Hi Friends,
I'll make this month's E-Newsletter brief as I'm on the Big Island of Hawaii leading a 5 day Retreat. Last week's cruise to Mexico was fantastic. If there's such a thing as having too much fun we did it. BTW, this month's picture is of Cindy and I doing a book signing (for her, it's her CDs) in Austin, Texas. Austin is one of my favorite venues and I've been there 7 years in a row. We've already agreed to go back next year. Some places are just made for you.
I'm going to include my Appearances schedule for May at the end of this E-Newsletter. You can always get the contact info and more details on the Appearances page of my website, www.GaryRenard.com
On a less positive note, I want to inform you that there's a trumped up, phony "controversy" about me being gleefully circulated through the Course in Miracles Community by Robert Perry and the so-called "Circle of Atonement." Who else? The "controversy" is based on an article that was written by a deservedly unknown writer named Bruce MacDonald. He claims I "stole" Pursah's Gospel of Thomas in my second book, Your Immortal Reality. I'm writing a response article to this and I'll be sending it to you in a few days. It's called, "My Response to the Latest Absurd Accusations." And they are just that: absurd. Please watch for this article in your e-mail box and read it. Bruce MacDonald, your 15 minutes are up. Robert Perry, (and this doesn't just come from me but also from many others) why don't you stop writing about the Course and start doing it?
Here's that speaking schedule:
May 1 and 2, Toronto, Canada. May 8, Santa Fe, New Mexico. May 14, Join me as I accept the Infinity Foundation Spirit Award in Chicago. The award is given to a person who has made a meaningful contribution to personal and spiritual growth. Past recipients include Dan Millman, Ram Dass, Gary Zukav, James Redfield and Neale Donald Walsch. May 15, All day workshop in Chicago. May 22, Workshop for Pathways of Light in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
I hope to meet you, or see you again!
Thanks and love, Gary
