meet Jane English
Author, Photographer, Physicist
Jane English, PhD, born non-labor cesarean in 1942, has since 1973 been exploring the physical, social, and psycho-spiritual aspects that kind of birth. She grew up in a small town in New England, did undergraduate work at Mount Holyoke College, and began photographing while completing a PhD in physics at the University of Wisconsin.
In 1970 she decided not to continue with a science career but to do photography and embark on an exploration of consciousness. Her photographs of nature illustrate many books, including a best-selling translation of the Chinese classic Tao Te Ching, published in 1972 by Random House. She founded her own publishing business, Earth Heart, in 1985 and published Different Doorway: Adventures of a Cesarean Born.
Having visited Greenland several times, she has created The Ceremony Cards: A Living Introduction to the Traditional Teachings of the Far North from Greenland. Her other interests include gardening, skiing, amateur radio, hot air ballooning, and being with children in an outdoor education program, EarthWalk Vermont. She currently lives in a small home on a dirt road by a pond in northern Vermont, USA. Websites: http://www.eheart.com , http://www.cesareanvoices.com , http://www.theceremonycards.com .
