Biography ...
Lindsay Wagner makes little distinction between her
life as an actress, advocate, mother, humanitarian or
author. What unites these various parts is a
commitment through her work and her personal life to
advancing human potential. Early in her career
this commitment was evident in her Emmy Award winning
portrayal of “The Bionic Woman”. Her use of media as a
way to communicate ideas to help people in their
personal process is demonstrated in so many of her
films.
Films
such as: "Shattered Dreams" on spousal abuse and
domestic violence starred in and co-Produced by Lindsay in
1991; "The Taking of Flight 847" on the root
complexities of terrorism (1988); "Evil In Clear River"
on the quiet rise of the Neo-Nazi movement in America
(1988); "Child's Cry" on child sexual abuse (1985); "I
Want To Live" on the moral dilemma regarding capital
punishment (1983); and "The Incredible Journey of Doctor
Meg Laurel" on the battle between the naturopathic and
allopathic healthcare (1979).
Off screen, Lindsay
continuously works both publicly and privately in
advocacy and public education. She shares the knowledge
and experiences, which have greatly impacted her life
and have profoundly enhanced her awe of our often
unrecognized human potential. Lindsay has co-authored
two books: a best-selling vegetarian lifestyle cookbook
entitled, The High Road to Health (Simon & Schuster) and
a book on acupressure, Lindsay Wagner's New Beauty: The
Acupressure Facelift (Simon & Schuster).
From 2003-2006 Lindsay
co-facilitated a support group for convicted batterers
and their families. In 2004 she co-founded
“Peacemakers Community”, a non-profit organization that
offers families and individuals more constructive and
peaceful ways of relating to each other and oneself in
order to help end the cycle of family violence. Her
work utilized a range of psychological techniques and Spiritual
encouragement.
For
the public, Lindsay has been offering experiential
“Quiet the Mind & Open the Heart” retreats and
workshops. These programs are designed to help us
access more deeply the peace and joy which is naturally
within us and to
realize how the conscious and unconscious concepts we
carry in the mind often have a life diminishing
influence on others and ourselves. For many, it can be
the catalyst needed to break through old or undesirable
patterns affecting our family dynamics, intimate
relationships, self-image, parenting, friendships and
our work/career.
“Every aspect of our lives will benefit from a shift in
perspective that ‘Quiets the Mind and Opens the
Heart’.“
