the spiritual journey.

The way stories are told can make all the difference.

going inward through books

Jenna’s profound spiritual journey through the world of reading began when she first picked up a well-worn copy of Jon Kabat-Zinn’s enlightening book, Wherever You Go, There You Are. At that time, she was 18 years old.

She was a bright-eyed freshman in college, completely unaware that this particular book would become one of the best self-help books she would ever read. Why was it so impactful? Because it profoundly inspired her to reach out and connect with the conscious observer within herself, the very place where her ancient, timeless Soul truly resides. What books have inspired you the most?
