LightPage networks I participate in
I am a psychologist and author currently living in Costa Rica. My practice focuses on both psychological and spiritual development and healing. I also teach courses to future psychotherapists at National University, Brandman (Chapman) University and the California Institute for Human Science.
I am the principle author of The Root of All Evil: An Exposition of Prejudice, Fundamentalism and Gender Imbalance. My co-authors are Dr. Aliaa Rafea (an Egyptian Sufi Anthropologist), Rachel Falik (an Israeli Jewish woman currently living in U.S.), and Jenny Eda Schipper. The book demonstrates how patriarchal ideology has taken us to the brink of destruction and makes a case for gender balanced leadership in all areas of life and, in particular, politics and religion. The book's website is www.rootofevilbook.com
A more recent publication is The Revelation of the Breath: A Tribute to Its Beauty, Power and Wisdom (SUNY Press).
I just completed an edited book, A Force Such As the World Has Never Known. Many women around the globe share their stories, illustrating a variety of ways to create change. It's in the publication stage (and this doesn't happen overnight).
My Sufi order, the Sufi Ruhaniat International, focuses on the unity of world religions and an honoring of diversity. This has deeply influenced my work in this area and also my publications. As an ordained minister, I am actively involved with Interfaith work but specifically focused on gender balance as the turning point.
In particular, I deeply care about my human family and wish to support all healing processes.
I am particularly interested in the relationship between psychology and religion.
