Alan Krema, a Wisdom community participant residing in the Chicago area, has been an active spiritual explorer for many years. In 2003, he and his wife Barb opened their home to facilitate a centering prayer group. On the list in the Contemplative Outreach database, a student of the Nine Gates Mystery School who knew Cynthia, had resourced Alan and Barb and began to attend their prayer group. Alan had already read The Wisdom Jesus, and “had a vague sense that Cynthia’s teaching was at a level different from other teachers” he had been reading.
