Steve Ferrara has been a lifelong dedicated student of spirituality since his teenage years. He has committed his life to personal development and assisting others in their spiritual journeys. For two decades, he served as an instructor for the Concept Therapy Institute, which offers comprehensive courses on physical, mental, and spiritual education. His life has also been significantly influenced by the teachings of A Course in Miracles, Eckhart Tolle, David Hawkins, and Michael Singer. Through these studies, Steve has developed a profound understanding of consciousness, presence, meditation, and inner peace.

In his professional career, Steve Ferrara expanded a small family insurance business founded in his hometown of Newark, NJ, into a large financial services firm. He held the position of CEO for 25 years before selling the company in 2020 to dedicate himself entirely to his spiritual pursuits.

The tragic loss of his 23-year-old son, Christopher, followed by the passing of his wife, Alie, thoroughly challenged Steve’s spiritual understanding, prompting him to delve deeper into the questions of what and who are we, and seek greater clarity regarding death and life. Through this challenging period, he discovered the transformative and healing power of gratitude, ultimately finding a pathway to peace.

In his book, Grief to Gratitude: Finding the Inner Pathway to Healing and Peace, Steve shares his most personal journal entries, providing intimate and candid insights into his emotions, struggles, and revelations. His primary goal is to offer a clear pathway for others embarking on their own journeys of self-discovery, hoping to inspire them towards peace and gratitude even in the darkest times.

Steve is devoted to his family with two daughters, Dani and Alex, their growing families, and his fiancée, Jeanne. He has always made family and his commitment to personal growth and awakening his utmost priority. He lives in Delray Beach Fl, enjoys staying active, riding motorcycles, and engaging in deep, meaningful conversations.

Ravinol Chambers is an Irish-born monk turned movie maker, focusing on stories that cross boundaries and aim to connect us as humans, at the deepest level.

As a teenager in Dublin he wanted to be a stockbroker, but his search for deeper meaning was to take him east, on a very different journey.

After studying Psychology at university, he committed most of his twenties to a life of devotion, meditation and service, studying and living by the philosophy of the ancient Vedas, as a full-time Krishna monk.

During this time he spent a year living in India, studying the ancient books of wisdom alongside the culture and traditions that seek to support a life, lived in pursuit of higher ideals.

Ravinol and his British Indian wife have been happily married since 2006 and have two boys.

Making this film has challenged the gender roles in their own marriage and made them deeply consider the importance of bringing up their boys to be gender equitable, in a world that often sends messages to the contrary.

The film poses the question - how can we take tradition, culture and wisdom from the past, and bring it into the future, so it is practical and helpful?

'A Girl Can Touch The Sky' is Ravinol's debut feature-length documentary.
