Never more than now has it been clearer:
We are a world longing for initiation.
We are being invited to step consciously from one stage and age in our lives and on the planet and into a new way of being. All of life is crying out for our attention to transform.
This sacred ache and yearning was heard and answered by 25 powerful teachers, preachers, dreamers, and authors who came together in the powerful vortex of Teotihuacan, Mexico, to take the initiate’s journey.
Over 7 days, they made their rebellion sacred and laid their hearts on the altar of this ancient city. Through ceremony and initiation, they turned their wounds and fears into personal power, love, and freedom. With their hearts ignited, they created this brave collection of 25 inspiring, personal stories of transformation.
Shaman Heart: Sacred Rebel is an invitation into your own initiation. May these intimate, real-life stories and healing wisdom awaken a sacred longing to step into your authenticity and become who you were born to be.
“As you go the way of life, you will see a great chasm. Jump. It is not as wide as you think.”
– Joseph Campbell, American Writer
Reviews of Sacred Rebel
Shaman Heart Sacred Rebel is breathtaking in its vulnerability. The stories touch on the most profound yet common of human experiences, grief, addiction, violation, the pain of rejection, and the rebellion required to overcome deep pain. The “medicine” at the end of each chapter explains how the authors transformed such experiences into growth, freedom, sovereignty, and pure joy—and how you can do the same. Every word charts a powerful course to help you travel from personal bondage to full- blown liberation. This is a life-changing book and I highly recommend it!
The trials and tribulations, challenges, and breakthroughs expressed by each of these authors are a tonic for the soul, an inspiration to help us see our own pain through a new lens that honors our own inner rebel as an inspiring trailblazer for change. These are raw and breathtakingly beautiful stories of sacred rebels working to free themselves from the constrictions of a programmed life. Filled with incredible courage, strength, and fortitude, Sacred Rebel offers the reader a guide to break through the restrictions that keep our stories hidden, denied, and imprisoned. In sharing our stories, we can untangle the knots and free ourselves to stand as sacred warriors in our lives!
This precious book is filled with vulnerable stories of painful recognition and the transformation that comes from bringing the darkness of our wounds into the light. I admire these brave souls who have told their stories and shared their hurt and pain, and I celebrate the triumph that comes from their commitment to a deeply conscious life.
Within each of us lies a hidden part, a part of ourselves locked away, in a kind of prison, yearning to break free, to bust out of our constraints and find our inner and outer freedom. I am inspired by each of these authentic, powerful, raw, and real heart-filled stories of activating and awakening personal freedom and am reminded how transformative and truly life- changing it can be to unleash our inner sacred rebel.
Mysticism and practicality are not at odds; they are at least kissing cousins. Stephanie and Jeremy and their band of scared rebels know this. And knowing is a giant step beyond believing. We choose what we believe but we personally experience what we know. And what we know is sacred. This book is a practical, mystical guide for anyone brave enough to seek their own personal knowledge, of self, and of all that is.
This book is a pilgrimage of personal freedom. Each story is like a machete of inspiration, love, and a shining sun of liberation. These are truly children of the sun.
