THE LIONESS TALE
From the
infinite spaciousness of the Eternal, emerges the story of Lioness. Within the formless dark the Light finds her and calls her into Life so that she might embody the Love
for which she is born. The Lioness Tale is an invitation to follow the
longings of your heart, to experience the Love from which you’ve come; to re-member that Love–to make it flesh and blood–in this, your one precious
life.
Through her book, The Lioness Tale, Diane leads you into the
story of a young lioness, forced to live in captivity, and in the process awakens you to the liberating spirit that lives at the center of each of our lives. With the help
and expertise of her guests, she guides you into a process of self inquiry
and discovery. Utilizing principles from a variety of traditions, with special emphasis on the Enneagram, imprisoning bars of addictive patterns are unlocked and doors to
a new life
open.

Wednesday, August 5, 2009 The Spiritual Power of
the Imagination Again we welcome Gestalt Awareness teacher, Chris Price. She will speak about the imagination as a spiritual faculty. We can enter the symbols of
our night-time dreams and the images of our day-time fantasies through the basics of Gestalt Awareness Practice by making contact with those images through breath,
openness and curiosity and meeting them as aspects of ourselves. One way Chris talks about this is with the analogy of a keyboard. Most of us are very familiar with a few
keys on our keyboard. We may play out our lives mostly in the key of C, or perhaps in one of the minor chords. These are the habits of personality that the Enneagram
speaks of. But we have many other notes available to us that we may have never explored. “The Lioness Tale" itself is an example of entering other keys on our keyboard
through the power of the imagination. Try it yourself: Who is the Lioness in you? The Panther? The Keeper? The Cage? Give these images a voice. You may be surprised by
what you learn.
About Diane
Diane Pendola is the Director and
Co-founder of Skyline Harvest, an Eco-Contemplative Center dedicated to fostering awareness of the sacred throughout
our human community
and the natural world. She is the author of The Lioness Tale and the popular online journal Earthlines.
From her time pursuing a degree in cross-cultural Religions to a Masters in Theology and Pastoral Ministry, she has been compelled to take the principles of
love, compassion and kindness, fundamental to every spiritual tradition, and put them into practice. This led her to an act of civil disobedience, protesting nuclear weapons, which provided
her with an inside look at our prison system. She has since committed her life to helping people, both inside and outside of prison, to access the spirit of liberation within them.
In order to be an ever more trustworthy mentor and transparent window to this liberating spirit she has sought her own transformation through prayer and meditation, hypnotherapy,
Gestalt Awareness Practice and the Enneagram, all of which she now teaches and practices in her life and work. She has created an in-prison transformational program, based on her
book The Lioness Tale, that complements this radio show. Her message is that Love can transform what the absence of love created. She knows all things are possible through the Love
that resides at the center of our expanding universe and at the center of our human hearts.
