About Minnie
What does a grieving widow do?
Sail to Antarctica.
The magic of Antarctica…meditation on place
She wrote her first book when she was 13 and has been writing ever since.
Her marriage of forty-six years ended with the death of her husband and her widowhood began with her first trip to Antarctica.
Minnie’s third trip to Antarctica was on the square-rigged Bark Europa.
The growing demographic of Baby boomers will be facing dying and grief sooner than they expect. Shards of Ice provides pathways and experience.
She has written about food for the prize-winning Simple Cooking, essays on spirituality for yoga and monastic journals, music reviews for newspapers, and poems in Haiku books. Shards of Ice is her first memoir.
Minnie studied at Sarah Lawrence College, the New School for Social Research, the Episcopal Divinity School, the Universita per Stranieri in Perugia and was a founding participant and teacher at the International School of Spiritual Reading and Healing in Portugal.
