BIOGRAPHY
Bernie Saunders, founder of the Center for Living Art believes that life is truly a work of art. He is a professional photographer and author of his signature personal enrichment program, Boundless Renewal: Embrace the Power of Reflection and co-author of Ten Steps to a Learning Organization. He is a highly regarded speaker, with over thirty years of experience working in the field of human development. He earned degrees in Business Management from St. Joseph’s College and a master's of applied theology (MAT) from the Graduate Theological Union, Berkeley. However, his most profound education came from playing in the woods as a child, experimenting with the camera his father gave him as a young teen, planting rice in the Philippines, working with young adult drug addicts, raising two sons, and guiding community and business leaders to become “servant leaders.” He lives near Minneapolis with his artist wife Constance.

WHAT IS IT THAT GETS YOU UP IN THE MORNING?
“What gets me going most mornings is the expectancy of the unexpectedness that I will be treated to during the day. The childlike thrill of discovering a photograph to take, the 'eureka' a client has, the invitation to spend an evening with cancer patients, hearing from an old Peace Corps. buddy after 30 years, and the magic of a full moon shining on the lake."
