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, July 15, 2009 Chronic Pain and Addiction: A
Way Through Human beings experience imprisonment in many ways. For some, the sense of inner bondage is a result of debilitating physical pain. Dr Howard Kornfeld is a
specialist in the area of chronic pain and addiction medicine. Though not all chronic pain sufferers become addicted to the medications prescribed for alleviation of their pain,
addictions can develop. Dr Kornfeld is uniquely qualified to speak to the complexities of these issues. He has created one of the most innovative practices in the field,
providing compassionate care with unprecedented quality to patients suffering from addiction and/or chronic pain. He has pioneered the use of buprenorphine which is emerging not
only as the key pharmaceutical agent in opiate addiction but also one that can reduce the suffering of millions of chronic pain patients. If you, a friend or family member,
suffer from chronic pain or have developed an addiction as a result, tune in to what might be– for you and them– a life-changing conversation.
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.
