In her lifelong search for wholeness, Carolyn North has been a medieval scholar, a midwife in India, a Gospel singer and a writer of novels. She founded the food-recovery program DAILY BREAD, built the first rice-strawbale house in the United States and has created several Permaculture gardens in Northern California.

Currently, she is exploring ways in which improvisational singing, especially in ensemble, can be used for healing. She believes that whatever generates beauty and deep pleasure has healing power, and that if our intention is clear and loving enough, together we can save our species from self-destruction.

She is the author of eight books:
THE MUSICIANS AND THE SERVANTS: A Novel of India
SEVEN MOVEMENTS, ONE SONG: Memoir as Metaphor
THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIFETIME: Living Fully, Dying Consciously

For the Fringe Series:
CROP CIRCLES: Hoax or Happening?
SYNCHRONICITY: The Anatomy of Coincidence
DEATH: The Experience of a Lifetime

And the newly published:

ECSTATIC RELATIONS: A Memoir of Love
