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, June 17, 2009 The Power of
Purpose Ken Hartman is one of those exceptional human beings who are a testimony to the triumph of the human spirit. Serving a life sentence in a California State
Prison, his story is a mirror reflection of the story of The Lioness Tale. He found that even here, in this monstrous world of razor wire, concrete walls and prison bars, he
could wake up and choose his own path. That path has been to make the world he is living in a better place. Ken conceived and implemented the Prison Honor Program which is a
successful working model for the kind of true reform that is needed for our failing prison system. It is a shining example of what is possible when one person is ignited by the
power of a purpose-filled life. Kenneth, through the crucible of his own tragic life story, has become a Panther, a teacher and a companion to others on their journey of
awakening to the liberating spirit, both within their own hearts and within the soul of our society.
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.
