Erin Clark – författare

"I just need to get out of town for a bit and let nature work its magic"

Most urban dwellers have said or felt something like over the years. Our loud, intense concrete jungles are magnetic as well as hectic, fascinating as well as frustrating. But at what point does a healthy rhythm of mixing the urban & the rural become an addiction to escape?

In Sacred Pavement, you are invited on an urban adventure of ecountering and enchanting the urban landscape you call home. On this adventure there are no passengers, only crew: this is a do-it-yourself guide, best accompanied by good shoes, a journal and an umbrella.

Pushing back against the narrative which yearns for nature as the sole source of spiritual nourishment and inspiration, Erin Clark provides practical, thoughtful meditations on contemporary urban life and its deep wells that can sustain the thirsty city-dwelling soul. Drawing from her experience as a priest, writer, and lover of curiosities of all kinds, she urges readers gently into practicing their spirituality exactly where they are, rather than falling into a cycle of depletion and retreat.

What are you waiting for? The same magic at work in nature is to be found in the city, for those with the patience and boldness to seek it out.

If You Really Love Me, Throw Me Off the Mountain is a memoir of love and adventure. It tells of one very whole woman''s experience of being disabled in a world that cannot imagine her being anything other than broken. In 2014, aerial dancer Erin Clark moves from Canada to command the stages of New York City. When her wheelchair breaks, sepsis nearly kills her, and her marriage ends, she is flung out of her life and into a dramatic series of events which culminates with her moving to Spain to join a paragliding school and master one of the world''s most dangerous sports. When she falls in love in the Andalusian mountains, she learns that a flying wheelchair might not be the biggest risk of all.
