Here is a quote which set the stage for Mulberry Cottage's life and I believe is very relevant to our time now, right NOW!
From "Lifeways: Working with Family Questions" Gudrun Davy and Bons Voors, Introduction, paragraph 2:
"For generations, innumerable parents must have felt tensions between personal fulfillment and domestic obligation. But the search for liberation is now more conscious and more acute - so much so that many women have come to regard their homes as prisons and their children as jailors.
Modern families are no longer naturally sustained by tradition or by their surroundings. Rapid change has set religion afloat, and leaves personal relationships in tatters. It is possible to be very liberated and absolutely adrift. Or outwardly dutiful and inwardly in despair.
But however we rearrange our lives, we are still limited by our surroundings, and more significantly, by ourselves, by those unfreedom which we carry around with us; they are our real jailors: disinterest, habit, discouragement, suffocate the soul.
But wonder, reverence, creativity can open doors. In the end, therefore, liberation must be an inner question, a search for a quality of life which cannot be arranged, but only discovered and lived."
So it is! Thus the work of Soul Turning. https://www.soulturning.com
