About Peter Fenner
Peter Fenner, Ph.D. is the founder and developer of the Radiant Mind course in nondual awareness. He is an Australian currently living in France, who travels the world teaching the Radiant Mind program, a synthesis of Asian nondual approaches. He studied as a monk for nine years with many notable Buddhist lamas, including Thubten Yeshe and Sogyal Rinpoche. He is founder of the Center for Timeless Wisdom, and author of numerous books, including Reasoning into Reality and The Edge of Certainty.
His most recent book is Radiant Mind, Awakening Unconditioned Awareness, is described as follows:
Whether it is called enlightenment, pure awareness, or the “unconditioned mind,” there exists an awakened state of pure liberation that is at the heart of every contemplative tradition. Yet, according to Peter Fenner, this experience of boundless consciousness does not have to exist separately from our day-to-day, “conditioned” existence. Rather, we can learn to exist as unique individuals at the same time as we rest in a unified expanse of oneness with all existence–in a state he calls “Radiant Mind.”
In Radiant Mind, Peter Fenner shares the insights, techniques, and exercises he has developed in teaching the thousands of students who have attended his sold-out workshops, including:
- How to observe and dissolve fixations, to live in the here and now without being controlled by our desires
- Listening and speaking in a way that moves us toward pure openness–and lets us share this experience with others
- Tools for identifying our conscious and unconscious sources of suffering–and learning to transcend those patterns
“As extraordinary as unconditioned mind may sound,” teaches Peter Fenner, “it isn’t distant from our everyday life; it’s always readily available to us.” Now, this respected authority on both Eastern spirituality and Western psychology introduces readers to a set of practices available to anyone open to the complete possibilities of their spiritual evolution–and to the experience of the unconstrained bliss of Radiant Mind.
A master of nondual spirituality teaches practices for integrating the liberated state of unconditioned awareness into your everyday life.

About Elke Babicki
Elke Babicki is a former clinical therapist with a Masters degree from the University of Toronto. She has led workshops in Europe and Canada and has helped thousands to claim more power in their lives.
Elke is an intuitive who has had numerous clairvoyant dreams and experiences that inspired the writing of her current book. With the foundation as a clinically trained psychotherapist, Elke has learned the value of multi-sensory ways of receiving information, intuition and synchronicity. Her personal stories offer clear and compelling evidence for the power of perceiving reality in this extended way.
Originally from a small historic town called Straubing, in Bavaria and growing up in Europe, she had explored many European countries & at the age of seventeen, spent six weeks in Israel. She explored New York, Toronto & Montreal. In Greece, on the next vacation, she decided to take a leap & come back to Canada.
Elke always felt most at home using her intuition. In May 2004, for a period of about one year, she had numerous dreams out of the ordinary. She could not explain them logically but they were very clear messages. She turned her experience into a manuscript – Making the Connections - Live The Life You Really Want. She recorded the dreams & others also witnessed them, so she could see the predictive nature of many of them. She discovered she had in fact followed her clairvoyant great grandmother’s footsteps. Her book serves as a documentary of a journey to a much more rewarding universe.
Her book is an accessible, powerful step-by-step guide to breaking out of old patterns and claiming your intuition and sensitivity. You will learn to tap into the underlying network that connects all things and to trust and listen to your own intuition.
“I help people to live with the same richness and passion I have discovered. I have come to see that this is not only a gift for ourselves as individuals, it is our best hope for the future of humanity.” – Elke Babicki
