Spiritualität voll Leidenschaft

Teresa of Ávila is an extraordinary woman. In the face of great resistance from the official church and a dominant male world, she championed inner prayer, which centred on her friendship with God. These struggles strengthened her resilience and her self-confidence as a woman. She is a feminist avant la lettre. As an experienced psychologist, she is empathetic and speaks knowledgeably about the soul, self-knowledge and self-realisation. From her own experience, she knows about the power of the anima, which ensures that our lives remain colourful, varied and passionate. She speaks convincingly about ecstatic experiences and the desire for God and advocates an untamed, original and joyful spirituality. She knows humour and suffering and is an example of how mysticism arises where longing and despair come together. She tells us what this unique woman has to say to us today in a fictional, sometimes serious, sometimes humorous, entertaining conversation.
