John Harold Moore is a Spiritual Coach, Family Constellations Facilitator, Writer, Speaker, and Student &Teacher of A Course in Miracles. John has studied many different spiritual paths, but the one that speaks most directly to his heart is A Course in Miracles. A classmate from massage school introduced him to the Course in 2006, not coincidentally, right before one of the most challenging periods in his life. Because it helped him find peace during that difficult time, John is passionate about sharing these teachings to help others on their path of healing and wholeness.
To that end, John is also a pioneer in the practice of Family constellations, a powerful and highly effective healing modality that clears ancestral patterns and blocks that prevent us from the happy, healthy, prosperous lives we were meant to live. John graduated from the Family Constellations Institute of Miami in 2013 and has been speaking and facilitating workshops online and all over the U.S. ever since. He also proudly served on the Board of Directors of the Big Sky Retreat from 2015 to 2020, the last three years as President.
