The secret path of a warrior nun

The book, published by Piemme, reveals the extraordinary personal story of the author, a path of research that crosses pain, loss and enlightenment. From her youth in the eighties in Monza marked by materialism, deep inner wounds and the death of her father, Selene leaves her parents' home, stopping in Rome and Crotone in search of freedom and then fleeing to Sri Lanka, where she finds employment in an Italian tourist village and begins, amidst local civil war and silence, his authentic spiritual journey.

In the East, Selene meets two fundamental masters, figures destined to change her life: Michael Williams, who passes on to her the archaic practices of shamanic yoga and martial arts, bequeathing her the shamanic seal; Gatha Thera, a meditation master with whom she shared several years of hermitage in the jungle, where she was initiated as a monk in a female lineage, destined to be reborn only in the nineties. While, on her return to the West, it was James Hillman, a famous psychoanalyst, who became her third spiritual guide and who brought her closer to depth psychology and imaginal vision.

From the pages of the book, her path reveals itself and becomes a succession of initiatory tests, in which every loss is transformed into a rite of passage and Nature itself becomes a silent teacher, guide and refuge. Through extreme experiences, Selene goes through depression and even suicide attempts, until she is reborn and discovers the invincible strength of the soul. And, in the end, even the search for love turns out to be an expedient of the great adventure of the soul.
