The process of awakening is beautiful and challenging. It is also, frankly, an excruciating pain – a lot of the time.
Very few books on spirituality reveal the reality of awakening and address our deep fear of change. In this book Kerra Becker English does both while offering guidance and encouragement for the process—no matter how messy it might get.
In a smart, often funny, voice that is filled with raw honesty English identifies the numerous ways inner spiritual awakening happens: through curiosity, rituals, faith practices, deconstruction, even psychonaut adventures. Exploring classic themes –the hero(ine)’s journey, the dark night, and what it means to answer a call—she reveals the challenges we face as we respond to the terrifying breaking-open of awakening—an invitation that changes everything.
Kerra Becker English is a spiritual leader, director, and teacher. With a spirituality that is theocentric, mystical, and grounded, she preaches and speaks about spiritual life in relatable ways, borrowing lines or insights from song lyrics and ancient texts, ballroom dance lessons or the process of getting a tattoo. She also is an ordained Presbyterian minister. You can find more about her at kerraenglish.com
