Wolfgang Fasser, born and raised in the countryside outside of Zurich, was always most at home in nature and in looking for God. He became blind at 18 and went on to study music therapy and physical therapy. He became a healer and receiver of healing in Lesotho, a small country in Africa, where he continues to travel a few months per year. Wolfgang worked for many years at Romena, a spiritual retreat center in the Casentino, a rustic area of Tuscany in Italy.
