Traveling with the Turtle contains many spiritual gems, including practical steps on how to reach inner peace through accepting, embracing and dealing with our emotions, negative and positive, and loving ourselves just as we are, and our neighbors as ourselves.  Readers will be inspired by and empowered to work for nonviolence and justice in their own place and time.

Powerful and practical tool for women to connect with, explore, heal and empower their deep feminine selves. No woman circle should be without this informative and inspiring guide to the heart of feminine spirituality. An invitation to enter into a personal yet global journey of transformation.

Harambee!!  Cindy Preston-Pile and Irene Woodward have woven together different cultures and modalities to create a peacemaking synergy in which the process is the path and the path becomes the process.

Traveling with the Turtle is a wonderful resource. What bootcamp is to the military, this remarkable program could be for women who would undertake nonviolent social and political change, be it in a war-zone overseas or within their own neighborhoods and homes. The simplest instructions carry the weight of the authors’ long experience in the field and their intimate knowledge of the “canon” of non-violent literature. I love the book and will commend it widely.

Peacemaking will become a universal reality when women join together to unleash their collective wisdom and power.  Here is a journey to take us there.  Wisely crafted and richly provisioned, it will help each woman who walks it to find her own strength and her own distinctive voice.

Traveling with the Turtle is a beautiful tapestry of women’s wisdom around nonviolence and a source for promoting women in spiritual leadership.

Women are the peacemakers.  The world will not achieve peace without the energy and the work of women.
