Have you ever been to a restaurant with a secret menu? if you are in the know, you can ask for something that isn’t part of the visible menu, but that the restaurant is known for making.

Along the journey of the development of Hearth Science, we have continued to develop products including books and posters and workbooks and manuals as the work matured. Some of these have become slightly obsolete as our understanding of autonomic physiology has evolved over the past several years. It was for this reason that we returned the intellectual property behind the Official Polyvagal Posters to The Polyvagal Institute. I was not comfortable selling a product that we did not believe to be accurate.

In other cases there was simply a question of having too many products, which led to too many starting points or entry points into the work. People didn’t know where to start.

And then in other cases still, the logistics of delivering something for example, the difficulty of finding a suitable printing partner or the frequency with which product arrived at sub-standard quality led to a decision to terminate a product line. This is in fact what happened with our line of posters, many of which were beloved.

We periodically receive requests for posters. We periodically receive requests for versions of books we have published with previous covers. (Some people love the blue cover for Finding Home in Your Nervous System. We would be foolish to argue against such tastes…)

For serious students of our work, I have created a secret menu where are you can purchase many of these archival products.
