Welcome to The Rewilded Life.

I’m Shannon Evans.

I muse. I sass. I pray in the woods.

My most recent book is The Mystics Would Like a Word, which I like to think carries the torch of the contemplative Catholic tradition, just with more sarcasm and the occasional cuss word. I also authored Feminist Prayers for My Daughter and Rewilding Motherhood, and if you can appreciate how long it took to overcome my internalized misogyny to proudly write three books for women, then we’re sure to get along.

My family and I make our home on the prairies of central Iowa, where I moonlight as a free range parent and weird chicken lady.
