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.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRather than relying on adherence to a specific belief system, \u003ci\u003eSpiritual Rebel\u003c\/i\u003e encourages readers to clarify the beliefs that are personally meaningful, redefine outdated concepts, mix-and-match practices, experience connection, and ask curious questions.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 G*d-ish?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eApproaching spirituality from an edgy, vivid, and interfaith\/interspiritual perspective, Sarah Bowen explores the world's philosophical, scientific, and religious traditions, mining them for juicy tidbits and practices.
