THE GIFTS OF GRIEF - When Ann's husband suddenly died she chose to move into solitude and surrender to the multidimensional process of conscious grieving. During that first year she discovered grief as a gate to gifts beyond her imagining. Ann will tell stories of her uncanny, mysterious experiences; she will also share what she gleaned during a recent 10-week book tour during which she initiated 28 conversational circles that tapped into the deep cultural well of unprocessed grief that fuels addiction and shuts down our natural responses to life.

Ann Kreilkamp, Ph.D., philosopher and former publisher of Crone Chronicles, will launch a new magazine, Crone: Women Coming of Age, in Spring 2008, with Susun Weed as a columnist. Her new book, This Vast Being: A Voyage through Grief and Exaltation, has been hailed by New Age Retailer as a "rich internal landscape of fierce love and loss" and by Terry Tempest Williams as "an open door to the spirit." ann(at)tendrepress.com or www.tendrepress.com.
