Cindy Lora-Renard

Cindy Lora-Renard is an international speaker on A Course in Miracles,

and the author of A Course in Health and Well-Being (published

in six languages) and the best-selling books, The Business of

Forgiveness, Heaven is Now, and the newly released Spiritual Coupling:

A Guidebook for Experiencing a Holy Relationship. Cindy and her husband, Gary Renard,

also facilitate two 2-hour online classes on A Course in Miracles every

month. In addition, Cindy has a Master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology

from the University of Santa Monica, and is also a visionary singer

and songwriter. She uses her knowledge of A Course in Miracles, music,

and psychology, as healing tools to help others awaken from the dream

of separation to the higher octaves of life.

Cindy was born in Toledo, Ohio, to two very educated and

accomplished teachers. Her father, Ron Lora (now in retirement)

is an award-winning History Professor who taught at the University

of Toledo in Ohio. Her mother, Doris Lora (now in retirement) was

a highly respected Music Professor at the same University, who later

changed careers and received her Ph.D. in Psychology. Both continue

to remain very active in their communities. When Cindy was 17 she

moved out to Los Angeles, California with her mother where she still

resides. She started on a spiritual path in her early 20’s, going through

the spiritual buffet line until she encountered A Course in Miracles,

which became her chosen path. She eventually met and fell in love with

her husband, Gary Renard, also a prominent teacher of A Course in

Miracles, and best-selling author of several books of his own. A gradual

242 SPIRITUAL COUPLING

process unfolded where Cindy realized the direction her path was

meant to take. She continues to enjoy her work as a writer, speaker, and

facilitator of online classes with Gary, and presenting audio recordings

on A Course in Miracles through her website. She loves to meet people

from around the world. She likes to say, “We are all in this together.”
