Dear Reader,

Welcome to Desert Rising—a monthly newsletter dedicated to exploring the path of spiritual growth, self-discovery, and inner peace.

Whether you're rooted in a specific tradition or simply seeking deeper meaning in life, this space is for you. I believe that the spiritual journey is deeply personal, ever-evolving, and beautifully unique for each of us. It’s not about having all the answers, but about being open to the questions, the wonder, and the sacred moments that shape us along the way. My hope is that Desert Rising becomes a gentle companion—a space for slowing down, reconnecting, and remembering that you are never alone on this path.

Here’s to walking with intention, wonder, and spirit

With warmth,
Jen Eckles
