Amelia Perkins

Amelia Perkins worked for many years in the inter-religious movement, beginning with the Museum of World Religions in Taiwan, then putting on art shows with Buddhist nuns in New York, then for the Council for a Parliament of the World’s Religions in Chicago and Melbourne. Now she’s transforming her livelihood, studying with some wise teachers, and giving one-on-one sessions and convening workshops on embodied writing, transformative growth processes and unlocking creative flow.    Amelia has written about the eros of celibacy inspired by the 18 months she lived in a convent in Greece, her mother’s wild dance with mental illness and most recently an unexpected slew of erotic love poetry. She’s been published in The Harvard Divinity School Bulletin, Canadian Journal of Psychoanalysis and Dirty Words: A Literary Encyclopedia of Sex.
