Robinette Kennedy, PhD, is a Clinical Anthropologist with a profound understanding of Greek culture and tradition. She has lived and conducted research on Crete off and on since 1975, including a year spent as the first non-Greek person to live in the remote mountain village where she documented the powerful role of women’s friendships in a traditional culture. (Gender and Power in Rural Greece, Jill Dubisch, Ed.; Princeton University Press; 1986.) Her book in progress, Sacred Poses from Prehistoric Crete, brings to life a ritual practice embodied by figurines found in cemeteries, outdoor sanctuaries and sacred caves
