Synopsis
Dancing after the Whirlwind explores the devastating effects of denial on a woman's spiritual identity, her understanding of herself and her place in the world. L.J. Tessier explains how sexuality and spirituality came to be seen as opposites in many religions and cultures, and shows us other models that see sexual expression as a significant component of our connection to the sacred. She examines the experience of three groups of women whose sexual desires, memories, and experiences are routinely denied by society: lesbians, survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and HIV-positive women. From these women, we learn of strategies for reclaiming the whirlwind of erotic power and seeing it for what it is - the sacred force through which we most deeply touch one another as human beings.

Review
In this lucid, transformative, liberating, and beautifully written theology of sexuality, Tess Tessier provides us with a vision of our sexual lives that will lead us to greater courage, honesty, healing, and wholemaking loving. -Rita Nakashima Brock, director, The Bunting Institute, Radcliffe College
"Undulating with sex and spirit, Tessier's text releases the suffering, repressed and ultimately healing energies of women's most disqualified eros. . . . An original, accessible and indispensable discourse of the wild." -Catherine Keller, author of From a Broken Web and Apocalypse Now and Then "In this intriguing volume, Tessier brings both her academic background in philosophy and religion as well as her poet's soul to bear on important issues of sexuality and spirituality." -Publishers WeeklySynopsis
Tessier explores how a woman's spiritual identity is affected when society denies her sexual identity. She draws on the lives and stories of lesbians, HIV-positive women and victims of sexual abuse, as well as on her own life, to show how women can claim back the wildness within, to learn to live with integrity, and to be true to their sexuality.
