On Be(come)ing a Woman of Wisdom: Memoir of a Modern-day Tantrika - Volume 2 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798218960841)

Volume 2 of this memoir picks up where Volume 1 left off with the author on her way to the Krishnamurti Educational Center in Alresford, England, about 60 miles southwest of London, to live and study in this spiritual community.

As she turns from the external journey of her youth and young adulthood to an inward psychic journey, devastating and sublime in its revelations, we witness the author's continued quest to explode her natural sexual Shakti Energy into an influential and artful feminine wisdom. From mid-life to cronehood, we wonder at the unfolding of a relationship of chaos and love, at her embracing of celibacy, join her in the darkness of unknowingness, and journey into the hidden influence of the patriarchy. We cheer as she meets the challenges of attaining her bona fides as a Process Work therapist and delight in witnessing her heart opening during three months volunteering at an orphanage in India. Further, we follow the author's growing psychological and emotional maturity through sorceric maneuvers and psychedelic medicine work. Her journey culminates in an unexpected relationship with a tantric partner that, through their united body energies, leads to a vast, formidable, and sustained opening to sublime joy and connection with the very fabric of life.

In this and the previously published volume, the author unashamedly exemplifies a pathway through conventional, societal, and familial limits to the hidden spiritual truths behind women's sexuality and truth-telling. These two books are nothing less than a call for women in every walk of life to dare to embrace their personal stories, family lineage, intimate relationships, motherhood, and sexual energies with wonder and curiosity and courageously tell their stories. The author proposes that this vital ownership and declaration by women of their full feminine wisdom and power is the key to reshaping our society and sustaining the beauty and plentitude of planet Earth so she can sustain us.
