It is a book for women who have mothers, are mothers, or are considering becoming mothers, and for the men who love them. Telling the stories of women whose maturation has been experienced in the cycle of mothering, it urges a view of the psyche of women that does not sever mother from daughter, feminism from the feminine, body from soul. It argues that the path to wholeness requires us to reclaim aspects of the feminine self that we have lost or forgotten in our struggle to free ourselves from constricting roles. It describes a woman's journey to find her roots in the personal, cultural, and archetypal Motherline. Our mothers are the first world we know, the source of our lives and our stories. Embodying the mysteries of origin, they tie us to the great web of kin and generation. Yet the voice of their experience is seldom heard. We have no cultural mirror in which to envision the fullness of female development; we are deprived of images of female wisdom and maturity. Finding our female roots, reclaiming our feminine souls, requires us to pay attention to our real mothers' lives and experience.

Her fourth poetry collection, The Faust Woman Poems, follows one woman's Faustian adventures during the 1960s and '70s, through Women's Liberation and the return of the Goddess. Her memoir, The Sister from Below: When the Muse Gets Her Way tells stories of her pushy muse. She is the author of The Motherline: Every Woman's Journey to find Her Female Roots. Lowinsky is a Jungian Analyst and member of the San Francisco Jung Institute where she has taught a poetry workshop, Deep River, for many years. She is co-editor, with Patricia Damery, of the essay collection Marked by Fire: Stories of the Jungian Way. She is also Poetry Editor of Psychological Perspectives, a publication of the Los Angeles Jung Institute. She lectures and gives writing workshops in many settings and blogs about poetry and life at sisterfrombelow.com. Recipe for a superb chapbook: Sing a song of home, of the places that have held you. Lament the haunted Shoah-torn dwellings that could not hold, and invoke the poets that gathered the remnants of grief. Create a dirge for the loss of your home where the great power animals and spirits hovered, and give the home a voice to wail your leaving. Celebrate the husband who makes a house a home and lovemaking that brings fire to the everyday. Conjure character and richness out of loss, moving back and forth through time in anguish and joy, as though all times were this one. Descend to the deep where you are swallowed and spat out-whole. Find solace in a new garden amid the unexpected. I heartfully recommend that you join Naomi Lowinsky in this powerful, finely crafted journey, as The Little House on Stilts Remembers.

She shows us the ways in which cultivation of one's inner life creates sacred space. Admitting that this is not an easy practice in our hectic, fearful times, she demonstrates how the word from within orients--whether it comes as gift or disturbance, guest or ghost, riddle or revelation. It may force a confrontation with one's worst fears. It may visit in nightmare images, such as the enormous spider with hairy legs and eight baleful eyes that appeared in a dream, come to warn, it would seem, of the perils facing human nature and Mother Nature. It is essential, especially in difficult times, to make space for what the Kabbalah calls the beyond that lies within-- the still small voice of the Self, the long view of the wisdom traditions. In this collection of poetic, visionary essays, Lowinsky tells stories of the Lady Tree who showed up when she was six, and has wandered in and out of her life, revealing her Goddess nature. Active imagination enables her to work out unfinished business with ancestors including her father and Jung. Dreams introduce her to her spirit guides, and to a dancing rabbi who insists she study Kabbalah. And that scary spider turns out to be Grandmother Spider, a creator goddess who has the power, if we recognize Her, to help us reweave our relationship with earth.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52140105728273,"sku":"NLS9781771690362","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781771690362.jpg?v=1757572715"},{"product_id":"red-clay-is-talking-book-naomi-ruth-lowinsky-9780967022420","title":"Red Clay Is Talking","description":"Poetry.
