A woman moves down into the depths to reclaim the parts of herself that split off
when she rejected the mother and shattered the mirror of the feminine.

To make this journey a woman puts aside her fascination with the intellect and games of the cultural mind, and acquaints herself....perhaps for the first time....
with her body, her emotions, her sexuality, her intuition, her images, her values,
and her mind.

This is what she finds in the depths. This is a sacred journey.
