About
My given name is Alice Gardner and I was born in 1953 in Connecticut, and except for living 7 years at the Findhorn Foundation when I was younger, I’ve lived most of my adult life in rural Vermont, where I learned first hand about the need for support for awakening individuals out there in beautiful remote places. In 2004 I moved to the San Francisco bay area of California, an amazing hotbed of spiritual support and activity, and regularly attend satsangs and retreats here with a teacher named Adyashanti. Eckhart Tolle was the teacher that somehow caused a major awakening in my life in 2002, but Adyashanti has been a wonderful teacher for what to do then, how to live then. The Wide Awake Living website went up by synchronicity and grace in 2003 and now a book is happening also, as well as beginning to offer mentoring services over the phone in 2007.
