Cindy Teevens is the author of The Alchemy of Love and Joy

Six years after the violent suicide of her father, in one moment her own intense suffering was swapped for amazing joy, altering her life permanently. Happiness and peace became her predominant states. Laughter burst forth at the simplicity and power of it, and tears of gratitude flowed. Understandings began to come about how we have been living backwards, how we have mistaken the outside for the inside, and how we have tethered ourselves to the uncontrollable winds of change in the midst of freedom—and how we can return to truth, sanity, and peace.

She dropped everything she was doing to show people how to feel good no matter what because when you shift your state, your whole perspective and world shifts; problems dissolve, villains become victims, and compassion kicks in. She wondered “How was it that we could not have known this before?” So many understandings followed this amazing revelation, that she simply could not NOT share this gift. Now Cindy helps people awaken joy in their lives.

About nine months after discovering joy, one day in the woods she was knocked to her knees by an explosion of love that was followed by the end of time and space, self and other, and when she looked up at the trees, she saw they are me, as everything is. Uncontrollable laughter belted out from the belly of being, tickling every cell in her body as it laid on the snow, laughing and crying at the simplicity and unbounded joy of it all.

Cindy Teevens now dedicates herself to awakening love and joy in others.

Gary Renard, the best-selling author of The Disappearance of the Universe and Your Immortal Reality, was born on the historic North Shore of Massachusetts. He became a successful professional guitar player, but during the harmonic convergence of 1987, he heard a Calling and began to take his life in a different direction. At the beginning of the 1990’s, he moved to Maine, where he underwent a powerful spiritual awakening. As instructed, he slowly and carefully wrote Disappearance over a period of nine years. In the fall of 2003, after much encouragement from other speakers and students, Gary began to present talks and workshops in public. His speaking career took off remarkably fast, and today he lectures internationally.

Combining a disarming sense of humor with radical, cutting-edge metaphysical information and experiential exercises, this acclaimed teacher of A Course in Miracles has been described as one of the most interesting and courageous spiritual speakers in the world. Over the past seven years, he has spoken in 43 states, 23 countries, and was the keynote speaker at the International A Course in Miracles Conferences in Salt Lake City and San Francisco. Gary is also the most recent recipient of the Infinity Foundation Spirit Award. The award is given to a person who has made a meaningful contribution to personal and spiritual growth. Past recipients include Dan Millman, Ram Dass, Gary Zukav, James Redfield, Byron Katie, and Neale Donald Walsch.

I live in the beautiful Hill Country of Texas with my beloved partner Tom. I grew up in Southeast Asia as the son of Protestant missionaries. I lived in Berkeley, California off and on during the 1960s, and later in various places. My diverse experience contributes to the richness of my imaginative stories. After 17 years as a college dropout, I finally returned to school and obtained a degree at CSU in Fort Collins, Colorado in. I graduated in 1994. I'm now writing and making artworks full-time at home and my purpose is service to humanity and the planet. I do what I love and I love what I do. Self-employed from now on, soon I'll invite Tom to retire and also pursue his own bliss.
