About Me ~
Sera Beak is the brightest light in the next generation of red- hot spiritual activists. She breaks rules and smashes stigmas in order to wake up and ignite the deepest part of our Divine selves.
– Kris Carr, filmmaker, author, Crazy Sexy Cancer
I’m Sera Beak, a Harvard-trained scholar of comparative world religions who’s spent the past 14 years traveling the world studying spirituality – from whirling with Sufi dervishes to meeting the Dalai Lama on my 21st birthday; from taking the host from a Croatian Catholic mystic who had the stigmata (truly) to having life-altering visions with shamans (and everything in between). I now happily deem myself a spiritual cowgirl and a redvolutionary although The New York Times recently called me one of the new “Carrie Bradshaws of self-help spirituality”. I do like shoes.
I’m the author of The Red Book: A Deliciously Unorthodox Approach to Igniting Your Divine Spark and the forthcoming book, Redvolution: Dare to Disturb the Universe, and director of the upcoming feature film also entitled Redvolution. Besides these creative projects, I offer Red workshops, talks, mentorship, divine winks, a Redvolution pleasure kit, and I officiate weddings (in a red dress).

I was called a:
“flesh-bound instrument of cosmic
love torture.“
And an:
“Izzatic Cowgirl With Wings
of Seraphic Flame”
by my favorite novelist, Tom Robbins.
Another word magician I revere, Rob Brezsny, said:
“Sera Beak is a fount of guerrilla splendor, a tender blast of reverent insurgency, a healing vortex of shocking beauty, a wildly disciplined devotee of freaky purity, and an uproarious dispenser of ethical mischief. I salute her with a playfully prayerful fist waving in the dream-inflamed sky.”
Now, before this gets too flattering, please know that I have also been called some not-so-nice, not-so pretty things and received comments like this:
“i find your blog totally disgusting and tasteless. you call yourself a woman of God? you should be ashamed of yourself! i can’t believe your filthy mouth! NOT funny at all and no class whatsoever.”
-Concerned
It comes with the job.
My raison d’etre (for now) is to remind you – with as much authenticity, humor, fire, sass, and rapturous rose petals as possible – that you embody an incredibly powerful, fiercely-loving, always winking, extraordinarily-needed facet of the divine SheBang (that for me, just happens to be best represented by the color, energy, and flavor of red), which when recognized and unleashed in ways that are appropriate and unique for you, will not only dramatically transform your life (including your career, relationships, health, sexuality, spirituality, clothing choices)- but will help heal this entire planet.
In other words, I’m here to start a Redvolution – a fire-breathing, body-rocking, heart-pumping, soul-smooching, deliciously-unorthodox movement of the modern feminine divine – and I can’t do it without you.
For how I got to be like this, please check out “Losing My Religion” from the Introduction of The Red Book.
For how I got to really be like this, stay tuned for my forthcoming book, Redvolution
Thanks so much for visiting!
Red Hot and Holy Love,
Sera
