Today Marks the Beginning presented a two-day event with Carol Lee Flinders, author of Enduring Lives. The first event was a lecture and book-signing: "Enduring Lives: Women and Faith in Action". Ms. Flinders explored the lessons we all can learn about the power of embodied spirituality from the four women profiled in "Enduring Lives": Etty Hillesum, Jane Goodall, Tenzin Palmo, and Sister Helen Prejean. The following day she led a workshop on "Cultures of Peace and the Women who are Building Them". It was a day-long journey of discussion, meditation and discovery. Carol Lee Flinders, the highly acclaimed author of Enduring Grace, chronicled the impact of such female saints and mystics as Teresa of Avila and Julian of Norwich. In Enduring Lives, she traces that same thread—that spiritual "mother-line"—right to the present day in the lives of the four protagonists. With the spiritual discernment born of more than 30 years of contemplative practice, she explores how, in the face of fascism, racism, misogyny, religious and ethnic hatred, and widespread environmental destruction, each of them was able to make "an angel of her anger."
