Born and raised in England, Angelyn traveled the world expecting to return to her homeland but there was another plan in store that led her to Vancouver, Canada and a corporate career. After two decades working in advertising and radio, then as a consultant in communications and interpersonal skills, she withdrew to a tree house on an island to re-assess her life. Three months later a profound shift had occurred, and she began her life's work. Part of this life's work was the birth of her beautiful daughter Kasara who is now is a partner in her businesses as well as on her way to Vet School.

In 1994, through a tragedy and a miracle, she was able to fulfill a lifetime dream and established Xenia Creative Development Centre, a magnificent 38-acre sanctuary on Bowen Island. Today Xenia enjoys an international reputation and is known for its peaceful loving qualities. Nestled amidst hundreds of acres of parkland and lakes, this haven is specially designed to invoke rest, renewal, and the awakening of natural gifts.

More recently Angelyn has become one of the top leaders in a bio-tech company that offers natural products to assist the aging process. Never in her wildest dreams did she imagine it would enhance her life so radically - her health, wealth and purpose. She was honoured with the prestigious Associate of the Year Award for 2008 and has taken the principles she has always used in her workshops and consulting business and applied them in this business. This business has set her free financially and provided funds to sustain her beautiful Sanctuary Xenia. For more informatiion about this company you can visit: www.angelyn.myunivera.com

Angelyn is pleased to be offering the Writers in Residence Program, since it is one of her joys and she is presently writing a book that will be released early next year.

Angelyn is a woman deeply committed to the path of conscious awakening through practical, everyday living. She is passionate about the process of transformation and the sharing of gifts and talents. Another of her lifelong passions is with horses and at Xenia you will find an assortment of delightful 4-legged friends who are very much a part of the culture of Xenia.
