Fresh Springs Deep Down 

Glimpses of Grace in the Personal and Political

 

 

Reflections on motherhood, creativity, politics, community, aging, and spirituality

 

Many of us strive to live consciously and open-heartedly as we age. This means honoring both our heartbreaks and victories.

In this book of essays, I muse on timeless themes from the perspective of a Midwestern empty nester and everyday contemplative. My deeply personal reflections are colored by the sweep of political events and social change during the pivotal years 2015 to 2019.

I invite readers to plumb the spiritual, psychological, and cultural depths of their own daily reality, and to explore their own hunger for an expansive life.

 

 

Author and workshop facilitator

Anne Bernard Becker

In my books, articles, and workshops, I seek to bring awareness to the spiritual and psychological realities that stir beneath the surface of daily life.

I am the author of Fresh Springs Deep Down: Glimpses of Grace in the Personal and Political, a book of essays (2020). In 2014 I published an intimate account of childhood grief, Ollie Ollie In Come Free: A Memoir of Swallowed Time. Since 2006 I have been leading workshops in the Cincinnati area on intergenerational trauma.
