My Mystical Path: Not Your Typical Book Club (In-Person Program)

Join us for a soulful and transformative book study that invites participants to reflect on their own spiritual stories while journeying alongside author Donna Shin-Ward through her memoir, My Mystical Path: A Memoir of Finding Grace and Dignity in Life’s Hardest Lessons.

As we read Donna’s personal story, we will explore the universal problems, challenges, fears and tensions that anyone who is called to the spiritual path must resolve in order to return home as a changed, equipped, and victorious soul.

Reflecting on the reading together, you may find yourself identifying as someone who:

· Is seeking their own awakening moment
· Has limiting beliefs about their past or future
· Is healing from previous grief or trauma
· Desires to focus on personal development and spiritual growth
· Needs inspiration around resiliency, vulnerability, and growth
· Is curious about holistic health and the mind, body, spirit, connection
· Wants to explore what it means to be a modern-day mystic
· Yearns to explore the experience of grace in daily life

This book club offers more than discussion about Donna’s memoir; it offers an invitation to reflect on your own hero’s journey of overcoming and opening to the many facets of Divine Love.

Add “My Mystical Path” to your summer reading list and join us in the Fall for this atypical book club! The book is available on Amazon.
