The Way of the Rose

“A masterwork that will leave you in tears, it comes to the world, as the Lady herself always comes, in our hour of need.”—Eric Utne, founder of Utne Reader and author of Far Out Man

“In times of turmoil we need a tangible practice to help us release worry. The Way of the Rose gives us an ancient, sustainable answer for how to root into peace and wisdom beyond dogma and traditions. I can’t recommend this book enough.”—HeatherAsh Amara, author of The Warrior Heart Practice

“Ultimately, The Way of the Rose is a love song to the world, and to the mysteries of the world. Moving and profound, powerful and elegant, it is a call for us to remember our place in the larger community of humans past, present, and future, and our place in the larger community of life on this planet.”—Derrick Jensen, author of The Myth of Human Supremacy

“The Way of the Rose is both a firsthand account of mystic initiation and a revelation of the Divine Feminine in an age of patriarchal madness—erudite, irreverent, and wise… . Manna from heaven.”—Mark Matousek, author of Mother of the Unseen World

“This is a universal story of love, a huge-hearted invitation to step up and into the field of the sacred feminine, a gratifying guide to a life of joy and service.”—Mirabai Starr, author of Wild Mercy

“The Way of the Rose is brilliantly written and filled with a wealth of stories meant to inspire us. I feel blessed by reading this beautiful and sacred book.”—Sandra Ingerman, author of The Book of Ceremony

“A wonderful book … As I read it, I couldn’t help but remember my grandmothers and aunts praying—how gentle they were when they handled each bead in prayer.”—Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr., author of The Five Levels of Attachment
