The Woman Awake : Feminine Wisdom for Spiritual Life
Overview
Throughout time, women inspired by all spiritual traditions have "awakened" to their essential female natures and expressed this awakening in poetry, art, service and healing, mystical writing, teaching, and the day-to-day example of life lived with consciousness and elegance. Through the stories and insights of great women of spirit whom the author has met or been guided by in her own journey, The Woman Awake illuminates many faces of the Divine Feminine: silence, solitude, service, power, compassion, art, darkness, and sensuality. Some of the extraordinary women Regina Ryan covers are: -- The eighth-century Sufi poetess Rabia and contemporary Sufi master Irina Tweedie -- Hildegard of Bingen, Mechtild of Magdeburg and Hadewijch of Brabant -- The Beguines of medieval Europe; author Kathryn Hulme (The Nun's Story), who worked with Gurdjieff; German healer and mystic Dina Rees
