Writer, inspirational speaker and professional pilot.

         Craig Nicholson is a writer, inspirational speaker, professional pilot, and the author of this Balance for Wholesome Living website. He also has an interest in photography, sport, spirituality and personal growth.

         He was born in Johannesburg, South Africa, and graduated from High School in 1975. He spent 12 years in the South African Air Force as a pilot and flying instructor. During that time he pursued hobbies in photography, research and writing. He got interested in science and physics, then metaphysics and spirituality. In 1981 he found the teachings of the Ascended Masters (see the Glossary page for details). From then on he dedicated much of his free time to practicing and promoting these teachings, including from The Summit Lighthouse organization. This included two country-wide lecture tours.

         In 1987 he resigned from the Air Force with the rank of Major to pursue a civilian flying career. A year later he immigrated to Canada. He spent 8 years in Calgary, working in various areas including sales, management and flying helicopters, and became a Canadian citizen. He continued his volunteer work, serving on the Board of Directors of the Calgary Teaching Centre and presenting over three dozen public lectures, workshops and study groups. In 1993 he visited South Africa where he did another nation-wide lecture tour.

         In 1997 he moved to Vancouver where he continued his volunteer work, research and writing while working as an Air Ambulance/EMS pilot. In 2000 his research work culminated in the creation of this Balance for Wholesome Living website, which is an evolving project. (See also How This Site Started.) In December 2001 he moved to Toronto for career advancement, where he now lives with his wife and son.
