Searching for Joanna- the Real Arodafnousa: Pierre I de Lusignan and Joanna L'Aleman
The focus of this work is the love affair between Pierre I Lusignan and one of his courtiers by the name of Joanna L’Aleman. The primary source for this affair is the work entitled Recital concerning the sweet land of Cyprus entitled 'Chronicle' by Leontios Macheras. It was written in the Cypriot Greek dialect sometime between 1426 and 1432, approximately 50 to 60 years after the events it describes. The story of the affair and Queen Eleanor’s revenge also appears in later documents, although they have relatively little of substance to add other than noting that the composite Chronicle of Amadi names Joanna’s deceased husband as Thomas instead of Macheras’ Jean/John. Pierre was effectively the last Crusader, he toured Europe between 1362 and 1365 to raise money and troops in a bid to recover Jerusalem. He launched a successful attack against Alexandria in 1365 and was heralded throughout the western world for his deed. Yet within 4 years he lay dead, murdered in bed by his own people.

In one snapshot, two adult brothers lie together on a Persian carpet wearing only white briefs; in another, the black-clothed bodies of two embracing women merge, suggesting the atavistic overlap of mother and daughter. The title itself, which denotes a warm or stuffy atmosphere, captures the paradoxical nature of the...
Active Hope
The challenges we face can be difficult even to think about. Climate change, war, political polarization, economic upheaval, and the dying back of nature together create a planetary emergency of overwhelming proportions. This revised, tenth anniversary edition of Active Hope shows us how to strengthen our capacity to face these crises so that we can respond with unexpected resilience and creative power. Drawing on decades of teaching an empowerment approach known as the Work That Reconnects, the authors guide us through a transformational process informed by mythic journeys, modern psychology, spirituality, and holistic science. This process equips us with tools to face the mess we’re in and play our role in the collective transition, or Great Turning, to a life-sustaining society.
