A call to action for women who dream of reuniting with their unique and independent nature.
Within every woman lies a powerful force. Yet, somewhere along the line, the burdens of responsibility and desire to nurture the ones they love cause that fire to dim, and they lose their sense of self. The Vital Spark brings women on an immersive journey that reunites them with their innate humor, cunning, and assertiveness.
“In The Vital Spark, Lisa Marchiano leads us on a quest to uncover the wild woman within, so that we might come to live our fullest and most authentic life. She shines a wise and feisty light on the hidden and un-owned aspects of being a woman, and offers us ways to transcend the smaller stories that the overculture insists we should inhabit.”
Dr. Sharon Blackie, author of If Women Rose Rooted, and Hagitude
“Using myths, fairy tales, and clinical anecdotes, Lisa Marchiano describes how many traits that are essential for women to thrive get banished into the unconscious shadow. As a result, the vital spark that connects us to our aliveness, power, and authenticity is snuffed out. She takes the reader’s hand and gently guides us through timeless tales to re-find our essential selves.”
Connie Zweig, author of The Inner Work of Age: Shifting from Role to Soul and Meeting the Shadow
