Biography Page

A spiritual "network" begins with one person reaching out to another. With this site I extend my hand to you. As each of us in turn extends our hand to the next, God's love flows and we are all nourished by it. Let us connect in a holy way with the people who are brought into our lives. God is good. May we determine to do His work as he leads us to do it. May God bless you and keep you.       - Lisa Bowman

Lisa Bowman made her living as a professional singer and stage
performer during her twenties. She grew up in a religious household,and her family enjoyed performing together in local
musical theatre in the San Francisco East Bay Area. When she was
nine, Lisa was chosen to dance with Russia's famed Bolshoi
Ballet during their San Francisco engagement. This inspired her
to dance with the Oakland Ballet Company while in high school,
along with doing frequent community musicals. At Occidental
College and at UCLA she continued performing, turning pro at the
age of 20. Her decade-long career included the First National
Company of "A Chorus Line;" a national tour as legendary song-
writer Sammy Cahn's soprano; and television appearances on shows
such as "Happy Days" and "Alien Nation."

In 1979 Lisa married television and film director Chuck Bowman.
She left the stage and was hired as a radio sports talk show
host on a major Los Angeles station. But with the birth of son
Stephen, Lisa had begun to feel a deep spiritual hunger, for
over the years she had drifted away from church, although never
away from God. She laughs that she kept finding herself kneeling
down in unexpected prayer in the bathroom, of all places! How-
ever intense these experiences were, she still felt that some-
thing was missing in her life: a formal commitment to God within
the framework of an organized religion. After repeated soul
searching, she committed to the Catholic Church in 2002.

Her purpose in life established, she now focuses on listening
to God's direction for her life. Her calling seems to be
uncovering the commonalities in the world's various religions
and allowing spiritually-oriented people to share in the vast
wealth of inspiration God provides to His children. Her writing,
her singing and her dancing are done in the name of Jesus and
for the glory of God the Father.

Although she is Christian, Lisa believes that God speaks in
many tongues to his children and so she therefore dedicates
this interfaith site to helping spread the multi-hued joy of
Divine Love.
