Publisher's summary

A daring invitation to discover and claim your identity and purpose, and to embrace the freedom to thrive right where you are

Every woman wants wholeness—to be at home in her body, in her relationships, in her life. But women too often feel that they don’t belong to themselves. The path to wholeness, to a woman belonging to herself, is formidable, and women know they can’t travel it alone.

Author, teacher, and therapist Dr. Christy Angelle Bauman has dedicated her life to guiding women on this path to meaning and profound joy.

In Her Rites, Dr. Bauman takes you into her office and through six transformative exercises: a deep dive into the most common rites of passage in every woman’s life, when she sometimes loses hold of herself but also has a unique opportunity to reclaim herself.

Birth: claiming how and why you came into the world

Initiation: coming of age

Exile: finding yourself

Creation: bringing something new into the world

Intuition: acquiring embodied wisdom that comes later in life

Legacy: living with emotional and spiritual readiness for one’s own death

These rites help women to find wholeness and self-knowledge. Included in Her Rites are ritual templates and exercises that Dr. Bauman employs with her clients, which will help any woman incorporate the principles of self-reclamation into her daily life.

Dr. Bauman has seen again and again that by learning to pause and to reflect on these key moments, we can come home to ourselves and receive the gift of flourishing.

*Includes a downloadable PDF containing a workbook of marking guides that corresponds to each rite of passage mentioned throughout the book.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

“Christy Angelle Bauman offers a wise, gentle, and compelling vision of what needs to be consecrated in a woman’s life—the deaths and the births of hope.”—Dan B. Allender, PhD, founding president of the Seattle School of Theology and Psychology

“Don’t just read Her Rites; expect to experience it, to wrestle with it, to sit and be still with all the God moments it brings. I emerged from Her Rites lighter, more confident, and better able to listen to my body. I am grateful.”—Sheila Wray Gregoire, author of The Great Sex Rescue

“This book is a stunning invitation to take your life seriously, as well as a helpful resource for doing just that.”—Scott Erickson, author of Honest Advent

Highly recommended to ALL women

I'm recommending this book to all the women in my life. It is incredibly insightful and has helped me tremendously to look back on my life and then to journey forward. I was stuck in so many places and didn't realize it. What Christy has created is a path forward for all of us, because if we are all honest, we are all stuck somewhere. I loved the audio format even more than the written format, because Christy shares it with such passion and grace. It's like she's sitting in the room with you just sharing her heart. I can't recommend this book enough!

Beautifully written!!

This book truly changed my life!! The content is so raw and truly vulnerable from a place of sharing to show others the rites of life. Not just for women though it is written from a female standpoint, I would encourage ALL to partake on this journey no matter where you are in life!!!

Wow - this book is such a gift!

So much about this book blows me away. I do not identify as a Christian, yet this book spoke to by deepest longings, and soul. I am inspired by the wisdom, story telling and applicable ideas about living a more intentional life.

A must listen for women of all ages!

Christy reads her book with such a personal thread, you can hear her voice crack in the sadness and twinkle in the goodness of what she knows. This book captures what seems chaotic in real time and gives a name to the experiences each woman has in their lives. Each time I listen to this book, I learn something more about myself.
Magic!
