Author Bio
Pioneering educator Marsha Sinetar's books close the seeming gap between the material and spiritual. Her body of work is growing, yet also time-tested. Her crossover classics, like Don't Call Me Old, I'm Just Awakening and Elegant Choices, Healing Choices, are increasingly studied in interfaith, inter-generational settings, world-wide: church, corporate, academic, health care and counseling. She currently lives in the Pacific Northwest, and is dedicated to showing how the contemplative tradition serves the progression and diverse expressions of a dynamic spiritual wholeness.
