Keys to the Open Gate: A Woman's Spirituality Sourcebook

"We undertake a spiritual search when we are homesick for light, when there is a yearning for connectedness," begins Kimberley Snow in her introduction to this field guide to women's spirituality. "The aim of this source-book is to help us as contemporary women to redefine spirituality for ourselves while discovering how we tap into it through felt experience. Drawn from Judeo-Christian, Buddhist, Islamic, Native American, Sufi, Hindu, Shamanic, Goddess, and other traditions, Keys to the Open Gate is a practical resource for any woman who wants to participate in spiritual awakening, deepen her sense of self, and connect more fully with the world." Through an eclectic collection of writings, meditations, and visualizations, Keys to the Open Gate sensitively addresses issues of particular interest to women, Beyond God as Male or Female, Sex and the Soul, Childbirth as a Spiritual Event, the Womanspirit Movement, and Deepening Spirituality through Nature.
