Welcome!
As a writer, speaker, Unity minister, professional environmentalist and cultural commentator my mission is to help heal separation consciousness to create a more beautiful world for all beings to thrive.
We are spiritual beings having a human experience. We can have agency over our thoughts and feelings and find beauty and “miracles” in very dark-seeming circumstances. I believe Nature, all of Creation, is sacred and I long to be part of a human species that is a restorative force on this planet. Evolving consciousness, rethinking systems and redesigning civilization is essential to making that a reality and so that is the focus of my work.
My books, programs, courses and speaking services support positive change in the areas of Personal Empowerment, Economic System Change, Restoration of the Living World, Redesigning Civilization, and Spirituality and Consciousness Evolution.
As a Unity minister I offer services and ceremonies including Celebration of Life, christening, weddings.
Programs
The ReThink — Consiousness Evolution, Economic System Change, and Creation
The ReThink ministry is grounded in the understanding that all Creation is sacred, and humanity only fully thrives when we are in healthy and respectful relationship with one another and all of life.
The ReThink focuses on:
- Redesigning economic systems and questioning assumptions that are currently undermining environmental health and social justice and equity.
- Rethinking how humans view and interact with nature, ecosystems, and animal species, particularly those we have commodified.
The ReThink works to accelerate momentum toward a new normal in human civilization, economies and ecological relationships. We are working to ensure that we don’t just “go back to normal,” but instead, seize this tumultuous, disruptive time to create new, healthier, saner norms. This is the time for Economic Evolution and Rethinking Relationships with one another and Nature.

Speaking Services
I view speaking as a sacred trust. It is a privilege for people to invest their time and money listening to a speaker and I take that very seriously and am always fully committed to delivering my best.

A Book for these Times
Here’s what people have been saying:
“Filled with forgiveness and love, and a story of rebirth and transformation that recognizes our deepest fears and hurt, and offers a path to healing.” –John de Graaf, co-author of AFFLUENZA and co-founder of the Happiness Alliance.
“When Life Blows Up: A Guide to Peace, Power and Reinvention is both a story of growth and reinvention as well as a guide to living authentically and vitally. Cylvia recounts some truly difficult circumstances, and is quick to take ownership with breathtaking humility and poise. Her story is inspirational and instructive. I highly recommend this to anyone enduring difficulty and hardship.” — John Nash, CFO.
When Life Blows Up takes the reader on an intimate journey through a devastating public shaming that destroyed my business, countless relationships and even my personal sense of identity. Through the annihilation of who I believed myself to be I discovered the True Self I hadn’t yet met and opened to new opportunities I hadn’t known existed. This book is for anyone experiencing loss, grief, and unexpected life upheaval. It offers proven strategies for:
- MANAGING FEAR EVEN IN CRISIS
- FINDING POWER IN SURRENDER
- HARNESSING FORGIVENESS
- RELEASING SHAME AND GUILT
- REENTERING CAREER and COMMUNITY WITH PEACE AND POWER
“This book can serve as an inspiration for anyone who feels that they can’t possibly get up after life has knocked them down.” — John Kitzhaber, former Oregon Governor
