The Dark Night of the Soul: A Journey from Absence to Presence

by Fiona Robertson, Jen MA PhD (ABD) Peer Rich (Foreword by)

Overview

In this profound and intelligent book, Fiona Robertson acts as companion and guide through the dark night of the soul, one of life's most challenging experiences. The dark night - or spiritual emergency - is the underbelly of awakening, an aspect of inner transformation that is often minimized, misunderstood or denied. Fiona has captured the essence of the dark night journey with compassion and clarity. Weaving her own story together with those of others who have traversed this terrain, she has created an evocative, inspiritng work to give succour to all those who are touched by the dark night. Fiona's honesty and insight cast new light on the reality of awakening, and she makes a compelling case for mature, evolving spirituality in these troubled times.

She is committed to co-creating an inclusive, embodied, grounded, evolving spirituality. She loves acting, is an occasional poet, and lives in Nottingham, UK.
