About Sera Beak

img_0024.JPG

I’m Sera Beak, a Harvard-trained scholar of comparative religion and mysticism who’s spent the last dozen years traveling the world exploring spirituality — from whirling with Sufi dervishes to meeting the Dalai Lama on my 21st birthday; from taking the host from a Croatian Catholic mystic who had the stigmata (truly) to having life-altering visions with a shaman, and just about everything in between (I now happily deem myself a “spiritual cowgirl”).

The Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach To Igniting Your Divine Spark is the first book in a planned “red” trilogy. I’ve also written for the Let’s Go Travel Guide series, Bootyparlor.com and Beliefnet.com. I’m as comfortable talking about Muslim women in Iraq, the pagan history of religious traditions and the extreme need for religious tolerance in this day and age as I am about designer jeans, vibrators and the latest celebrity breakup. I was called “a woman who is hands down the freshest, boldest breath of fresh air spirituality has heard, read or seen in decades” by Maureen Moss, author, motivational speaker, and radio host of worldpuja.org. That was really nice of her.

I’m happiest being a mover. But not of furniture. I live in San Francisco, drive a purple car, cohabitate with an effusive African Grey parrot named Anaya and have an unnatural affection for human bloopers. I would love to hear from you. And You.
