Taking Back the Wisdom of the Feminine
I recently had the pleasure of hearing Gail Straub read from her new
book and couldn't wait to get my own copy. I've been a fan of hers ever
since I took a train the trainer workshop from her in1999.
Returning To My Mother's House, Taking Back the Wisdom of the Feminine
Similar to Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, the book is Gail's
personal journey of finding her path back to the feminine. Her journey
takes her on an amazing trek around the globe and eventually back to
her mother who died when Gail was 23.
It is her story, told with courage and honesty and it is each of our
stories. You will find yourself reflecting on your own life and
that of your Mother. Gail's story rekindled in me the
importance of the feminine in todays world. The 'feminine being all about embodiment, the arts, intuition and
spirituality.
Returning to My Mother's House identifies 5 ways we loose the
connection to the feminine: running from emotion, addiction to doing,
abandoning interior life, losing connection with the body and not
standing up for our true self. Where do you disconnect from the feminine? This is a great place to be looking as the New Year begins.
