Are you feeling some churning in your heart and soul in the midst of your everyday life and find yourself wondering - "What is this? How can I find some peace within again?

Sue Monk Kidd offers this honest reflection in her Preface of her profound book that can guide us on our personal journeys. "When the Heart Waits was written from a place deep inside me. It comes out of the well of my own journey and midlife experience. It's always difficult and risky to try to put soulmaking into words. I found that to be especially true with this book. ...I tried to grapple with the sacred questions of life, with the journey and mystery of the human soul as it grows spiritually, moving through passages most have forgotten exist. You'll find me talking a lot about waiting, for in many ways waiting is the missing link in the transformation process. ...waiting as the passionate and contemplative crucible in which new life and spiritual wholeness can be birthed."

Her chapter titles are: "The Long Way Round; Quickaholic Spirituality; and From False Self to True Self; Crisis as Opportunity; Letting Go; Concentrated Stillness; Incubating the Darkness; and Unfurling New Wings". Through this work, she leads us through the transformation process using the imagery of a caterpillar spinning a cocoon and all that occurs within, before emerging as a butterfly.

Come and join with other sisters needing a safe space to ponder and discuss these moments in our lives. If you're interested, please sign up on the registration box above.
