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.

  • 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.
