THE
WISE WOMAN WAY
What is the Wise Woman Way? It is neither alternative
nor orthodox medicine. Orthodox scientific medicine heals by fixing
the machine. Alternative or heroic medicine heals by cleaning, by
trying to get rid of what is dirty, bad, or wrong. The Wise Woman
tradition, however, heals by nourishing the wholeness of the unique
being. To the wise woman, all things are interconnected and already
perfect. The task then is not to create perfection but to make ourselves
available to it, to acknowledge and trust our bodies as perfect manifestations
of our wholeness, accepting life and death, health and sickness as
part of the spiral. The Wise Woman tradition is more than 50,000 years
old. As a "backwards pioneer," Susun brings this ancient
wisdom to our modern lives, saying "I speak for the earth. I
am the voice of the plants, bringing the ways of the Ancient Grandmothers
to the sacred sister spiral of today."
ABOUT SUSUN WEED
Susun Weed, author of four
best-selling books, and founder of the Wise
Woman Center, is here to wake us up to the earth's gifts, to entice
us to bend over and pick a weed and taste it. She loves to see the
enchanted glow that lights our faces when we realize all we need for
health and nourishment is right here for free, a give away of the
earth's abundance. She reminds us that our bodies are organic, changing
entities, not machines, and that we can trust ourselves to renew and
transform.
