Mirabai Starr is a Professor of Philosophy and World Religions at the University of New Mexico-Taos and a best-selling spiritual author known particularly for contemporary translations of sacred literature. As a teenager, she lived at the Lama Foundation, an intentional spiritual community in New Mexico, USA. It was at Lama that Mirabai encountered many of the leading teachers and timeless wisdom of diverse spiritual paths: Hindu; Buddhist; Sufi; Jewish; Christian, and Native American and was especially influenced by Ram Dass, Reb Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, and the teachings of Murshid Samuel Lewis. Mirabai lives in the mountains of Northern New Mexico with her husband, Jeff Little. Between them, Mirabai and Jeff have four grown daughters and many grandchildren. Mirabai’s youngest daughter, Jenny, was killed in a car accident in 2001 at the age of fourteen. On that same day, Mirabai’s first book, a translation of Dark Night of the Soul, was released. She considers this experience, and the connection between profound loss and longing for God to be the ground of her own spiritual life. Now a certified bereavement counselor, Mirabai helps other mourners harness the transformational power of loss. Her latest book, Wild Mercy, explores the wisdom of well-known and less-known feminine mystics from the past millennia, exploring what wisdom they have for us today in this time of spiritual and ecological upheaval.

MARABAI STARR is living the fierce and tender wisdom; which happens to be the subtitle to her book, author of Wild Mercy Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics…

After thousands of years of prayer formulated by the patriarchal religions, the divine feminine is asking us to change the way we pray and repair our broken world. Not by transcending the body—that’s the old patriarchal way. She’s inviting us to embrace and embody Her. She is here. She is alive. And Mirabai Starr brings Her shining and singing in and through each one of us! View the Show Notes and get your free gift at https://janetconner.com/4

Mirabai Starr is a writer and modern mystic whose books include God of Love and Caravan of No Despair. Most recently, she has published Wild Mercy: Living the Fierce and Tender Wisdom of the Women Mystics with Sounds True. In this episode of Insights at the Edge, Tami Simon speaks with Mirabai about her approach to feminine mysticism and what brought her to write Wild Mercy. Mirabai explains women mystics' emphasis on interbeing as well as the innate connection between spiritual seeking and the fate of the earth. Tami and Mirabai talk about the potential forms that spiritual communities may take in the future and how we can navigate the death throes of patriarchal religious structures. Finally, they discuss the reunion of masculine and feminine perspectives, as well as why loss opens us to immense compassion. (60 minutes)

Mirabai Starr, the author of Wild Mercy, shares a conversation with Raghu Markus about the subversive wisdom of mystics throughout history and bringing balance to the feminine and masculine within ourselves.

For our third episode of the podcast we have an engaging conversation with Lorenz Wild, the Director of Economic Opportunities and Market Development at the American-based INGO Mercy Corps. We talk about empowering entrepreneurs and small businesses, issues that stem from a dependence on imports and exports, funding needs, and business regulations in Jordan. Plus, we touch on hiking the variety of incredible wadis (ie valleys) of the country, the lack of games in bars, and life in Jordan vs. Ethiopia. Please NOTE that Lorenz's interview represents his personal experiences and views, not the official stances of the Mercy Corps organization.

Please join us for an interview with Elizabeth Cunningham,the  novelist, poet, interfaith minister, and counselor. Cunningham is the direct descendant of nine generations of Episcopal priests and grew up hearing rich liturgical and biblical language, which, among other literary and personal influences, strongly informs her writing. She is the author of the series The Maeve Chronicles, as well as many individual books, such as The Wild Mother;The Return of the Goddess, a Divine Comedy; How to Spin Gold, a Woman’s Tale; Small Bird; and Wild Mercy. The novel Red-Robed Priestess, the fourth of The Maeve Chronicles will be released in mid-November. Cunningham has stated that both The Maeve Chronicles and her interfaith ministry express her profound desire to reconcile her Christian roots with her call to explore the divine feminine.  For more information about Elizabeth Cunningham, please visit: http://www.passionofmarymagdalen.com/pages/about_elizabeth_cunningham_author.html Tiferet Journal has recently published a compilation of twelve of our best transcribed interviews.
