Women of Spirit share Rituals Divine provides first-hand access to the personal spiritual space of 40 awesome and diverse storytellers who share evolution-empowering reflections of their connection to the Divine. Women of Spirit share Rituals Divine presents many approaches to ritual and spiritual development, as this project demonstrates the universality of spiritual practice across traditions, ethnicities and place, and diminishes perceptions of difference at a time when the world desperately needs healing. This book supports unity by negating the concepts of right/wrong, good/bad and ageless wisdom/new age within practiced spiritual traditions. Contributors to this collective volume include renowned authors, scholars, recording artists, sound healers, community and global leaders, ministers, traditional healers, spiritual activists and teachers – all visionaries. The women featured were chosen because of their connection to ritual and their acknowledgement of the profound difference that lived spiritual practice has made in their personal lives and work of service in the world.Among the roster of women who contributed essays are: Rickie Byars, singer, composer, multidimensional artist, and founding director of Agape International Choir; Riane Eisler, eminent social scientist, attorney, social activist and international best-selling author; Dr. Laura I. Rendon, author, scholar, practitioner and social justice activist; Christine Stevens, music therapist, author and founder of UpBeat Drum Circles; LouisahTeish, writer, performer, spiritual priestess, and Olori of lle Orunmila Oshun; Lynne Twist, global activist, fundraiser, speaker, consultant and author; Iyanla Vanzant, renowned author, spiritual Life Coach, ordained minister and Yoruba priestess; and Alice Walker, revered author and activist.
