Biography
Shakti Gawain is known around the world as an innovator in the areas of self development, particular when it comes to our definition of consciousness. After growing up in a highly academic environment, Gawain was forced to question the greater meaning of life after the deterioration of a romantic relationship. After a trip to India, she became enamored with its culture and this formed the basis of her later work. She gave up everything material, and reduced all of her possessions to what fit in a travel bag. Since writing down her experiences and ideas, she has found a huge audience, and her books are now international best-sellers. Themes that can be traced throughout her work are the idea of consciousness as a source of divinity, our connectedness to nature and the earth, the importance of creativity, and the power of visualization in reaching one's goals. Gawain lives with her husband Jim in California and Hawaii.
