Shannon Evans is a woman with a Catholic spirituality and an interfaith heart. Her passion is opening up deeper waters of contemplating God so that our experience of the Divine grows further loving and curious rather than static and complacent. She is the author of two books, Embracing Weakness and Rewilding Motherhood, and one guided journal, Luminous. She has also written two children’s books for Be A Heart, Mary and Mary on the Mantel. Shannon has contributed to many publications, spiritual and secular, both in print and online. She writes and leads retreats for the Jesuit Conference and also serves as social media editor for National Catholic Reporter. The Evans family of seven makes their home on the prairie of central Iowa, where they are actively involved in their parish, community, and local Catholic Worker.
