Brenda Astara Gustin, Ph.D., has focused her life upon peace and freedom. As co-founder and President of a Sudbury School, children, including her own, were provided opportunity to create from their innate desire to learn. Trust allowed them to grow into responsible citizens. At the Radiant Health Center, she and her colleagues assist adults in doing the same. As a Global Anchor within BraveHeart Women, a smooth transition as the Co-Director for The Charter for Compassion Women & Girls Sector emerged. A Board position for Chill of Sacramento was the next best step to consciously continue the work of Mercey Springs Foundation through a broader local platform. The continuous thread in Brenda’s life is the joyful opportunity to actively highlight the work of like-hearted people dedicated to improving life through collaborations locally and worldwide.

Brenda is the Founder of Union with the Heart, co-owner of The Radiant Health Center and author of The Foundation Trilogy: Soul Union Series. Through her work with Ananda Yoga and Meditation, sacred geometry, mandala, sound healing and various bodywork modalities, people learn how to listen to their bodies and create sacred union within all levels of them(cell)ves to live healthy and joyful lives.
