About

The Ghosts Movement | A Poetic Philosophy of Memory, Presence, and Time

The Ghosts Movement is a living, breathing invitation to slow down and remember. Founded by writer and philosopher Pedro Malha, this movement explores how memory, presence, ritual, and emotional awareness can reshape the way we live, connect, and carry meaning through time.

At the heart of the movement is a trilogy of poetic non-fiction books:

Ghosts of Deep Time, exploring memory in the land, ancestry, and the body

Ghosts of Living Time, reflecting on presence, relationships, and everyday rituals

Ghosts Beyond Time, offering a gentle philosophy for how we carry future love, loss, and longing

Each book blends personal reflection, poetic language, and profound philosophical insight. Together, they form a powerful antidote to the fast-paced, disconnected culture of the modern world.

But The Ghosts Movement is more than a series of books, it is a growing community of people who are learning to honour memory, sit with grief, listen to what’s been left unsaid, and reclaim presence in their bodies and lives. The movement affirms that silence is not emptiness, that noise is not a barrier to presence, and that love exists in both light and dark. Children, chaos, sorrow, scars, all are welcome.

Who It’s For
The Ghosts Movement speaks to anyone who:

Feels haunted by the past or overwhelmed by the future

Is seeking real presence, not productivity

Wants to build meaningful rituals without religion

Is grieving, healing, remembering, or simply listening

Believes that memory matters, even when it’s painful

Longs for deeper connection, with self, family, and community

What It Offers

Three published books and three companion volumes of weekly reflection

A free downloadable manifesto on how to live this philosophy

A growing online community and local gatherings through Memory Circles

Daily poetic social media questions that invite reflection on both light and dark memories

A unique framework for honouring presence in the midst of real life with all its noise, children, grief, love, and complexity

Why It Matters
In a culture obsessed with speed, distraction, and performance, The Ghosts Movement offers something quieter and deeper. It is not about fixing the past or predicting the future, but about carrying memory well. It teaches that presence is not about detachment, but about devotion. And that grief, pain, and love are not separate, they live inside each other.

The movement challenges people to slow down, to honour what they carry, and to become the keepers of memory for themselves and those they love. In doing so, it offers a path toward more embodied, emotionally rooted living.
