Maddy Cunningham and Jade de Saussure
Reviews and Awards
"With a thorough, skillful, and wonderfully balanced view, the authors of Dancing the Labyrinth explore the richness of women's spiritual development across a wide expanse of themes. They write with a profound intimacy by weaving the spiritual stories of women in their middle and older years to highlight the joys, traumas, and growth experiences forming the contours of feminist spirituality. The stories bring to life examples of how women's spiritual journeys are inclusive and deeply relational. There are also chapters exploring treatment approaches and spiritual interventions like mindfulness and creative arts. As the title metaphor of the book suggests, the chapters model the circular movements of the labyrinth and offer the reader a 'single path that leads to the center'." - Maureen E. Carey, PhD, is professor of Social Work at Molloy College and a practicing artist
""Relevant for today's therapist in a time of increased feminist awareness, this book serves as a resource that uses non-traditional models to achieve goals relating to the empowerment of women. The authors provide useful interventions whose applications are explained in terms of their practicality in the therapeutic process. Furthermore, the authors discuss concepts available to therapists. The detailed explanations-featuring extensive references-provide a strong basis for any therapist interested in utilizing novel techniques."" - Ruth Stern, LCSW, has 30 years of experience in individual, group, and bereavement therapy
