Lawrence Furman

Lawrence Furman returned from his journeys into the afterlife craving more experience in this one. His desire to fulfill the visions he'd gained in the spirit world began in the '60s in San Francisco. During a fifteen-year stint in a spiritual community, his exploration into healing modalities led him to become a deep-tissue bodyworker and counselor, as well as a male midwife. As an actor, director, and writer, Lawrence toured the country with several theater companies, and he's traveled the globe performing as a magician. In the fall of 1992, after a myriad of spirit beings came pouring through him while on retreat on the island of Kauai, Lawrence began channeling their multidimensional perspectives to the many people who attended his weekly groups. These days, he mentors teens, is busy writing another book, gives workshops, and is a sought-after speaker.
