Mother-Lines of the Spirit by Carol Lee Flinders Adolescence: A Grail Journey of the Heart by William Bento The Woman Awake: Feminine Wisdom for Spiritual Life (Book) by Regina Sara Ryan
Price: $12.50
Price: $12.50
Price: $19.95
By Carol Lee Flinders  Biological mother-lines are the channels through which our evolutionary inheritance flows.  Spiritual mother-lines come into existence when we take our evolution into our own hands.  We will explore how they connect us with mothers, daughters, grandmothers and granddaughters in altogether new ways, and with women we may never meet face to face: a Dorothy Day or Aung San Suu Kyi; a Teresa of Avila or Wangari Maathai.  They can render us fearless, resourceful and radiant.  Distinct, yet joined like partners in a dance, the mother-lines of body and spirit turn and twine within us like the double helix of our DNA.   Audio recording in CD format. Workshop by William Bento  As the biological chemistry alters throughout puberty, the delicate subtle sheath of the heart transforms, setting the soul upon a universal quest that will involve 16 gateways to maturity. Using the story of Parzival as a metaphor for our times, this presentation explores the meaning of the transformation and the gateways for youth today.  Audio recording in CD format. 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.  Chapters include:  The Path of Mother, The Path of the Warrior/The Way of Power, The Path of Art and Inspiration, The Path of Community, and more.  Inspiring!

Price: $12.50
Workshop by Rahima Baldwin Dancy  In this video with Rahima, you are invited to consider the four levels of family life-physical, rhythmical, emotional and spiritual-as a practical lens for making your home life more harmonious and supportive for all members of the family. Something you'll want to watch again and again over time, as your family changes.  This video recording in DVD format was recorded at a different conference, but is essentially the same presentation as the audiorecording in CD format. Book by Kim John Payne. A must-read for parents of children of all ages, this compelling book delivers on the promise of its subtitle: “Using the Extraordinary Power of less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids.”  Payne is a Waldorf teacher with over twenty years experience working as a counselor with parents and children, and his suggestions can transform your parenting and home life.  He builds a timely and practical case for simplifying your child’s environment, rhythm and schedules and for protecting children from all the concerns of the adult world.  Together with You Are Your Child’s First Teacher if you have young children, Simplicity Parenting will last you through the teenage years.  Book, hardcover, 235 pages. By Deanna L'am  How would our world be different if adolescent children were witnessed, cherished, and celebrated as they transition into adulthood?  Since most of us have not been welcomed into adulthood as teens, our best intentions draw from a blank space within us.  We must nourish the parts of ourselves that were left wanting in order to navigate and chart the unknown waters of mentoring our youth.  This talk is intended to inspire you to embark on this demanding yet exciting journey.  Audio recording in CD format.

Price: $12.50
Price: $12.50
Workshop by Nancy Poer  Sophia Wisdom, the universal spiritual feminine knowing of the eternal, was once revered. In our era of materialism, egotism and destructive domination of the natural world, we are called consciously to renew in our hearts and communities, this life-giving interconnectedness to spirit, earth, all nature, and one another.  Audio recording in CD format. Keynote Address by Linda Knodle   Sexuality is a personal, physical, cultural and spiritual journey that lasts our entire lives-and one that can cause parents a great deal of confusion and concern. Linda shares ways of exploring our own biography and values, as well as insights into child and adult development that can support us as we parent and educate our children about sexuality-from preschool through young adulthood.  Audio recording in CD format (60 minutes).
