An American Awakening

An American Awakening: A True Story of Spiritual Emergency and Cultural Reckoning

What happens when a spiritual awakening doesn't look like peace and enlightenment-but chaos, confusion, and crisis?

An American Awakening offers a rare, courageous look into the misunderstood phenomenon of Spiritual Emergency-a term first coined by Stanislav and Christina Grof in the 1970s to describe a transformational crisis with profound psychological and spiritual implications. Though recognized in some therapeutic and indigenous circles, this experience remains widely overlooked-and often mishandled-in modern American culture.

Told through the lens of one woman's riveting, real-life journey, this memoir explores the collision between ancient wisdom and contemporary skepticism. This book is more than a personal story-it's a cultural mirror, reflecting the lives of countless others navigating the same uncharted terrain. Honest, bold, and ultimately redemptive, An American Awakening is a call to reexamine how we view mental health, consciousness, and the transformative power of lived experience.
