Sarah Bowen
Sarah Bowen is an award-winning author, multifaith spiritual educator, inspired speaker… and aspiring Jedi. Her first book, Void If Detached: Seeking Modern Spirituality Through My Father’s Old Sermons, received numerous literary awards. A graduate of New York City’s One Spirit Interfaith Seminary, (Rev) Sarah is passionate about the study of the world’s great faith traditions as well as travel to quirky, spiritually-charged locations. As a member of Spiritual Directors International, Sarah seeks to help others connect with the higher power of their own understanding, in whatever way is meaningful. A retreat-junkie, Sarah has retreated, workshopped, and studied with a wide range of teachers, including Diane Berke, David Wallace, Deepak Chopra, Mirabai Starr, Krishna Das, Sister Shivani, Phyliss Curott, James French, and Andrew Vidich. Especially interested in the intersection of animal welfare and spiritual values, Sarah has studied these topics at Emerson Theological Institute, The University of Edinburgh, Chicago Theological Seminary, the Chopra Center, and the Omega Institute. She hopes to one day to help put a massive dent in the factory farming industry. Before starting her spiritual journey, Sarah spent a few decades as a designer and brand strategist in New York City.
