Leah Chyten has been a philosopher since youth. Her essay “Life as a Creative Unfoldment” won state recognition as the most original graduation essay in her state. Before attending college, she homesteaded in Maine, where she raised animals, vegetables, and children, and compiled a collection of songs, poetry, short stories and a novel. Her second novel was inspired by the painful complexities of the state of Israel. She is a psychotherapist, workshop leader, and spiritual teacher. She facilitates groups that explore all facets of our human experience. Leah currently lives in Portland Maine, and is continually inspired by the ocean.
