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, May 20, 2009 Love, Serve,
Remember During this episode Teresa Hahn will be reading the first third of the book “the Lioness Tale" for our listeners. We begin with the lyrics from our theme song:
“Why have you come to earth? Do you remember? Why have you taken birth? Why have you come?" In the very beginning of our story, our Lioness does remember why she’s come to
earth: to embody the love for which the light has called her into life. She remembers who she is. She remembers who she is at the level of her soul, of her true nature. But with
traumatic wounding she loses contact with the Truth of who she really is. We are all on a journey back to “home"; back to the essential qualities that lie beneath our wounds.
Our true nature, our basic goodness and wholeness has never left us. The difficulty is that the way back is through the primary wound that separated us from our wholeness, often
when we were vulnerable children. This is the journey of lioness and this is the journey of awakening the liberating spirit.
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.
