New This Year · 2026
172 pages of essays, prayers, and poetry charting one woman's pilgrimage through twelve phases of becoming — rooted in the Carmel coast, Irish soil, plant medicine, and the Christian mystical tradition reimagined for our time.
A Book of Pilgrimage
The New Mystic is structured as a journey through twelve phases — Unlearning, Grief, Accepting, Strengthening, Connecting, Recognizing, Forgiving, Beauty, Creation, Resting, Love, and Remembering. Within each phase are essays, prayers, and original poems written on the path itself.
It is a book for anyone who has felt themselves to be a mystic and had nowhere to bring the experience. A book for those leaving religion who do not want to leave the sacred. A book for those whose contemplative life is real and unspoken.
Order the BookI have spent years learning what you, the reader, might already know: that Mysticism has existed long before religions, mythologies, and certainly today's spiritual practices — but isn't there a thread of it throughout all? In all of us? That perhaps throughout the years we have set aside the easiest way to experience Divine light and love, and that is to recognize it as an inherent light and vibration within each and every one of us, delivered in perfection at the birth of our soul as a human, here on Earth.
"This book is an offering of my words. My thoughts on my personal journey in recognizing myself as a mystical person, and how I have managed — at moments — to fuse my heart, mind and soul over the last years in learning and experiencing divine teachings from guides, nature and sacred experiences and ceremonies."
