Author Bio

Maurice (AKA Dr Moe) has led seminars in the areas of Creativity, Self-Development, Spiritual & Psychological Awareness, Self-Expression, Passion and Purpose and Grief & Loss.

He is the author of The Voice - A Metaphor for Personal Development, Parables for a Modern Age and Parables on Grief and Loss. He has been a guest on numerous regional television and radio talk shows in support of his publications and seminar series.

In addition, Dr. Turmel is also a Performing Songwriter with over 120 songs and 4 demo CDs to his credit. In both his writing and music creations, Dr. Turmel enjoys bringing messages of Hope, Inspiration, and Self-Awareness to individuals and audiences eager for something Life-Affirming and Uplifting in their lives.

Creativity, he believes, is everyone’s potential, having learned this lesson himself as an Academic / Professional turned Artist.  “For some of us,” he acknowledges, “creativity comes along later in Life.  But what an opportunity to give of oneself, and further define that Self as we grow older.  What better legacy is there to pass on to our children and grandchildren, than ‘permission’ to create, to express that unique Self that is our gift from the Creator to be grown into our gift to the World.”
