Reviews

“Reveal cracked me open, reawakened my spirit, and reminded me that I’m not alone on my spiritual journey. Meggan Watterson addresses so much of what we’re afraid to say. This book opened my heart and fed my soul. Reveal is a blessing to the world.”
— Gabrielle Bernstein, New York Times best-selling author of May Cause Miracles

“Meggan Watterson writes from the white-hot place where two passionate inquiries intersect. She is a seeker, in the fullest sense, and her feminism runs just as deep. Reveal is a fireball of a book . . . Meggan is so adept at limning out a story that you come away feeling as if you’d read an engaging novella even as you were absorbing her remarkable seven-point program for claiming and reclaiming just about everything that matters!”
— Carol Lee Flinders, Ph.D., author of At the Root of This Longing: Reconciling a Spiritual Hunger and a Feminist Thirst

“Watterson’s voice is so powerful that when you open this book you will feel like she is sitting next to you, staring into your eyes over a cup of tea, and talking directly to you about all that matters in life. Even skeptics can’t help but respond to such a brilliant, clear vision about waking up the voice you are meant to have. This spiritual memoir will reach straight into your soul and stay there.”
— Donna Freitas, Ph.D., author of Sex and the Soul: Juggling Sexuality, Spirituality, Romance, and Religion on America’s College Campuses

“Intimate, vulnerable, and courageous, Meggan Watterson’s Reveal: A Sacred Manual for Getting Spiritually Naked, is a gift to liberate your spirit and set you free!”
— China Galland, author of Longing for Darkness: Tara and the Black Madonna

“Meggan Watterson is a poet and a scholar and a real-life 21st century seeker. She’s your best girlfriend . . . and a trusted spiritual guide suggesting shortcuts toward wisdom and happiness. This is a lovely book.”
— Elizabeth Lesser, co-founder of the Omega Institute and author of Broken Open: How Difficult Times Can Help Us Grow

“Meggan Watterson writes of the body, ‘it is your chance to be here.’ The same could be said of this book—it is a chance, a wish, a vision of a world where women’s bodies and their spirits are united, where their pasts don’t lock them in shame, where their futures are wide open and self-created. Meggan’s fiercely original, unapologetically intense writing sucks you in from page one and doesn’t let you go until you spin out from the end, changed.”
— Courtney E. Martin, author of Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters: How the Quest for Perfection Is Harming Young Women

“Meggan Watterson brings alive the concept of spirituality as something that is not separate from us, or something we have to go out and pursue or attain. I just love the way she weaves everything, from her sexuality, her body, her emotions—in fact, her life—into a seamless tapestry that teaches us the spiritual importance of being who we are, and that our life is our prayer to the universe. This is a book after my own heart!”
— Anita Moorjani, best-selling author of Dying to Be Me

“This book is an invitation back to who you really are. Read it and be reminded. Reveal is a call to return to the essence of you, beautifully interwoven with stories that will make your soul sizzle in recognition.”
— Kate Northrup, author of Do Less: A Revolutionary Approach to Time and Energy Management for Busy Moms

“The Divine Feminine has found a beautiful voice in Meggan Watterson’s new book, Reveal: A Sacred Manual for Getting Spiritually Naked. Written with a vulnerable heart and a fierce commitment to truth, Meggan’s spiritual journey will inspire you to find and follow your own true soul-voice. I loved every single page!”
— Cheryl Richardson, author of The Art of Extreme Self-Care

“The world is hungry for the awakening consciousness of the feminine spirit. Meggan’s journey is riveting, magnificently told, and will help you to unlock your own.”
— Regena Thomashauer, New York Times best-selling author of Pussy: A Reclamation

“Reveal is a healing, a retelling, a remembering. The words fly like ignited prayer from the heart of Meggan Watterson. This book is a passionate calling to mend the desecrating separation between body and soul and make the world whole.”
— V. (formerly Eve Ensler), Tony Award-winning playwright and New York Times best-selling author of I Am an Emotional Creature

“Reveal reminds us that we are sacred, that we must worship at our own inner altar, and that everyone has access to a mystical experience of life. Finally, spirituality from the embodied feminine perspective—this book is a touchstone for the next generation of women and their spiritual lives.”
— Alisa Vitti, best-selling author of WomanCode
