Bourgeois to Buddha : my trials & errors across four continents : a memoir / Laurel Ann Francis. by Francis, Laurel Ann. [S.l.] : s.n., ©2021.

ISBN:  9781737093701 (paperback) Description:  viii, 313 p. ; 23 cm. Edition:  1st ed. Requests:  0 Summary:  "BOURGEOIS TO BUDDHA is a tale of one woman's mid-life inferno after her nest empties and how she exits her standard American home, husband and career to explore both intimacy and super-consciousness. The author invites even the most dubious reader along on her leaping, trudging and wandering quest for solace and enlightenment somewhere, somehow, amidst a plethora of wellness practices and Eastern spiritual studies. Willing to believe in guidance to "give up what you've got for what's waiting for you," her gutsy, more trusting, somewhat desperate self did it on limited resources. Laurel Ann Francis might have called her memoir HOMELESS BY CHOICE The Way, My Way @$10 A Day as she writes about her sabbatical of exploits in New Age Centers across America at Kripalu, the Omega Institute, Esalen, The Lama Foundation, Tassajara Zen Center, and Harbin Hot Springs. With a one-way ticket to India, she begins a guru shopping trip to find God (or get Him/Her/It to find her), searching at ashrams from the Himalayas to Pondicherry, signing in the Osho Commune International, and sitting at Vipassana retreats in Nepal, Thailand, and Sri Lanka... Wiser after a decade-long, four-act play of opposites, with a wry awareness of human foibles and her own shortcomings, the author returns to family revisited and reconfigured on an unfamiliar Hawaiian island, displaying a tenderness suffused with a richer understanding of both herself and the world...
