Resumen del Editor

When the goddess culture was stolen and buried, so too were women's rites of passage into our wild, intuitive femininity and maturity.

With Maiden to Mother, Sarah Durham Wilson excavates these ancient rites, guiding us through a sacred and crucial initiation from the immature Maiden into the archetypal Mother—the powerful, safe, compassionate, full-bloom feminine life force that exists within all of us.

Becoming the Mother is every woman's birthright—regardless of whether or not she raises children. The Mother is who we needed as a child, who we were meant to be in this life, and who the world needs us to be now.

Wilson teaches that while pre-patriarchal cultures honored women's natural cycles, today's society infantilizes women, idolizing youthful traits such as "pretty, pleasing, and polite" in order to keep us distracted and dependent.

In this journey, you will travel with Inanna—the ancient Sumerian goddess who ventured through the Underworld to meet her severed, dark sister and emerged fully integrated and empowered.

Wilson helps women heal the Mother Wound and dismantle our internalized patriarchy, so we may live with authenticity and feast on the richness of life.

Lovely after pregnancy

Love this classic ! Especially after pregnancy . Favorite book to always come back to. Highly recommended

What a ride…

At first I was skeptical. Her voice sounded too…too…too something I didn’t like, believe, or enjoy. But, that faded quickly. As I dropped into the content, the potency of her stories married beautifully with her voice. Suddenly I heard her intentions and didn’t feel like I was being sold.

I broke down crying a few times. This is not for the faint of heart. If you are going through the indescribable, if life feels turn

AMAZING BOOK

Every woman should read or listen to this story. It is life-changing!! I will lead my life in Mother.

Transformative!!

Maiden to Mother, a journey far overlooked and under-examined. The author did a marvelous job weaving together personal stories, female archetypes, and patterns in Nature to closely examine the steps every woman must take to leave her wounded maiden behind and fully embrace the Mother within.

If the story-telling wasn't beautiful enough, the narrator of this particular book captured it's spirit with so much passion. I couldn't stop listening to it! My heart was deeply moved with each chapter.

This is a book I will surely return to on my own journey. I recommend it for all women (and men) who are seeking, asking, & knocking. The doors will be opened. Namaste.

A must read/ listen

For all those lonely and lost or recovery from burnout or abuse. This is a powerful and beautiful book to remind you, you are powerful and everything you need is within you! I love the stories, messages and exercises in this book. It truly helped me embrace my mother and new chapter in my life.

Excellent

Every woman should read this book. I wish I would have had this book years ago but at any age it gives clear understanding and guidance on the path of coming into and celebrating the feminine power. We can heal ourselves and in doing so heal the world.
Powerful and wonderful!

What a gem!

I am so happy I stumbled upon this book. The narration is absolutely beautiful. I love listening to this authors personal stories & and doing the reflection exercises she provided. I highly recommend diving into this!

An important wake-up in self responsibility

I read an earlier review that the author positioned the current state of environmental and public affairs as negative and that it did not guide her in her healing journey. This book is less about healing trauma and more about the wake-up to self-responsibility and the passageway to the mature feminine (which might require journeying through some hard knocks). If you’ve been on a healing journey and can’t figure out why you’re constantly feeling like the victim to your own doing, this book will explain why. It was the cherry on top to a long self-discovery journey and the final thing that made me say “enough is enough!”. Kudos, Sarah. You nailed it.

Difficult to Sit Thorough, Somewhat Worth It

The overall message is useful, but the narrator is trying WAY too hard. The message was often lost due to being delivered in the voice of a kindergarten teacher - it was just too cheezy. Also, I could have done without about 70% of the detail of the author's life. Some parts of some stories were loosely relevant to the message, but most felt like she just wanted to talk about herself. The entire final chapter was no more than an unending string of platitudes. Between the final chapter's lack of coherent idea and the author's over-earnest stressing of random words, I literally thought the book was finished at the end of EVERY sentence of the last chapter. I kept thinking "Ok, finally that's over" only for her to start a new sentence that either had nothing to do with the previous one or was just a repeat of the previous sentence as a different platitude. I feel like I would have absorbed more of the message if they had someone just read the book matter of factly, instead of trying so hard to be "encouraging" that they come across as patronizing.

narration is painful

for a different type of book, the narration would be fine. but in this it was painful to listen to and seemed like fake and forced emotion. this book is a personal story, not much of a book of guidelines or self help.
