More about the book:
What do a revolutionary 12th century German Benedictine nun, the 20th century founder of Individual Psychology, and a modern-day Episcopal priest and psychotherapist have in common? The Rev. Danae Ashley explores these connections across time in this genre-bending book that is a love letter to St. Hildegard of Bingen and Alfred Adler. In her book, “My Sap is Rising: A Pilgrimage of Holistic Mental Health Healing with Hildegard of Bingen and Alfred Adler,” journey through the Rhine Valley on the Hildegard of Bingen Pilgrimage Way and into your own transformation of body, mind, and spirit. Part spiritual memoir, part self-help guide, and part historical exploration, this book is a feast that appeals to anyone who wants to know what it is like to be “a feather on the breath of God” and feel your sap rising in response.
