Anne Hillman mentors groups and individuals who seek a mature spirituality. An author and educator, she has spent the last 30 years exploring the internal aspects of social change—an inquiry into the interior and group development required to sustain fundamental cultural transformation. Her newest book, Awakening the Energies of Love: Discovering Fire for the Second Time, was inspired by Teilhard de Chardin. Teilhard’s biographer, Ursula King, PhD, cites Anne here as one of four people who have given us new metaphors and ideas about love for our time. Brian Swimme, PhD describes Awakening the Energies of Love as “providing an experiential pathway into that necessary [cultural] transformation”. Anne is also author of The Dancing Animal Woman—A Celebration of Life. Both books were influenced by Thomas Berry and Brian Swimme. Her talks and retreats are experiential and inclusive of all perspectives. Intended to foster a deeper inquiry into the meaning of one’s own life and choice of path, they offer an opportunity to experience the kind of love that unites differences.
EDUCATION: Anne was educated at Smith College as a classical musician, singer, and choral conductor. She held positions as Director of Music in public and private schools and at the Junior College level. She later received a Masters degree in Organization Development from Boston University. She is also certified by the graduate Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality founded by Matthew Fox, and in Ontological Studies by Richard Moss, MD. |
