Profile
Timothy Conway, Ph.D. brings a wealth of insights and experiential practices to empower leaders at all levels of any organization in key areas such as Realization, Motivation, Inspiration, Peak Performance, Peace-making and Stress-free Peace-living, to best fulfill their dreams and help heal our world. Residing with his wife Laura in Santa Barbara, CA, Timothy brings a deeply engaging style of caring compassion, gentle humor and impeccable integrity as a longtime educator for SBCC’s renowned Ongoing Learning program and other institutions, a counselor and consultant in private practice, and a respected spiritual teacher. In over 2,000 speaking assignments over the last 20 years, Timothy has been opening hearts and minds for thousands of people. Timothy is the founder of Rare Leadership Solutions consulting services, which provides a free and extensive website at www.rare-leadership.org. Its diverse offerings include 1) an introduction to The RARE Training; 2) essays on how the finest elements of psychology and spirituality (beyond the helpful but quite limited "pop psychology" and "pop spirituality") can bring profound transformation, optimal well-being, and real fulfillment to our most important cultures-- the worlds of business, government, nonprofit organizations, local community and family; 3) a huge selection of inspirational quotes on leadership, spiritual realization, integrity, excellence, character, virtue, service, work-ethic, and more; 4) a very practical section on Health in the Workplace; and 5) a wide-ranging collection of business and workplace humor. Timothy's even more extensive website www.enlightened-spirituality.org is one of the Internet's richest resources for its more than 80 original essays on world religions; sages and saints; healthy spirituality; enlightened politics and science; harmonious relationships; spiritual humor; and much more. A world-expert on spiritual leadership, Timothy has enjoyed one-on-one consultations and quality time with many of our greatest heroes, including the awesome “Hugging Mother” Amma (multiply-honored by the UN and major media, and first introduced to the West by Timothy in his widely-read book Women of Power & Grace: Nine Astonishing, Inspiring Luminaries of Our Time, 1995), as well as Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Tibet’s Dalai Lama, Burma’s leading sage Taungpulu Sayadaw, and many other Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, Jewish and Muslim sages. In 1981 he directly studied under India’s greatest sage of the latter 20th century, Nisargadatta Maharaj, whose pinnacle wisdom is now, over two decades later, being discovered and quoted by everyone from Deepak Chopra to Wayne Dyer. This is one of nearly 40 figures profiled in Timothy’s forthcoming massive book, India’s Sages: Nondual Wisdom from the Heart of Freedom, a companion volume to India’s Sages Source Book (over 100 sages and texts from ancient times to pre-modern). Timothy will release in 2009 his trilogy on spirituality in the new millennium: 1) Healing Our World: Crucial Solutions for Urgent Problems; 2) Spirit, Science & Deep Wonder; and 3) Our Religions’ Future: Truths, Trends & Challenges for Old and New Spiritualities. A long interview with Timothy on engaged spirituality was the Sun magazine’s cover story for April 2003. His essay, “Nondual Awakening: Its Source and Applications,” was included in the acclaimed anthology, Listening from the Heart of Silence: Nondual Wisdom & Psychotherapy, Vol. 2 (John Prendergast & G. Kenneth Bradford, Eds.), Paragon, 2007, pp. 231-254. Among other notable essays, Timothy's op-ed piece, “Why Did They Do It? Understanding and Resolving the Terrorist Problem,” was published by the Gandhi Institute in the weeks following the 9/11 national tragedy. (All these and many more essays can be found at www.enlightened-spirituality.org.) |
