Connie Clotworthy was born and raised in Detroit where she discovered drinking and drugs at a very early age and eventually gravitated toward bartending before becoming a very successful mixologist at high end restaurants here in Los Angeles where her drinking found an environment to thrive. But a DUI, a car crash and a pyrotechnics catastrophe, drove her reluctantly into recovery where she struggled for years before a sponsor helped her discover the power of the present and meditation as a conduit to God. She now runs a non-profit  - Worthy Beyond Purpose - that focuses on teaching meditation to kids, and she has traveled the world sharing her practice and technique.
