Gregg Braden has been named a New Thought Walden Award honoree for 2019. The Walden Awards honor those who use empowering spiritual ideas and philosophies to change lives and make our planet a better place. The annual awards, now in their second year, are sponsored by a partnership of six of the country’s largest New Thought organizations.
Gregg was selected for the New Thought Wisdom category.
“The honorees include both well-known individuals and relatively unsung heroes alike, each of whom has made a valuable contribution to furthering the ideas at the core of New Thought,” says Unity Magazine® Editor Katy Koontz, a member of the awards selection committee. “Our goal with the Waldens is not only to honor these fine people and spotlight their notable accomplishments but also to inspire others to follow in their footsteps.”
Other honorees include Andrew Harvey, India Arie, Caroline Myss, and Iyanla Vanzant. For a full list of 2019 Walden Award honorees with brief bios, visit waldenawards.com.
