"This is a gifted female text – an expression of gifted women across time and place weaving threads of feminine wisdom that were lost, stolen or repressed; a conscious re-stitching into the fabric of the whole through the ordinary power of storytelling..."
The GMC's second compilation, this is the result of a yearlong contemplative journey taken by 20 gifted women into the past to "retrieve the bones" – to bring back the voices of gifted women who came before us via ancestors, archetypal figures, myths and folktales; the voices that were silenced by the forces of power-over systems; the energies that have been excluded from conscious awareness preventing us from accessing the fullness of our feminine wisdom and our gifts.
Through twenty-six expressions of story, art, image and poetry, you’ll find the voices of the insatiably curious who refuse to stop wondering, the incomparably complex, maidens rendered confused and alone, grandmothers – human, earthen and otherwise, the ones who suffer in silence, the ones who refuse to do what they’re told, misfits, multipotentialites, wild women, warriors and crones. Each offers a medicine for deep healing and a map to ancient knowing about gifted wholeness in a culture that thrives on mental intellect, productivity and achievement.
