Entry fee: $25 US.
THE IDEA
Spiritual fiction comes disguised in many genres: speculative (A Wrinkle in Time), historical (Siddhartha), allegory (The Alchemist). But we always recognize it by the way it makes us feel. Spiritual fiction does more than entertain. It does more than instruct. It transcends. It offers energetic healing, spiritual clarity, and a deep level of awakening to those who it is meant for.
Think:
- The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho
- A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’Engle
- The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield
- Jonathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach
- Illusions: The Adventures of a Reluctant Messiah by Richard Bach
- Diana, Herself, by Martha Beck
- Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
- One by Richard Bach
