Nancy Seifer and Martin Vieweg, coauthors of When the Soul Awakens, have been studying and practicing principles of the Ageless Wisdom for over thirty years. This book represents the harvest of their transformative journeys. Nancy Seifer has been an author since the late 1960s, when she became interested in ethnic diversity and the problems of working-class women in America. Her spiritual journey unfolded a decade later, leading to a personal exploration of the evolution of consciousness chronicled in her memoir, Russian Odyssey. Martin Vieweg has studied diverse metaphysical teachings and has written and lectured on topics ranging from reincarnation to meditation. He served in several spiritual organizations before becoming director of data management for a national non-profit organization.
