INEI-RE LEADERSHIP TEAM

Kathy (Bandhu) Morter

Bandhu (Sanskrit for “friend” or “kin”) has unerringly been led to study with Elle since the first moment she heard her speak. What began as an inner prompting continues to unfold as a part in the greatest show on earth: learning to show up as Love, always.

Her enthusiasm for experiencing others’ true nature, and her gift for bringing harmony, fueled her 25-year career as a service-leader with the US Forest Service. She continues to bring her passion for inspiring respectful dialogue and practical altruism to many community ventures. She is an outspoken and engaged advocate for synergistic democracy.

Bandhu has served as president of INEI-RE’s board of directors since 2004.

Sor'a Garrett

Sor’a has been one of Elle’s students since 1995, after her creative visionary and highly purposeful nature guided her to step more firmly onto the path of Unity… even though she had no idea that was what she was doing at the time! After several years of allowing these teachings to stabilize and enrich her personal life, Sor’a became part of the INEI-RE leadership team. She has served as president and executive director, and is currently focusing her service toward creating inspirational products & books from these teachings.

Sor’a is a serial creator, accessing her visionary & integrative skills to inspire and ignite individual and collective potential. Her website: The Service Connection, a shared leadership and social giving program for women, offers an experience of unity-based leadership while creating solutions to real world issues.

Of her work within this community, Sor'a reflects, “Here, I’ve found what I didn’t even know I was looking for…acceptance of my true nature, an abiding Love that is beyond anything I’ve ever known, deep understanding of how important it is for each of us to show up in our fullness. I am so grateful to be serving as a catalyst for Elle’s teachings to reach others.”

Her work with Elle continues to provide breakthroughs that inspire her writing and nourish her work within the community and organizations.

Gayle is a former senior manager with two Fortune 500 companies, United Parcel Service and Household Financial. She is the founder of Pure Possibility, a coaching and mentoring program that works with individuals, and conducts meditation and Oneness training within the Oregon State Corrections system.

In keeping with the Unity teachings of Inei-Re, Workplace Evolution provides integrated solutions that benefit the organization, its individuals, and society as a whole.

Tsilla Brafman

"My own quest for spiritual awareness emanates from the biblical instruction I received as a child growing up in Israel. With no television around, the bible stories became our way of learning about the world. The characters, their conflicts, the way they related to others, their faith, their doubts—these all mirrored what I believed each one of us was feeling in different ways.

"Torah teachings inspired me to delve into modern law and I become an attorney. Upon arriving to the United States, over 20 years ago, I gladly accepted a teaching position at the local day school. Within a month, I realized that teaching was my calling in life and immediately started my MA in Education program, which I completed 18 months later. Judaism allowed me the opportunity to engage in spiritual work with my students. When a child’s soul is being recognized, when it is being nurtured, then the opportunity for personal growth is maximized."

Michael Friend

"All my life -- even at an early age -- I felt there was more to who we are. Elle is the first teacher I have ever known who could take me to a fuller understanding and a clearer, more centered realization of Source. "

.Michael has been a writer, filmmaker, journalist and teacher. He has a BS in Journalism and an MS in Education. In addition to serving on the leadership team as secretary/treasurer, he is also assistant director of INEI-RE.

"Through Elle I have come to a better understanding that support of this work and the growth of spirit in everyone is the answer I have been seeking."

Pauli Halstead

"I met Elle in Santa Fe in the spring of 2006. I knew that I had encountered Love. It took me but a short year to decide to move to HeartGate and totally immerse myself in the Word as it comes through Elle.

My professional career has been one of a restaurant owner from 1975 to 1980 — Pauli's Cafe, in San Francisco, and then as the owner of The Best of Everything Catering Company in the Napa Valley from 1980 -2004. My entire life has been about creating wonderful food and that love has not changed, the latest undertaking being the writing of Cuisine for Whole Health. (Click on the link below.) "
