I believe that liberation efforts that are supported by spiritual experiences of integration promote human dignity as well as social equality.\" \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eBodied Mindfulness\u003c\/i\u003e combines spiritual, social and analytical perspectives to explore topics central to women's development: spirituality, women's bodies, cultural constructions of women's sexuality in language, sexual ethics, the sexual contract in politics and at work, and the relation between nature and culture. It is Tomm's deeply held conviction that women need to bring a vital spirituality to feminist social criticism in order to resolve these issues and increase their power to promote social justice and ecological balance. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e Tomm embraces a vast store of knowledge from diverse sources, including Buddhist, shamanist and feminist resources. In a move away from abstract theorizing, she explicitly connects theory with realities lived by women. Grounding theory in personal experience -- her own and others -- Tomm delivers a powerful and empowering account of women's spirituality. The resulting ontological transformation allows women to live deeply in the body while strengthening their relation to human and non-human matter and energy. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003ci\u003eBodied Mindfulness\u003c\/i\u003e will be of great interest to feminist scholars in all disciplines, but most particularly to those in Women's Studies and Religious Studies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Winnie Tomm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/12\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 356\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.74d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889202733\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eTomm, Winnie:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003eDr. Winnie Tomm\u003c\/b\u003e is Coordinator, Women's Studies Program at the University of Alberta, Edmonton, Alberta. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wilfrid Laurier University Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40242160271475,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":38.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_2012a220-8ac8-4b6d-a9a0-d8388f60fc20.jpg?v=1657201785","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/bodied-mindfulness-womens-spirits-bodies-and-places-9780889202733","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
