An Altar in the World: A Geography of Faith

Barbara Brown Taylor

“From simple practices such as walking, working, and getting lost to deep meditations on topics like prayer and pronouncing blessings, Taylor reveals concrete ways to discover the sacred in the small things we do and see.”

One of my most beloved aspects of walking away from the fundamentalist faith of my childhood is learning how to make everything holy, and what better way to begin a new year than with a cozy book about just that. This dharmic wisdom from Barbara Brown Taylor certainly offers expansion, should we be open to growth.

Welcome to the Collective!

this online dwelling began with a desire to pay homage to the wise souls inspiring me - researchers, spiritual teachers, poets, activists, rebels, historians, authors, etc., with the hope that anyone visiting would feel empowered to surrender a little deeper into their own wholehearted self-love. Because recovery is always the goal anywhere I am, and because I revere the power of literature for its ability to soothe, rally, build community, and teach, I knew in those first days of exhalation that a book club would be essential to continue the mission. I'm excited you're here!

The plan is to read a book each month, a selection that has contributed to my own recovery whether that be through momentary reprieve, awakened imagination, or expanded awareness. If you are reading with us, please also join in over on our social media!

Let's get reading, shall we?
