Summary: Monica McDowell was the first ordained minister in the United States to be granted civil rights by a federal court. Her first book, My Karma Ran Over My Dogma: Lessons Learned by a Whistle-Blowing Minister Turned Mystic (2007), is a narrative of her journey through these precedent-setting legal events into life-changing mysticism and a luminous spirituality. A dynamic and inspirational speaker, Rev. McDowell regularly holds workshops, classes, and retreats for budding mystics and emergent healers in the Pacific Northwest. Her second book, You are Light, is written from the Divine Heart as a new “scripture” and healing meditation workbook.
