ABOUT BARBARA BREWSTERAMERICAN AUTHOR, BARBARA BREWSTER, embodies a wealth of experience with challenge and change. She has studied gymnastics in Denmark, majored in Russian, hostessed a restaurant in Afghanistan, hitchhiked across continents, and emmigrated to Australia. She shares her long-time love affair with Australia in her acclaimed book, Down Under All Over. Her most challenging adventure, however, began in 1984 when she was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Barbara's courage and commitment to explore and risk personal change is chronicled in her deeply honest Journey to Wholeness. Her recovery and her conviction that we have choice, regardless of the issue, has inspired many. Barbara is an actor and counsellor, a writing, meditation and ESL teacher, and a spontaneity addict. As part of her program to lighten up, she became a clown and toured Russian hospitals and orphanages with clown/MD Patch Adams who believes laughter is the best medicine. In studying comedy, Barbara perceived that the principles of spontaneity and of living wholelly are the same, and she now presents Power of Play (POP!) and “Rambunctious Writing” workshops to those interested in expanding their sparkle and choices, peace of mind, health and creativity. Since 1998, Barbara has been associated with Ontos Health Retreat (near Buchan, Victoria) as their Melbourne-based Community Representative. An internationally recognized author and speaker, Barbara encourages people to look afresh at their challenging circumstances and to reconceive their options. Barbara now divides her time between Buderim in Queensland, Australia and Bali. She is a supporter of the new Campuhan College in Bali's creative centre of Ubud.
