The Alchemical Power of Fear

Like the readers she attracts, Sande Hart is a seeker. As she shares, in the introduction to The Liminal Odyssey, "I figure, this is just an idea that has been floating in the Universe, waiting to bump into, and burrow into someone who was a perfect specimen, with a combination of life experience, suffering, wild adventures and insight; one who felt this exploration as a bigger responsibility to ride, and/or follow until it became meaningful. Once it identified me as a ripe recipient, it picked up speed and accelerated in my direction. As this concept was hurtling through space, it collected particles of other philosophies and wisdom, from those I have personally had the privilege to bump into in  Sande Hart is an award-winning leader in the fields of women’s empowerment and interfaith community building. She founded the women’s interfaith international grassroots organization S.A.R.A.H. (The Spiritual And Religious Alliance for Hope) the morning of 911, an instinct to gather women of diverse faiths to protect all that they consider sacred, now in its 20th year.
