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, June 10, 2009 Mothers Behind
Bars We welcome Jo Chapman to our show for a conversation about
incarcerated mothers and the devastating effects on their children as well as society at large. Jo agrees that The Lioness Tale is representative of the stories of these women
and the deep grief surrounding the loss of, and separation
from, their children. Join us as Jo humanizes incarcerated mothers through sharing their stories and her love and commitment to them with us. This show moves us to re-discover
the humanity of the incarcerated and in the process helps us
recover our own humanity. Jo was a founding board member of Skyline Harvest and has been involved in working with women in prison for over 25 years. She is also the Parenting
Coordinator for the Federal Correctional Facility in Dublin,
California where she teaches parenting classes and works with the women on issues surrounding their children.
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.
