Focusing on the contemplative process as women's journeyfrom oppression to liberation, Lanzetta draws especially onthe mysticism of Julian of Norwich and Teresa of Avila. Shelays out the contemplative techniques used by mystics toachieve their highest spiritual potential and also investigateshow unjust social and political conditions afflict women'ssouls.

Dedicated to a vision of theological openness and spiritual nonviolence, her work has won praise for its wisdom, eloquence, and mystical insight and is considered to be a major contribution to what theologian Ursula King called a feminine mystical way for the 21st century. She is a much-sought-after guide and mentor for the new generation, including the spiritual but not religious and new monastics alike, as she brings with her forty years of experience as a guide to answering the universal call to contemplation.
