The Great Mother Bible is unique in its ability to cut to the essence of women’s spirituality like no other book has before. It eloquently conveys the nurturing feminine quality, a healing quality that is greatly needed at this time of such chaos. While human treatment of the environment is completely out of balance, natural disasters are occurring on different parts of the globe. At one point in time, visionaries in indigenous cultures communicated with Mother Earth to keep our human relationships with her in balance. The Great Mother Bible offers to restore that communication, ultimately to help us return to balance again.
Mare Cromwell is an international speaker, multi-award-winning author and nature mystic. Her three books include: The Great Mother Bible, If I gave you God’s phone number…. Searching for Spirituality in America, and Messages from Mother…. Earth Mother. Called “The Voice of Earth Mother” by a gifted Shoshone elder, Mare has studied with Native American teachers for nineteen years and currently sits on the World Council for Wisdom Gatherings. She leads workshops on our Sacred Planet-Earth Mother, Womb Wisdom and Sacred Silliness, and is the visionary behind the Great Mother Wisdom Gathering. She loves to be involved in Sacred Water Ceremonies, is a former worm herder and calls Western Maryland home. More info at www.marecromwell.com.
