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, July 24, 2009 Adverse Childhood
Experience In a detailed study of over 17,000 middle-class Americans, called the ACE study, it was found that the intensity of adverse childhood experiences (ACE),
directly effects the quality of physical and emotional health, as well as greatly increases the risk of addictive behaviors, in adulthood. Dr. Vincent Felitti, MD is a
co-Principal Investigator in this collaborative research project between Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program and the Centers for Disease Control. These findings have
transformative implications for both our health care system and our treatment of addictions. As Dr Felitti says, "Our findings are disturbing because they imply that the basic
causes of addiction lie within us and the way we treat each other, not in drug dealers or dangerous chemicals. They suggest that billions of dollars have been spent everywhere
except where the answer is to be found." Learn more about what these answers might be in this enlightening conversation between Diane Pendola and Dr. Felitti.
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.
