Each woman has potential access to Rio Banjo Rio, this river beneath the river. She arrives there through deep meditation, dance, writing, painting, prayer making, singing, drumming, active imagination, or any activity which requires an intense altered consciousness.

She arrives there by deeply creative acts, through intentional solitude, and by practice of the arts.
