Winnowing

Winnowing is a literary contemplative memoir about spiritual seeking in modern life. Through a constellation of vivid, personal stories, Kira Higgs illustrates how ordinary moments—childhood impressions, adult ruptures, uncanny encounters, and the sometimes inconvenient revelations of meditation practice—gradually opened a deeper way of seeing. Written with gentle humor and hard-won wisdom, she invites readers to consider that what feels like loss may, in fact, be the key to transformation.


Available on Amazon March 2026.
