Miranda Macpherson

Born in Australia, Miranda Macpherson trained at the Western Australian Academy of Performing Arts before moving to the United Kingdom. At 26, asked by her teacher Rabbi Joseph Gelberman, she established the OneSpirit Interfaith Foundation in London; over the following decade she trained and ordained more than six hundred interfaith ministers and spiritual counsellors there. After a period of practice in the cave of Sri Ramana Maharshi in south India, she settled in 2005 in the San Francisco Bay Area and now lives in San Rafael.

An interfaith minister and spiritual teacher, she offers a feminine approach to surrender and nondual realisation, built around a practice she calls Ego Relaxation. She draws on the Diamond Approach, A Course in Miracles and Sri Ramana Maharshi, combining meditation, self-inquiry, devotion and mantra with psychological integration. She leads the Living Grace Global Sangha, offers home retreats on Zoom and in-person retreats in California, Europe and the Bahamas, and teaches courses regularly on The Shift Network. Her books are The Way of Grace and Boundless Love (first published under the name Miranda Holden); she also created the Cultivating Grace card deck and has recorded two albums of mantra.
