What happens when a former Zen Buddhist monk and his feminist wife experience an apparition of the Virgin Mary?
Clark Strand and Perdita Finn are co-founders of The Way of the Rose, an inclusive fellowship of rosary friends dedicated to the Earth and to the Lady "by any name we wish to call Her." Strand is the author of numerous books and articles on spiritual practices, including Seeds from a Birch Tree- Writing Haiku and the Spiritual Journey and Waking Up to the Dark- Ancient Wisdom for a Sleepless Age. Finn is a children's book author and former high school teacher. They live with their family in the Catskill Mountains.
“A masterwork that will leave you in tears, it comes to the world,
as the Lady herself always comes, in our hour of need.”—Eric Utne,
founder of Utne Reader and author of Far Out Man
“In times of turmoil we need a tangible practice to help us release
worry. The Way of the Rose gives us an ancient, sustainable answer
for how to root into peace and wisdom beyond dogma and traditions.
I can’t recommend this book enough.”—HeatherAsh Amara, author of
The Warrior Heart Practice
“Ultimately, The Way of the Rose is a love song to the world, and
to the mysteries of the world. Moving and profound, powerful and
elegant, it is a call for us to remember our place in the larger
community of humans past, present, and future, and our place in the
larger community of life on this planet.”—Derrick Jensen, author of
The Myth of Human Supremacy
“The Way of the Rose is both a firsthand account of mystic
initiation and a revelation of the Divine Feminine in an age of
patriarchal madness—erudite, irreverent, and wise. . . . Manna from
heaven.”—Mark Matousek, author of Mother of the Unseen World
“This is a universal story of love, a huge-hearted invitation to
step up and into the field of the sacred feminine, a gratifying
guide to a life of joy and service.”—Mirabai Starr, author of Wild
Mercy
“The Way of the Rose is brilliantly written and filled with a
wealth of stories meant to inspire us. I feel blessed by reading
this beautiful and sacred book.”—Sandra Ingerman, author of The
Book of Ceremony
“A wonderful book . . . As I read it, I couldn't help but remember
my grandmothers and aunts praying—how gentle they were when they
handled each bead in prayer.”—Don Miguel Ruiz, Jr., author of The
Five Levels of Attachment
