Ordinary Women, Extraordinary Wisdom, by Rita Marie Robinson, is a collection of intimate, heartfelt conversations with women spiritual teachers who live and look like ordinary people. They have kids, husbands, jobs, and bills to pay. What makes them extraordinary is that each woman has awakened to her true nature. And while that sounds like enlightenment, it doesn’t look like the old stereotype of transcendence, detachment, and bliss. Quite the contrary. This is the feminine half of the spiritual journey—bringing it down to earth and embracing all of what it means to be human.
 
 
These real life stories show by practical example what it means to be fully awake and fully engaged, to meet the world without resistance—even and especially when it’s not easy—whether it’s death, divorce or illness.  The invitation is explicit… “if these ordinary women can be fully awake and fully human, why not me, why not you?  And why not now.”
 
 
  
Author Rita Marie Robinson interviewed a number of female spiritual teachers, including Marlies Cocheret de la Morinière as well as Chameli Ardagh, Muni Fluss, Gangaji, Francie Halderman, Dorothy Hunt, Catherine Ingram, Annette Knopp, Sharon Landrith, Karen McPhee, Neelam, and Pamela Wilson, incorporating those conversations in this look at the feminine face of the spiritual journey. This lovely book, published by O Books in the U.K., was just released November 2007. wwww.extraordinarywisdom.net
