Reviews for Dancing in the Dharma: The Life and Teachings of Ruth Denison

[A] stirring yet unsentimental spiritual biography. --Bernadette McGrath, Dragonfly Review [Denison] brought a strongly feminine, body-centered approach to spiritual practice at a time when this was regarded as radical if not subversive . . . Boucher's life repeatedly intersects with Denison's, making this a dual tale of development and discovery and, therefore, doubly compelling. --Whitney Scott, Booklist Dancing in the Dharma skillfully conveys Ruth Denison's full humanity: her formidable gifts and charm and her puzzling contradictions . . . [A] riveting and deeply rewarding portrayal of a great teacher. --Shane Snowdon, Turning Wheel Author and Denison student Sandy Boucher gives an intimate portrait. --Shambhala Sun Ruth is one of our most amazing Buddhist elders, whose vision has helped plant the Dharma in the West. And this is her story, compellingly and beautifully told. --Jack Kornfield, cofounder of Spirit Rock Meditation Center and Insight Meditation Society, author of After the Ecstasy, the Laundry
