRAND NEW! They feature some of the vibrant art
and words of celebration & comfort you'll see in the book. Each pack
features five cards with a colorful, coordinated envelope.
We are so excited to see who we'll get to dive in deep with us this fall! First, we're holding the ART OF SPIRIT event for just 12 campaign supporters in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area on November 14, 2015. You'll paint like never before (beginners welcome!), you'll connect with Spirit in a profound way, you'll be moved by the live music of Lynn O'Brien, and you'll go home with vivid evidence of your emerging path to joy and fulfillment (and probably a whole room of new friends!). Goosebumps guaranteed! :) Oh! And of course you'll receive a signed book, too.
Second, we're offering a very exclusive HOLY WOW EXPERIENCE. After you've had time to delve into your book (which is part of this package), we'll come together as a threesome on the phone - you and us - at a mutually agreed-upon time in December 2015. Liv will give you an hour-long intuitive reading regarding your path to purpose and, as she does, Lori will create a personalized, original painting that incorporates and celebrates the themes of Spirit's messages for you. You'll receive a recording of this sacred session and your original painting within two weeks of the experience. Holy wow, right!?
