Holy Heathen - North, Katherine

. .

Résumé :
From divinely miserable to damned happy: A tale of reckoning, personal redemption, and love-over-dogma epiphany.As a child, Katherine North had a terrible secret: she couldn't feel Jesus in her heart. For the daughter of Christian missionaries, this was a problem indeed. She embarked on a most unexpected spiritual journey, one that transformed her from a terrified kid into a joyful heathen mystic. Holy Heathen is the origin story of trailblazing life coach Katherine North. From growing up as a Third Culture Kid in an evangelical mission in Japan to discovering feminism at Bryn Mawr College, she grapples to find the true meaning of belonging when she doesn't fit in anywhere. Katherine reckons with a lifetime of nightmares and odd spiritual encounters that lead her away from religion but toward a vocation helping others find healing. Her path spans continents, featuring an unlikely acting career in Japan on the stage, a stint in Chicago amongst a gang of mid-nineties Beat-era revivalists, marriage and divorce, church and sex, abortion and motherhood, healing and earthquakes, spiritual awakening-and finally, the call within her that she'd forever yearned for.

Biographie:
Katherine North just might be the only life coach in the world who doesn't believe in the law of attraction. Her clients are ambitious, successful, and too smart for most of the self-help aisle-- but they secretly yearn for terribly mortifying things like more magic, more peace, and more grit. More than 3,000 women have used her Queen Sweep program to clear their lives of clutter, she teaches sensitive empaths to set energetic boundaries in Practical Magic for Secret Mystics, and made an award-winning documentary with her husband Nick North about their big queer family, Just Another Beautiful Family. She's a queer feminist, mother of five, and she grew up as a missionary kid but is now a foul-mouthed heathen mystic.
