Awakening the Energies of Love illuminates the awakening of the human heart and mind to a different kind of Love--one that has long been misunderstood. Anne Hillman suggests that such a love is an intelligence to which we are all heir and have been forever called. There are many books that purport to argue for or against God, or science, or psychology, or a given religious or spiritual path. Anne takes us beyond these personal and cultural perspectives and invites us into a larger embrace. The changing cadence of her voice leads us from the familiar tributaries of our scientific, psychological, religious, or non-religious convictions into deeper waters that hold the promise of Love. Whether you are just beginning to explore this kind of awareness or have been inquiring for many years, you will find Awakening the Energies of Love to be an adventure and a sure guide to the deeper currents within and around you.

About the Author:

Anne Hillman mentors groups and individuals who seek a mature spirituality. An author and educator, her writing and experiential learning groups are an invitation to step into a creative framework larger than those our cultures tend to offer. Educated at Smith College, she was originally a classical musician, singer and choral conductor. After her husband's death in 1968, she was offered one of 17 national fellowships from the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study--the first opportunity for women to do graduate work part-time. She received a Masters degree from Boston University in Adult Learning and Organization Development and became a consultant, and for twenty years, she helped a broad spectrum of organizations tap new levels of group functioning and creativity in times of rapid change. Since 1978, Anne has explored the internal aspects of social change--an inquiry into the kinds of interior development that can contribute to fundamental changes in a culture. She is the author of Awakening the Energies of Love: Discovering Fire for the Second Time, and The Dancing Animal Woman--A Celebration of Life. Her articles have appeared in national journals and in newspapers and her poetry in several anthologies. She is certified by the graduate Institute in Creation Spirituality founded by Matthew Fox, and in Ontological Studies by Richard Moss, MD.

Review:

Anne Hillman completes Teilhard de Chardin's work by providing the next step--a pathway into the most significant transformation humanity has ever undergone. She shows how what he called the energies of Love can ignite us and, once we have caught fire, how to embody its "200,000 volts" in our lives.
