I found "Matri" to be a gentle but profound and poetic guide for women and men on a spiritual path. Zoe Ann Nicholson draws upon the wisdom of saints and seekers from many cultures, many times, and suggests a practice by which today's women and men might weave a new and unique tapestry of harmony and balance from today's chaotic and fragmented energies.

"Matri" points out that we need look no further than our own heart to courageously participate with all of creation in sourcing a harmonious world. I highly recommend this little book. It is indeed inspired.

For women who have been inspired by "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz, this concise work provides a blueprint that is soothing and empowering. Zoe Nicholson has written a poetic piece that speaks from the heart to help all women find their spirtual center.

This small, but powerful book reinforces the necessity of balance, shakti, chi, grace: the life-giving, life-sustaining energy contained in the feminine principle in a world of duality. A call for balance and harmony, this series of "Letters from the Mother" of all is a wonderful compendium of brief, yet potent meditations for women who seek balance and empowerment through increased spiritual awareness.

To read Matri is to begin a journey toward reaffirming and regaining our lives and contributing to a refreshed world without dissembling or rationalization. Step by step, we are led through a daily practice of clarity and renewal, beginning with the interior self. As daughters, we are reminded to occupy our personal space respectfully, enjoy harmonious unions based on the renewal of spiritual energy and respond appropriately to the needs of the world we inhabit.

Like the soothing rhythm of the ocean breaking upon the shore, the key to a balanced and fruitful life lies in the most subtle nuances, the calm voice of the Mother urging us to our better selves that we might begin to infuse the world with peace. Listen carefully, not for answers, but understanding. Luan Gaines/2003.

Matri, Letters from the Mother, is a beautifully written little book that takes the reader into the world of the feminine aspect of God. Profound, yet easy to read with its elegant and simple writing style, it is a book which brings forth quiet knowledge, inspiration, and stillness in the reader. A beautiful book that can be carried with you, to be read, reread, and reflected upon as you go through the activities of the day. This book will be inspiring for both men and women who work to bring clarity, compassion, and balance into their hearts and lives.

Timeless wisdom. Zoe breathes a beautiful life into the words of the Mother. There is something for everyone in this beautiful little book. I particularly love the section on meditation. It is always wonderful to hear timeless truths spoken in a fresh new voice.
