Buddha and the Dancing Girl

A Creative Life

By: Catherine Ann Jones

Narrated by: Catherine Ann Jones

"Every page offers stories, insights, or wisdom that we can take home. Meanwhile, we eagerly turn the pages, wondering what will happen next. In Buddha and the Dancing Girl, Catherine Ann Jones generously shares experiences most of us will never have: acting on the stage and screen, living for years in a South Indian hut, writing award-winning plays and screenplays, and lecturing internationally. Yet her memoir offers a deeper gift: spiritual and psychological wisdom distilled from a lifetime of reflection." (Dianne Skafte, PhD, Listening to the Oracle)

"Buddha & the Dancing Girl is so warmly and gently written, her lessons learned quickly become our own. Reading about the author's life varied explorations of diverse dimensions of possible experience help us to energize, validate, and increase attention to our own spiritual consciousness." (Arthur Kornhaber, MD, Spirit)

Catherine's outer life and accomplishments is matched in its richness only by her inner spiritual life. What a life lived! Catherine balances the tug of war of opposites—the inner spiritual world in one hand, the outer world of theater, acting, writing in the other—with the grace and beauty of a ballerina. Buddha and the Dancing Girl is a beautiful and fascinating read that I literally could not put down." (Molly Jordan Koch, coauthor of Magic Time: My Life in Hollywood)

"Catherine Ann Jones gives us a life with two centers, art and the spiritual quest. As her title implies, she dances for the sake of a deeper reality. I couldn't put it down." (Al Collins, PhD, Fatherson: A Self Psychology of the Archetypal Masculine)
