What if you could track your deepest soul mate love relationship through your incarnational cycle? That is exactly what Dena Merriam’s latest book When the Bright Moon Rises: The Awakening of Ancient Memories is all about. . It is a love story between the sages and the cosmic forces known as the deities and love between two individuals seeking to express this universal force of love that exists within us all. It is also a study of karma, the cosmic law of cause and effect. There is so much wisdom to be gained by not only understanding the nature of love between human partners, but also how this is a reflection of the divine love that is available to all of us.

Dena Merriam is an author, storyteller and the Founder and Convener of the Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW), which seeks to bring spiritual resources to address critical global challenges, such as conflict, social justice, and ecological scarring of the earth. Over the years she has worked to bring greater gender balance and between the Abrahamic and Dharma-based religious traditions for a more inclusive interfaith movement.

Merriam served as Vice Chair of the Millennium World Peace Summit of Religious and convened a meeting of women religious and spiritual leaders at the Palais des Nations in Geneva, and from that gathering founded the Global Peace Initiative of women in 2002. Among GPIW’s many programs is the organization of a session on the inner dimensions of climate change as the annual UN Climate Summits. In 2008, Merriam was one of the founding members of the Contemplative Alliance, which later became a program of GPIW and which explores hoe meditation and contemplative practices are reshaping the spiritual landscape our societies.
