This work is the answer. We need much more of this work in South Africa” -- Nozizwe Madlala Routledge Deputy Minister of Health and Member of Parliament, South Africa. "At the heart of humanity’s present evolutionary challenge is the need to heal and transform the relationship between women and men. Not only does this relationship affect all the other social, political, and economic realities of our world, it influences the larger relationship of humanity with the Earth, with the larger whole of life. It is a crucible for the entire drama. For just this reason Divine Duality is a crucial book for our time. This is a courageous work, describing the profound journey of transformation that Will Keepin and his colleagues have been skillfully facilitating and undergoing with hundreds of pioneering men and women. Its message is both unflinching and full of hope. May this book send its ripples into the world far and wide." -- Richard Tarnas, author of The Passion of the Western Mind and Cosmos and Psyche, professor of philosophy and psychology at the California Institute of Integral Studies. “This is the first time I have experienced a workshop that fully integrated both transformative learning and spiritual components in a balanced manner”-- Divine Duality is that rarest of books -- it challenges and changes your mind, but only after it penetrates your heart. So many in my psychiatric practice are depressed and traumatized by gender violence, as is our entire culture. This books lays out a beautiful and poetic combination of everyday wisdom with long-term patience, understanding and hope; in doing so it shows us how we can liberate ourselves and our communitites from an oppressive past into a reconciled, peaceful, and loving future."-- Peter Rutter MD, Jungian Psychiatrist and author of Sex in the Forbidden Zone and Understanding and Preventing Sexual Harassment "Will Keepin and his colleagues skillfully uncover the pain of male dominance and vividly reveal the joyful harmony that issues from forgiveness and reconciliation."
