Poetry for Birthing New Being
This is one of my favourite poems to contemplate at the Seasonal Moment of Winter Solstice: it expresses so much for me of the journey into new being, and continues to at this time. Birthing is a shamanic act – it is frought with challenge and often takes one to the limits, yet eventually the […]

There’s a Place for God and it’s in the Bedroom
by Glenys Livingstone Ph.D. This is a slightly edited version of a paper presented by the author at the Religion, Literature and Arts Conference Sydney 1995, and published here by request – apparently still very relevant.
