Maurice Turmel PhD has been writing and speaking on the subjects of Self-Help, Personal Growth, Creativity and Spiritual Connection for over 25 years. His need to share began in earnest when he discovered for himself the power of actualizing Self, opening to Soul and connecting to the Divine.
For 42 years now Maurice has been engaged in his own journey of self-discovery. His hunger for understanding began at age 20 when he first read "The Power of Positive Thinking" by Norman Vincent Peale.
Since that time he has consumed over nearly 1,000 self-help and personal growth books and attended many of the personal development seminars available during the 70s, 80s, and 90s. He's had himself poked, prodded, hypnotized and motivated by countless experts claiming to have the best therapy or process available at the time.
With over 40 years of experience in Self-Help, Personal Growth and Academic Psychology Maurice brings to every speaking engagement a customized approach to teaching about growth, connecting with Source and expressing Creativity that will blend well with Your Audience.
Dr. Turmel is prepared to travel anywhere in North America to bring his brand of "Connecting You to Your Source" and associated topics.

For we would not adventure dare / And break the rules we oft prepare / So we can stay in safety's lair / And not fall prey to our despair
But children say "Oh no we can't / Find our way in this old chant / Give us the new, and then prepare / To give way please, and let us dare!"
(Excerpted from "Parables for a Modern Age" by Maurice Turmel PhD- 2003)
