The Iterative MysticSharon Hines teaching a class

Hop over to my Substack blog The Iterative Mystic (formerly Spiritual Life Storyteller) if you want to:

  • Get information about the spiritual practice of Listening for Guidance.
  • Get support and guidance for rebuilding faith after deconstruction in a series called Phoenix Your Faith.
  • Glean important life lessons via carefully chosen stories of my ancestors and mentors in the Bread Crumbs series. Or use these stories as jumping off points to trigger your own memories.
  • Find encouragement to look for where your Higher Power is showing up in your life. Or maybe get more comfortable with the idea of sharing your own spiritual experiences. (I share mine in a series called Well Guided).
  • Follow my journey of digging for “buried treasure” in The Iola Project. Read along as I learn about my husband’s grandmother, Miss Iola, by deciphering her Progressive Era journals and combing through the contents of the house where she and other family members lived since the 1910s.

All this and more is waiting for you at The Iterative Mystic.

Spiritual Life Writers

The Spiritual Life Writers blog is a collaboration with my co-authors, Susan Scott and Lana Cullis.

If you’ve purchased our book—The Spiritual Life Writing Workbook: From Concept to Bookshelf—this is where you want to be. We have two regular series, alternating weekly.

  • Every other Tuesday, we publish Penlights, featuring tips on spiritual life writing and correlated writing prompts.
  • In the intervening weeks, we go live on Substack for 15 or 20 minutes, usually on Wednesday afternoons. These light-hearted chats are another source of writing tips and personal stories—with a heavy dose of humor.
