What happens when a 12th-century mystic, a 20th-century psychologist, and a modern-day priest walk into the Rhine Valley?

When Episcopal priest and psychotherapist Rev. Danae Ashley embarked on the Hildegard of Bingen Pilgrimage Way through Germany, she carried two unlikely companions: the revolutionary medieval nun, Hildegard of Bingen, and Alfred Adler, founder of Individual Psychology.

Part spiritual memoir, part self-help guide, part historical exploration, My Sap is Rising invites you on a journey through the Rhine Valley and into your own healing. Through beautifully illustrated reflections, Danae weaves together Hildegard's theology of "viriditas" (greening power), Adler's Individual Psychology, and her own experience as a therapist and pilgrim to offer a holistic path toward mental, physical, and spiritual wellness.

Each chapter includes: Stories from the pilgrimage trail; Insights from Hildegard's mystical writings and Adler's psychology; and practical exercises for your own transformation. Whether you're a therapist seeking to integrate spirituality into your practice, a spiritual seeker hungry for medieval wisdom, or simply curious about what it means to be "a feather on the breath of God," this book is a feast for body, mind, and spirit. Feel your sap rising.

The pilgrimage begins here.
