What’s a mom to do? Her kids see auras and angels. Divine visitations interrupt routine household chores, and random dogs mysteriously come and lie down at her feet. Is Monica McDowell a domestic goddess gone mad or simply a mystic for whom spontaneous healings go right along with scrubbing soap scum off of shower stalls?In Confessions of a Mystic Soccer Mom: A Life Played with Feet in Both Worlds, Monica muses on events from her stranger-than-fiction life with an engaging voice and a quirky eye. After experiencing a mystical rebirthing during her years as a whistle-blower, the adventures that continue to frequent her spiritual journey have cultivated in her a wisdom that is salty, down-to-earth, yet deeply challenging to conventional understandings of ＂the way things work.＂ Set half at the hearth and half in heaven, Confessions is a riveting read that will inspire women to reclaim their sacred feminine power by daring to weave the extraordinary into the everyday of their own lives.

Monica McDowell was the first ordained minister in the United States to be granted civil rights by a federal court.

You are Light, her second book, is a healing meditation workbook available in over 14 countries around the world. A dynamic and inspirational speaker, Rev. McDowell regularly holds workshops, classes, and retreats for budding mystics and emergent healers in the Pacific Northwest.
