After hearing Jesus voice guide her to A Course in Miracles in 2002, Laura Bedford is student and practitioner of Jesus’ teachings of true forgiveness and realizing we have a choice to live in the higher frequencies of peace and joy blessing everyone and the whole world, including ourselves with Christ’s vision or to live ego/fear/separation centricity.
From an early age, Laura was drawn to questions of origin, remembrance, and how as divine beings we could lose sight of our Oneness with our infinitely loving and infinitely loved divine nature and inherent connectivity with all life.
Through lived mystical experience and learning to recognize the difference between Divine Thoughts and distorted/non-divine thoughts (i.e., thoughts that lack love, fear and guilt-focused thought forms) the mind gently becomes enlightened to the Light/Christ Within.
She suggests our first and most natural language is love/light, and we have an inherent recognition of quiet love, peace and joy, which, of course, can also express in childlike exuberance!
The Worthiness Project grew out of devotion to Truth. Since 2007, Laura has offered private sessions, guided gatherings, meditation, inquiry, and contemplative support for those drawn to rest more deeply into what is true. She is the author of The Mix Up, completed a Pilgrimage Supporting Inner Peace across the USA, and has long been devoted to creating spaces where people can soften, listen inwardly, and reconnect with the love and wholeness that have never actually been lost.
Spiritual Support, Author, Minister, and Spiritual Mentor
Dr. Andy Schraegle, PhD is a clinical and forensic neuropsychologist, speaker, and co-founder of The Worthiness Project, and serves as Affiliate Faculty in the Department of Neurology at Dell Medical School at The University of Texas at Austin. His work is shaped by a longstanding devotion to understanding the meeting place between neuroscience, suffering, identity, and the human capacity for healing.
For much of his life, Andy has been drawn to the question of what is true. That search led through both science and spirituality, and over time became less about self-improvement and more about direct encounter, with reality, with suffering, and with the deeper ground of being beneath fear and striving.
The Worthiness Project grows out of that ongoing exploration. Andy’s work is rooted in the understanding that worth is not something to achieve, but something to remember. He is especially interested in how the nervous system learns fear, protection, and disconnection, and how experiences of safety, presence, and love can begin to restore a more grounded sense of wholeness. Through speaking, teaching, and reflective dialogue, he seeks to make these ideas accessible in ways that are both psychologically grounded and deeply human.
He continues to live this inquiry in daily life, as a husband, father, friend, and professional, and is grateful for every opportunity to support others in remembering what has always been here.
Dr. Andy’s work bridges neuroscience, psychology, and contemplative practice to help people reconnect with their innate sense of worth.
