What if your body could be a good and true part of your spiritual life?
Every day, women are inundated with internal and external messages that pit us against our own bodies, resulting in dissatisfaction, shame, and an inability to experience our bodies as connected to our souls. We long to break these chains and reclaim the sacredness of our flesh and bones, but lack the tools to do so—keeping us stuck in harmful cycles of self-loathing.
In a 30-Day Journal for Accepting Your Body, Honoring Your Soul, and Finding Your Joy , author Shannon K. Evans offers women the chance to reflect on the connection between our bodies and our souls, to question the lies we have swallowed about things like aging and weight gain, and to dare to imagine a vibrant spiritual life that radiates from the inside out.
Shannon K. Evans is passionate about exploring deeper ways of contemplating God so that our experience of the Divine grows further loving and curious, rather than static and complacent. She is the spirituality and culture editor at the National Catholic Reporter and the author of the books “Feminist Prayers for My Daughter: Powerful Petitions for Every Stage of Her Life” and “Rewilding Motherhood: Your Path to an Empowered Feminine Spirituality.”
With interest in ecofeminism, contemplative practice, and social change, Shannon leads workshops and retreats across the country that spark curiosity and compassion.
Having previously lived in Indonesia for two years, Shannon loves to travel, but is happiest at home on the Iowa prairie with her family and beloved chickens.
