Cheryl Kanner was born and reared in The Bronx, New York. In 1981, she was initiated into ActualDesign Lightwork, which amazed her, shifted her approach to life and opened her awareness to experiencing her own Lighted Beingness. After eventually settling in Laguna Beach, California, Cheryl continued ActualDesign Lightwork training. Very early on, Cheryl’s interest in the healing arts emerged. That led to decades of teaching and healing with Light. Her boundless enthusiasm for enlightenment infuses her teaching with students at all Levels of ActualDesign training. Cheryl’s core passion for healing and awakening inspires others to deepen their understanding of the journey to discover and express the unique design and purpose of their life.

Lawrence says “I resisted the call to teach for nearly as long before training to be a teacher.” He leads Initial Level classes in San Diego, California.

Ginny has illustrated six books and the ActualDesign-themed book, A Tale of One-Who-Seeks. Some of her greatest joy comes from being a mother and grandmother, and from being creative in all areas of life.

Barry Donovan says “I got lucky when I found ActualDesign Lightwork in the San Francisco Bay Area in the early 1980’s. My teachers helped me to sit still and meditate, something I had always wanted to do.” These decades later, Barry still practices Lightwork. Retired now, after a career in nursing, he leads Initial Level classes in the South Haven, Michigan area.
