Dr. Gary Lawrence and his wife Sylvia have spent their lives successfully leading others to “identify, isolate, and eliminate” the root cause of the emotional turmoil in their lives. Over the course of 23 years serving as the founder and director of the New Life Dynamics Christian Counseling Center and 20 years as the host of his own radio show, Life Mastery Counseling with Dr. G, he has personally met with and coached more than 6 thousand clients, has overseen the counseling of another 10,000 clients, and has inspired thousands more on radio, television, and stage.
After retiring, Dr. G took the opportunity to refocus on the timeless principles of his bestselling book, Rejection Junkies. In this guide to recognizing the damaging effects of rejection and the way in which this trauma manifests constantly throughout all phases of life, Dr. G helps readers to recognize the people, places, things, and circumstances that hold us hostage, keep us stuck, and make us bitter. A true freedom coach, he offers powerful and practical steps to unplug from these emotional energy thieves!
Married for 55 years, Dr. G and Sylvia continue to bring their knowledge, experience, and deep passion to individuals and couples who wish to resolve personal, marital, family, and parenting conflicts.
“You are unconsciously hooked on creating and recreating the rejection of the past.”– Dr. G

About Nina:
Nina Cruz is a certified conscious parent coach/social worker whose mission is to support parents in building healthy connections with their children. She does this through teaching them conscious parenting, where they heal their own childhood wounds so they can consciously raise empowered children.
When a parent’s inner world shifts, their outer world changes, transforming the parent–child dynamic from chaos to control to worth and connection.
Parents who gain a new sense of awareness through inner transformation create a new blueprint for themselves and their children. This is why one of Nina’s greatest passions is to guide parents to do their own ‘inner work’ so their children can be free to live out their authentic destinies.
Certified as a conscious parenting coach, Nina integrates eastern mindfulness with western psychology in helping parents heal their ancestral legacies. Her expertise has allowed her to collaborate with experts around the globe.
“We have a new breed of children who are awakening the whole planet, and they are different.” – Nina

About Chidakash:
As a young man with a passion for seeing life from different perspectives, Chidakash travelled extensively in Europe, North Africa, South Asia and Australia. While in Australia he became National Education Officer for a major charity organization affiliated with the FAO, and established the ideas centre, an education initiative that brought Third World voices and viewpoints into classrooms across the county.
Upon his return to Canada he met his life partner Shera on an island in the west of Canada. Together they built a fairy-tale cedar “castle” which became Serenity by the Sea Retreat. For 26 years in a program called The Next Step, people facing a turning point in their lives could reconnect with their passion and empower themselves to restart their lives.
Chidakash and Shera also created Enter the Mystery offering spiritual journeys to Machu Picchu. For 18 years they guided travelers along the Inca Trail and into the “mysteries” both of the fabled Inca citadel and themselves.
Chidakash believes everybody comes with a unique gift, and strives to empower the people he meets to find their voice and express their creativity—so they can deliver that gift into a world that has been waiting for it.
“Don’t think that love ends just because someone has passed away.” – Chidakash

About Steven Twohig:
Founder of Mastering Change, Steven Twohig has committed himself to mastering the art of transformation. While seeking to heal from trauma inflicted while just a toddler, Steven was introduced to the practice of shadow work in April of 2000, leading to a lifelong study and what he believes is a path to enlightenment.
Steven spent a decade working for and studying under the world's leading business and life strategist, Tony Robbins. He wanted to blend shadow work with business strategy, integration, and implementation. Tony commissioned him to interview over 10,000 business leaders worldwide to determine what made them successful and help thousands transform their businesses to be more productive and strategic.
Currently, he is studying the impact of shadow work on psychedelic integration. He focuses on bridging the gap between traditional plant medicine and the western mind, intending to bring the insights and innovation that plant medicine provides to everyone who wants more out of their lives. He believes that we are finally on the cusp of proper mental healthcare, which will spur global innovation.
He is an international speaker and has traveled worldwide, teaching a blend of strategy, shadow work, and spirituality. He has extensive study in mindfulness, mindset, business optimization, shadow work and facilitation, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), hypnotherapy, group dynamics, peak performance, leadership dynamics, and unconscious communication. Through this work, he has formulated a specific framework for understanding the human experience and is currently training other guides to spread the practice.
“Shadow is the unseen connection between people, places, things, and events.” – Steven Twohig
