Melissa C BurchMelissa Burch is a bestselling author, teacher and speaker who inspires men and women to explore and develop their own spiritual practices rooted in the teachings of the heroine's journey. A lifelong explorer of both the internal and external, Meliss's first career was as a filmmaker, producer and former war journalist for the BBC, CBS, and other networks. She was just in her twenties when she traveled with the mujahedeen, filmed an attack on a Soviet convoy, slept with an Afghan commander, and climbed 14,000 foot mountains in the Hindu Kush. These experiences and many more are featured in her first memoir, My Journey Through War and Peace: Explorations of a Young Filmmaker, Feminist and Spiritual Seeker. Melissa also spent many years as the executive producer of Women in Limbo Presents, a national public television series that featured edgy, raw and profoundly human stories about women's lives, and served as president of the New York Film/Video Council. In the next iteration of her own heroine's journey, Melissa spent several years as an internationally recognized leader in homeopathy, co-founded the Catalyst School of Homeopathy and produced and hosted one of the first successful radio shows on Voice America on homeopathy. In addition to her three-part memoir, Melissa is also the author of the bestseller The Four Methods of Journal Writing: Finding Yourself Through Memoir, Melissa, and her husband and her college-bound son recently completed a three month 16-city book tour, which they called The Heroine's Journey: Road Trip and Quest across the United States.
