Our August 2022 gathering was with Lorraine Segal about her book Angels and Earthworms, an unexpected journey to love, joy and miracles.

Alesia Grace Thompson interviewed Lorraine and then opened the floor for questions, comments, and an exchange of ideas.

Angels and Earthworms, An Unexpected Journey to Joy, Love, and Miracles, is a memoir about a smart, funny, fierce Jewish girl from Southern California who accidentally yet actively participates in most of the major cultural movements of the late 20th and early 21st centuries including the Berkeley peace movement, radical feminism, gay rights, and the AIDS crisis as well as lesbian ballroom dancing, recovering from addiction, finding the Goddess and a spiritual path, and surviving mobbing in academia. She tells about her experiences moving from the cramped confinement of her 1950’s childhood all the way to the rich, layered life of a happily married lesbian and conflict transformation expert in Sonoma County.

Lorraine Segal is a communication and conflict management coach, consultant and educator.
