SACRED SENDOFFS:
AN ANIMAL CHAPLAIN's advice for suriving animal loss, making life meaningful, & trying to save the planet

We do not journey alone. The majority of human households also include an animal family member. Our actions affect them, andthey affect us. How can we strengthen our interspecies bonds? How do we prepare for the joy of a new animal companion, the confusion of messy health decisions, and the devastation of death or loss? Beyond home, how do we extend compassion to the 8.7 million other species we share this interdependent planet with? As animal lovers, what does our sacred activism look like on behalf of those “without a human voice”?  Join animal chaplain Sarah Bowen as she explores these questions through the lenses of science and spirituality.​

SPIRITUAL REBEL:
A POSITIVELY ADDICTIVE GUIDE TO FINDING DEEPER PERSPECTIVE & HIGHER PURPOSE
​

An indispensable guide for modern seekers. Mining the world's philosophical, scientific, and wisdom traditions, "Spiritual Rebel" offers 21 days of creative practices to try out including forest bathing, meditating with animals, and visiting spiritually charged locations, just to name a few. A preacher's kid originally inspired by the Force of Star Wars, Sarah confesses her challenges with her birth religion, descent into addiction, and recovery into a life where everything can be sacred.
