Alice Gardner

ALICE GARDNER found herself radically transformed after a retreat with spiritual teacher Eckhart Tolle in October of 2002. This completed her 30 year spiritual search and was the beginning of a new and vital exploration about fully living the realization while in the very human moments of everyday life. Alice has also been influenced strongly byrnthe teachings of Adyashanti and by having lived at the Findho Foundation for seven years. She is recently the author of a book called Life Beyond Belief, Everyday Living as Spiritual Practice, a deeply personal book about her experience in the territory of spiritual awakening, and her insights about life that she brings from that.

Alice lives very much in the mainstream of modern life. She holds a Master ofr Management degree from Cambridge College, Massachusetts, and has worked as an academic administrator at educational institutions in Brattleboro, Vermont and Palo Alto, Califo ia. She volunteers with Open Gate Sangha and mentors an international group ofrnpeople online and by telephone.

After growing up in Connecticut, Alice raised a family in rural Vermont and is now the proud mother of grown children. She especially enjoys country living, nature photography, reading, writing and the great outdoors. She now lives and works in the San Francisco Bay Area of Califo ia.
