Dorothy Walters, Ph. D., spent much of her professional life teaching college level literature (contemporary novel) and women's studies. In l981, at the age of 53, she experienced massive Kundalini awakening, an event that catapulted her into intense ecstasy, a state for which she had no name. She continued without any external teacher or guide for fifteen years, experiencing both ecstasy and pain as the energies were integrated into her system. At the suggestion of Andrew Harvey, she began writing mystical poetry inspired by her experiences. She will read from her forthcoming book, "The Kundalini Poems, Reflections of Radiance and Joy."
Dianne Armentrout is a workshop leader and writer living in the Boulder area. Her life was deeply affected when her child lived only a few minutes after her birth. She has written about this experience in her book "Walking the Labyrinthof My Heart." She is currently writing a book based on her ancestors' experiences as Greek women struggling to survive in a patriarchal system. She brings a special sensitivity and delicacy to her work, born out of her own life journey.
