While first attending USM back in 1997, Cindy Lou experienced life-changing transformation. This inspired her to step into a more authentic, courageous, and adventurous inner and outer life. She’s participated in spiritual journeys in Africa, India, and Jerusalem as well as working and playing all over Europe, Canada, the US, and other places around the globe. She’s run multiple marathons and climbed to the summit of Kilimanjaro. She founded a social entrepreneurial venture, Global Wrapshare, that involved connecting with amazing people in Cambodia, Thailand, Laos, and India, including a group of Tibetan Nuns in Dharamsala.

Cindy Lou is the author of The Shadow Playbook: Over 100 Ways to Shine Light on More of Who You Already Are. While Dr. Golin is considered an authority and expert in the area of human transformation, she describes herself as a perpetual student, who loves to play and enjoy Beginner’s Mind. Cindy Lou lives in a small market town in England with her husband, Martyn, where they love wandering the local footpaths and connecting with nature.

“USM is the greatest gift I’ve ever given myself, and I am so delighted to share this gift with others as part of the USM facilitation team. I first entered the USM classroom over 25 years ago, and in many ways I’ve never left. I can honestly say that I have used the USM skills every day since (I’m not exaggerating!). What Ron and Mary created is so powerful. It shifted how I relate to life, to others, and myself, and it’s been an amazing learning journey ever since—filled with insight, inspiration, greater loving, joy, miracles, and heartfelt dreams; along with struggles, loss, and challenging times as well. I want to say even in the hard times, but it’s more accurate to say especially in the hard times, the Principles and Practices of Spiritual Psychology have supported me in taking an empowered Learning Orientation to Life and leveraging the challenges for upliftment, growth, and insight.

Because the value of my USM experience has been so meaningful to me, it’s with such enthusiasm, delight, gratitude, and whole-heartedness that I serve on the USM facilitation team. I am looking forward to living, loving, and learning together as we apply the Principles and Practices of Spiritual Psychology in heartfelt ways. I am excited to be joyfully Co-Creating with Ed Adams and with all who are called to come together in this Spirit-inspired experience. I sincerely hope you will join us.”

“Dr. Cindy Lou Golin is the perfect combination of a deeply educated, highly trained teacher and a powerfully generous listener. Rare in this world. If you have a chance to work with her, do NOT pass that chance up.”

“Cindy Lou Golin is a knowledgeable, insightful, and compassionate facilitator and coach… The breadth of her practice and understanding of all this makes her work with individuals and groups unique and powerful.”
