The Woman Awake

The Woman Awake. Feminine Wisdom for Spiritual Life
Book by Regina Sara Ryan

Over the course of 15 years, Regina Sara Ryan, a former Catholic nun, began her search for the "feminine face of God." This book is the result of that search. Stories of her own compelling journey are intersected by those of 24 great women of spirit who guided her through inspiration, or touched her by their personal presence, including:

  • Sufi master, Irina Tweedie
  • Christian monk, Mother Tessa Bielecki
  • Zen teacher and anthropologist, Joan Halifax
  • Hadewijch of Antwerp and the Beguines of medieval Europe
  • AIDS activist and spiritual teacher, Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
  • Artist and writer, Meinrad Craighead
  • Humanitarian, Dr. Elisabeth Kubler-Ross--and others.

    Chapters include:
    One--The Awakening/A Path of Annihilation
    Two--The Desert Path: Silence, Solitude and Prayer
    Three--The Path of Waiting/The Way of Surrender
    Four--The Path of Mother
    Five--The Path of Compassion
    Six--The Path of Darkness
    Seven--The Path of the Warrior/The Way of Power
    Eight--The Path of Service
    Nine--The Path of Art and Inspiration
    Ten--The Path of the Body/The Path of Sex
