Mirabai Starr Book Launch

Thursday, September 19th, 2024

6:00 PM - 8:00 PM

Price: Free

Mary’s Place at Taos Lifestyle


Join Mirabai Starr in celebrating her hometown book launch! Mirabai will read from and speak about her provocative new book, ORDINARY MYSTICISM: Your Life as Sacred Ground, followed by a book signing. In conversation with Nancy Laupheimer and with music by Jenny Bird. Refreshments available from Lucky’s Tacos and Taos Mesa Brewing.

In ORDINARY MYSTICISM: Your Life as Sacred Ground (HarperOne; 9/17/24) Mirabai Starr, beloved spiritual guide, helps readers discover their own inner mystic by encouraging them to let go of the limiting belief that spiritual life exists only in traditional places of worship. Mysticism, she explains, is a direct experience of the sacred—no church or clergy required. Life, Starr reminds us, is holy ground in itself. You are not required to visit an ashram in the Himalayas or kneel in a church pew to connect to the spirit or examine life’s big questions. Instead, Starr encourages us to find sanctity in our normal environment—from weeding in our humble gardens to going on a slow evening walk with a friend. When we decide to walk the path of the mystic, the mundane shows up as miraculous, the boring becomes fascinating, and our own shortcomings turn out to be your greatest gifts.
