April 21, 2023, 7PM at Back of Beyond Books: Author Reading and Signing with Morgan Sjogren and Her Book, Path of Light

Path of Light  treks back through time as author and explorer Morgan Sjogren retraces the 1920s expeditions led by Charles L. Bernheimer into the heart of Glen Canyon and Bears Ears National Monument. Using journals and photographs from the expeditions to recreate these historic routes, Sjogren encounters powerful perspectives and stories about land management and human rights issues that carry forth into the present. Mindful of the pervasive effects of colonization and motivated by a deeply personal care for the land, Sjogren asks what it means to be an explorer while learning from the people who have loved the land for millennia and moments. Path of Light walks towards an illuminated understanding of the landscape and its history in an effort to help preserve it for the future.

Morgan Sjogren  is an author, explorer, and defender of wild places. Her writing focuses on human-powered adventure, public lands, conservation, history, travel, and food. Sjogren devotes much of her time to advocate, educate, and inspire others to help protect endangered landscapes and the environment. She is the author of The Best Bears Ears National Monument Hikes, Outlandish, and The Best Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument Hikes. A nomad by nature, Sjogren lives on the Colorado Plateau and feels most at home in the wild.

Discovering the Inner Mother: 
A Guide to Healing the Mother Wound and Claiming Your Personal Power by Bethany Webster

This book took me for a loop when it first came out in 2021 and at the time I had no idea what a ‘Mother Wound’ was until I began reading the heart wrenching truths that Bethany Webster spoke of. Throughout the chapters she shares insight into her personal experiences of living with and carrying the deep seeded trauma of The Mother Wound and beautifully explains how to move towards a life of healing this wound through a therapeutic and compassionate language of empowerment and truth. Bethany’s solid focus on intergenerational trauma and how it’s passed down from Mothers to Daughters dramatically changed the lens in which I viewed my relationship with my mother. I recommend this book to anyone who may desire guidance on how to navigate life more authentically and empowering when working towards healing toxic relationships with people we love the most.
