Lawrence Wollersheim

LawrenceLawrence Wollersheim is a director of Universe Spirit (www.UniverseSpirit.org) an organization that has helped birth the new Evolution 2.0 and its Universe Evolutionary Worldview, the principles of Sustainable Prosperity, Universe Citizenship and Evolutioneer programs, the Job One for Humanity Climate Restabilization Plan and Religion 2.0 (AKA Evolution Spirituality,) the first open source, meta-religion grounded in the sciences of universe evolution."

Since 2002 Lawrence has been the Executive Director for all operational aspects of Universe Spirit's evolution science and Universe Evolutionary Worldview research, educational activities, publishing, web operations, online Universe College and all related marketing. 

Since 1983 as a major part of his life’s passion, Lawrence has been continuously studying, experiencing and being committed to the forwarding the balanced and healthy relationship of science and spirituality particularly evolution science and the healthy and effective aspects of personal direct spiritual experience of Ultimate Reality found within both science's discoveries and the world’s great eastern and western spiritual traditions. In addition to his management administrative and research and writing duties at Universe Spirit, since 2002 Lawrence also performs all of the normal ministerial functions of an Evolution Spirituality Life and Spirit facilitator.

Lawrence Wollersheim is also a director of several sister organizations of Universe Spirit; the Universe Institute, (www.UniverseInstitute.org) Universe College (www.UniverseCollege.org ) and Universe Day (www.TheUniverseDay.org.)

For the last 22 years Lawrence has also been a managing director at FactNet Inc., (www.factnet.org) a nonprofit educational organization that is the oldest Internet resource for victims of cults and abusive religious practices who are seeking information and recovery. For over 20 years Lawrence was mentored by and became a protégé of Dr. Margaret Singer, Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley, who was, before her passing, the world’s leading authority on mind-control, destructive religious practices and destructive cults.

Over a 32-year period, both before and during his tenure at FactNet, Lawrence was involved in a series of lawsuits against the infamous Scientology cult. His success in these lawsuits against Scientology established important new legal precedents on freedom of thought and informed consent in alleged religious settings. These new legal freedom of thought and belief precedents are now part of the first-year constitutional law studies of many US law students. To date, Lawrence has been the only individual to ever successfully sue, win and fully collect from the Scientology cult.

As a social advocate Lawrence also helped to win the largest California SLAPP (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) lawsuit to date against an organization that was using excessive litigation tactics to unfairly financially overwhelm, harass and intimidate an under-funded non-profit social advocacy organization. His SLAPP legal precedent has been a powerful legal aid to all non-profit organizations in legal battles with big corporations filing meritless lawsuits designed to bankrupt their less-wealthy opponents.

In addition, Lawrence spent over 20 years as the founder and managing director of HealthKeeper Inc., a software company specializing in assisting dieters, diabetics and individuals with cardiovascular problems related to weight and nutrition. At HealthKeeper, Lawrence invented the NutriCode, which is a colored bar code that allows the user to understand a food label’s nutritional content and its impact on their daily diet goals without having to do any math. From his various experiences, Lawrence has an extensive 30-year background in both day-to-day business operations and information technology, which he is able to draw from for his work in the non-profit, for-profit and social advocacy sectors.

Lawrence Wollersheim is a polymath and autodidact.  He is also dyslexic, which he credits with helping him to keep a sense of humor and humility in his personal life and creative social advocacy work. 

Anodea Judith

Anodea Judith, Ph.D., is the founder and director of Sacred Centers, and a groundbreaking thinker, writer, and spiritual teacher. Her passion for the realization of untapped human potential matches her concern for humanity’s impending crises — her fervent wish is that we “wake up in time.” She holds Master's and Doctoral degrees in Psychology and Human Health along with lifelong studies of healing, mythology, history, sociology, systems theory, and mystic spirituality. She is also a 500-hour registered yoga teacher, considered to be one of the country’s foremost experts on the combination of chakras and therapeutic issues and on the interpretation of the Chakra System for the Western lifestyle. She teaches across the U.S., Canada, Europe and Central America.

She is best known for the chakra classic, Wheels of Life: A User’s Guide to the Chakra System, (Llewellyn, 1987, revised 1999), an illustrated 435-page manual that has come to be considered the definitive work on the subject. With approximately 200,000 copies sold in English and additional printings in 15 languages. Her second book, The Sevenfold Journey: Reclaiming Mind, Body, and Spirit through the Chakras (Crossing Press, 1993, 289 pp.), was co-authored with Selene Vega and arose out of the popular Nine-Month Chakra Intensive, taught by Judith and Vega for over two decades. Eastern Body, Western Mind: Psychology and the Chakra System as a Path to the Self, released by Celestial Arts in February 1997 charts childhood development, related difficulties and techniques for healing them, all within the chakra model and is a popular text in healing schools across the country. In March of 2000, she released a six-tape audio course called: The Chakra System: A Complete Course in Self-Diagnosis and Healing through Sounds True, Inc., followed by the popular boxed kit: Chakra Balancing. Her artistic expression combines with her mystic passion in her award-winning DVD, The Illuminated Chakras, a co-creation with her son, Alex Wayne, an artist and animator.

Her most recent book, Waking the Global Heart: Humanity's Rite of Passage from the Love of Power to the Power of Love, won two literary awards in 2007.  It charts the history of human development into our present crisis and necessary transformation, with an inspiring message of hope for our future.

Anodea conducted a private somatic therapy practice in California for over 20 years, but now travels worldwide as a speaker and seminar leader.

(Please note that Universe Spirit is a DBA of Integrative Spirituality inc., a non-profit spiritual organization. We changed our name from Integrative Spirituality to Universe Spirit in 2010.)
