Mirabai Starr Bücher

We live in a world that has suffered the abuses of an unbalanced masculine rule for thousands of years--but the feminine is rising. "Seeds of feminine wisdom that have been quietly germinating underground are now breaking through the surface," writes Mirabai Starr. "Women everywhere are rising to the collective call to step up and repair our broken Earth. And we are activating a paradigm shift such as the world has never seen." With Wild Mercy, Mirabai shares the subversive wisdom and fierce compassion of the feminine mystic across cultural boundaries and throughout history. From saints and sages, to goddesses and archetypal energies, to contemporary teachers and seekers--you'll meet women who blazed a path that will illuminate your own. Wild Mercy provides a much-needed alternative to the models of religion and spirituality that have dominated history. Here, Mirabai invites you to welcome the wisdom of women back into the collective field where it may transform the human family, heal the ravaged Earth, and awaken the divine love in our hearts

Influenced by modern Eastern spirituality teachers, Mirabai Starr dedicates her life to honoring diversity and celebrating unity among all paths leading to love. Known for her translations of Spanish mystics, she delves into the spiritual roots of Western religion, offering an insightful introduction to the beliefs, scriptures, and practices of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Starr introduces a new context called InterSpiritual, which provides a framework for understanding our religiously pluralistic world. Unlike the "interfaith" movement focused on institutional cooperation, InterSpiritual emphasizes personal and spiritual dimensions, recognizing the common roots shared by all religious expressions. Starr, acclaimed for her translations of St. John of the Cross and St. Teresa of Avila, employs fresh, lyrical language to make timeless wisdom accessible to contemporary seekers. As a teenager, she lived at the Lama Foundation, a spiritual community honoring all faith traditions since 1967. Since 1993, she has served as an adjunct professor of philosophy and world religions at the University of New Mexico–Taos, emphasizing connections between the perennial teachings at the heart of all spiritual paths. Starr shares her insights through national and international speaking engagements and teachings.
