Dr. Ron Holman, Speaker at the Fall 2011 Retreat

Dr. Ron Holman, President and CEO of the Holman Group, which provides mental health and human resource services to some 1500 organizations, has endured an arduous physical and spiritual journey to arrive at his present position in life.

He was caught up in the addictive lifestyle of the ‘60’s, finally breaking away and entering inpatient treatment for his addiction. During his 6 months of inpatient treatment, he realized that his life’s work was to help others who were on the same path of addiction turn their lives around. He joined AA, and after 15 years of sobriety, began a voyage of self-discovery. He received his PhD in psychology in 1983, and is a licensed MFT who has maintained his sobriety for over 35 years.

Ron began his worldwide search for knowledge as a result of his wife Linda’s illness; she had been diagnosed with stage 4 cirrhosis of the liver. During their wait for a liver transplant, they decided that Ron should begin a journey to obtain information from healers around the planet - medicine men and women, shamans, teachers, gurus, magicians and others – anyone who might be able to help him cure his wife, and due to his ministrations, his wife has remained stable for over 15 years.

Dr. Holman has studied Hindu, Christian, and Buddhist mysticism, and has found that they all lead to the same center, like spokes on a wheel leading to the hub. He has recently returned from a pilgrimage to India and has had many fascinating experiences to share.
