Beschreibung
I have not been as electrified by a book since Women Who Run with the Wolves
Lisbeth Cheever-Gessaman, artist and illustrator of The Divine Feminine Oracle
In these pages you will encounter the archetypal Eve-not the literalized Eve that has for so long served as justification for horrific environmental and social injustices, but the mythic Eve who liberates. Weaving in her own lived experience of stepping beyond the boundaries of fundamentalist religion into deeper spiritual sovereignty, Dr. Leilani shows us the power of disobedience to set us free.
Part mythological exploration, part cultural commentary, and part personal memoir, The Flesh and the Fruit shows us the power of creative transgression as we move toward new ways of being and living. Dr. Leilani empowers us to find our own knowing, permission, and blessing as we walk out of the "shoulds" and into our own nature and wildness.
The Flesh and the Fruit is an invitation for us to step into the center of our own circles, to believe in our beauty and inherent worth rather than in the ancient poisonous tale of our fallenness and depravity. Dr. Leilani encourages readers to challenge the hierarchical systems of power that sever us from ourselves, from each other, and from the Earth and to live from our wild knowing.
If, after reading this book, your life hasn't changed and you don't feel renewed and awakened, read it again, more slowly.
from the Foreword by Thomas Moore, New York Times bestselling author of Care of the Soul
