A spiritual "every-human" story filled with hope, the magic of love, and the healing powers of the divine feminine
Yoga teacher Ren Devlin's life is forever changed after he performs what the world proclaims to be a "miracle" in front of hundreds of shocked onlookers. Lauded as a spiritual healer, Ren is thrust into the limelight, along with his beloved life partner, Sean.
Amidst the chaos, Ren seeks answers through deep meditation, during which he encounters his "council"-the gods and goddesses of the zodiac. Led by Saturn and Venus, Ren's astrological council steers him down a path of spiritual healing to work through the
kleshas
-the five mental afflictions responsible for suffering. To find peace, Ren must face his childhood religion of Catholicism and its negative and repressive views toward the LGBTQ+ community and women, battle his own ego, and come to terms with his fear of death and being alone without Sean.
Awakening the Mystic
is an imaginative combination of philosophies and ideologies across numerous religions and cultures, as well as an exploration of higher consciousness, the practice of yoga and meditation, and a journey to discover what love and healing really mean.
