Craig Marshall, The Monk
Born in the cultural melting pot of Los Angeles, Craig Marshall’s unique life story began with a stint as a child actor, and his acting experience and aptitude for meaningful storytelling led him to attend the University of Southern California Film School. Craig was never enchanted by the glitz and glamour of Hollywood however, and after graduating he realized that a spiritual calling continued to beckon him.
He has since dedicated much of his life to the study of mindfulness and meditation in his quest for higher consciousness. His journey of self-discovery began in an ashram, where he spent 35 years as a postulant monk in the Eastern yoga tradition. Following years of rigorous training and contemplation, Craig was ordained as a Swami, a revered Hindu spiritual guide, and given a name symbolizing his attainment of “bliss through friendship.” His time as a monk cemented Craig’s deep belief in the power of fellowship and personal connection, and he has continued to inspire people around the globe with his teachings on mindfulness, working with visionaries from Steve Jobs to the Dalai Lama.
Craig's extensive experience, combined with his witty approach, has opened the gateway to peace, tranquility, and happiness for countless people, and his teachings enrich our core structure of Learn, Unlearn, Relearn. His personal journey perfectly illustrates NewVolutions’ core belief that the path to becoming one’s best Self can begin anywhere, at any time, if you are ready to seek it. Craig’s valuable insights come from tens of thousands of hours spent in meditation, reflection and study, and we are honored to have him as a partner in our mission to help others live a life of profound joy and inner peace.
Margaret Gardiner - Program Creator
Graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a degree in Nutrition. As a dietitian in private practice, I started the company Nutrition: Food Becomes You. I am trained in active listening and am naturally inquisitive. I spent decades helping people write and achieve their health and wellness goals as I love to see individuals achieve success. I am known as a cheerleader because I help people cross the finish line. I currently live in Roatan, Honduras and am using holistic approaches in my work on the Island. I would rather skip than run and my favorite T-shirt says "GIVE This World Good Energy".

Ed Gallagher - President
Some of the best things in life arrive without an agenda.
Ed Gallagher spent four decades in corporate America before stepping away from a senior executive role to figure out what came next. What came next was a guided tour of Egypt — and a chance meeting with Craig Marshall, a world-renowned mindfulness teacher who had spent 35 years as a yoga monk. By most measures they had nothing in common. Craig apparently saw it differently. Their wives connected. They traveled to Japan. And what began as an informal mastermind between a small group of curious, like-minded people slowly became a master plan — and then a mission. That mission became NewVolutions. Ed brings executive leadership to the platform — the discipline, the systems thinking, and the understanding of what it takes to build something that lasts. He’ll tell you the most formative thing on his shelf is a ten-dollar set of the Harvard Classics he bought as a young man, and that Benjamin Franklin’s autobiography shaped his belief in conscious self-design long before he had a name for it. He’s still figuring out what comes next. That, he’ll tell you, is exactly the point.
