All the Light and Dark Things:
​
"Nathalie has a way with words that draws the reader in, wanting to know what comes next. The archetypal characters she develops are brilliantly different from one another, incorporating the full range of unexpected complexities and emotions."
~ Janine R
​
“Nathalie Jackson has masterfully woven her wisdom, spiritual insight, and profound understanding of the human journey into a work of fiction that transcends storytelling. All the Light and Dark Things is a beautifully crafted invitation into deeper truth, where every page offers lessons in healing, self-discovery, and awakening. While presented as a novel, there is a deeper knowing that this is far more than a story; it is medicine for the soul, guiding readers toward greater consciousness, compassion, and enlightenment. A remarkable achievement from a remarkable teacher.”
~Rae-ann Wood-Schatz - President and owner of Integrity Seminars and Soultuary Wellness Centre

“I have known Nathalie Jackson for over 18 years as a colleague and friend. In her debut novel she brings into form the culmination of her lived experience in spiritual awakening - be this through her personal journey, or the 26 years of teaching Spiritual programs. Her characters are authentic and relatable; their quest for healing inspiring, and certain to have you turning the pages. The biggest take-aways are the resources gathered chapter by chapter to support one's personal experience in transformation. This book will invoke the bigger questions and open you to listening on a whole new level.”

Synopsis
Throughout All The Light and Dark Things, Nathalie spins the intriguing tale of several archetypal characters, each in their own way exploring the polarities of good and evil as their lives all inevitably intertwine against a backdrop that takes us from Toronto’s sterile skyscrapers to the sensual kaleidoscope of color, taste, and sound that is India.
Compelling her readers to become instantly entranced by each player’s complex personal story, Nathalie weaves together the destinies of the humble spiritual guru, Hadi, hiding a legacy of darkness even as the object of worship by thousands, the dark, sinister Crawley obsessed by revenge, the blissed-out Kalea, teacher of sexuality and avid advocate for the joy of juicy living, Margarite, the narcissistic young mother, who feels so oppressed she’s become suicidally depressed, and Magdalena, an abandoned child weighed down by grief.
Somehow connected to them all is our indomitable truth-seeker, Pepper, a dynamic no-nonsense journalist on a quest to find answers to the age-old human dichotomy between light and dark, hoping it will heal her deeply secret pain.
Through everything from dangerous encounters to forgiving reunions, these characters all come to trust each other as they learn to trust themselves. This innovative book, created for the inner truth-seeker in us all, deftly blends spiritual teachings with fictional prose, sharing the fate of seemingly disparate personalities that will ultimately resonate with every reader.
Come and join us on their journey of self-discovery, which may well become one of your own!
