Restoring Spirit To The Body & The Earth

In this illuminating conversation, eco-fiction author Monica McDowell subverts archaic notions of the profound and the profane. Her award-winning novel, Girl With a Gift, is a riveting ecofeminist saga that weaves connections between women and spirituality in a moment of cultural and climate crisis. Whereas traditional patriarchal theology tends to honor the spirit and debase the body as “dirty,” Monica’s work restores the sacred, divine feminine power to the corporeal and the earth in a modern way.

Gain insight into the ecological drive behind her liberation theology: how the honoring of women is the honoring of the earth. Learn about a curious creative process that involves lucid dreaming, meditation, breathwork, and “turtle steps.”
