SPIRITUAL REBELA POSITIVELY ADDICTIVE GUIDE TO FINDING DEEPER PERSPECTIVE & HIGHER PURPOSE
"A little snarky, a little sweet, Sarah Bowen proposes a G*d-optional approach to spirituality that is alive, flexible, and positively addictive. "
Bringing together insights from a wide range of traditions—from Taoism to Jediism to Yoga to Science—Spiritual Rebel is a personal approach to finding a deeper perspective and higher life purpose. Offering three weeks of unconventional practices--including forest bathing, yawning, hiking, cat-gazing, mindfulness, and sacred crashing to name just a few--this book helps not only seekers, but also agnostics, atheists, and the spiritual-but-not-religious, curate meaningful spiritual moments throughout the day, dipping in without having to commit, never having to fear they might be “doing it wrong.”
“In this modern-day approach, Sarah's wisdom, wit, and knowledge take us on an illuminating journey of discovery. A must-read for anyone seeking to find or deepen their spiritual path.”
Francesco Mastalia, author of Yoga: The Secret of Life “Part interfaith instigator, part spiritual sister, Sarah Bowen will kindly and impishly guide you to the next step of your journey to your own true heart.” Barbara Becker, blogger allbeingseverywhere.com “Spiritual Rebel is a fresh and timely take on religion and spirituality, particularly appealing to those who have outgrown more traditional approaches to ‘finding God.’ Sarah Bowen is a remarkably engaging writer, using pop culture references in an inviting, highly personal approach that from the first page invites you join her in the exploration of the diverse teachings that many of the world’s religions and spiritual teachers provide. She weaves together the parallels and archetypal characteristics of these teachings that are both provocative and sensible, appealing to the deepest sense of one’s involvement and participation in the Great Mystery. I highly recommend this for anyone who is exploring new avenues for their spiritual discoveries.” Dr. Steven Farmer, author of several best-selling books and oracle cards including Animal Spirit Guides and Healing Ancestral Karma Read more reviews > |

This is the story of a religion-phobic Gen Xer who felt a void because she had become detached from her faith. In fact, she wasn't sure what her faith was or if she actually had any faith at all. Raised as a preacher's kid, she had an astonishingly long list of why religion didn't work for her—until five years after her father's death, she began reading his sermons.
Follow her journey through history and theology as she sometimes seriously—and often irreverently—learns to fill the void with something greater than herself. |
NEW BOOK RELEASE JUNE 11, 2019!
In her new project, Sarah explores a modern spirituality that is alive, vivid, and joyful. It asks the curious questions: What if the Force seems more real to you than Jesus? What if your higher power appears in fluorescent orange with a loud thumping beat? Can Siri help us find something God-ish? Not just for seasoned spiritual seekers, the book is ripe with wisdom for the agnostic, "spiritual but not religious," and the spiritually confused.

ZARATHUSTRA FEELS THE FORCERELIGION // READ FULL BLOGThe more I try to set aside my pre-pubescent Jedi theology, the more it seems to follow me. This happened again recently when I picked up the book In Search of Zarathustra: Across Iran and Central Asia to find the world’s first prophet by Paul Kriwaczek, an Austrian dentist turned BBC journalist. Surprisingly going back into history would propel me out into space not once, but twice...
something about maryreligion // READ FULL BLOG"That's the most sacrilegious thing I've ever heard you say, Sarah. Seriously rethink that." said my husband. For context, I had just called him from the parking lot of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC. However, I had referred to it as The Church of Mary Who Got Knocked Up by God. Growing up Protestant, I never understood "the Mary thing." As someone who likes to chat with God directly—do not pass Go, do not collect 200 bucks on the way—I've consistently had a hard time understanding why there would need to be someone in the middle of that connection. Why a middleman? Or middlewoman in this case? Little did I know I was about to get smacked in the noggin again for my contempt prior to investigation...
