Sarah Marshank: Being Selfish
Live Enlightened and Free, 2623 Gateway Rd., Carlsbad
Cost: Free
Sarah Marshank discusses Being Selfish: My Journey from Escort to Monk to Grandmother.
Sarah faces a second unplanned pregnancy at the age of 22. Her conservative Jewish, politically liberal, middle-class American upbringing fails to provide her with meaningful comfort or guidance. Depressed and disillusioned, she sets out on a twenty-year pilgrimage to explore sex, God, and herself. Her forays into orthodox Judaism, the sex trade, and new age spirituality don’t satisfy the depth of her longing for authenticity. Then she meets Sam, a New York baby boomer turned monk.
