BIO Betty J. Kovacs

Dr. Betty J. Kovacs, PhD, is a scholar, author, and visionary whose work explores the deep connection between myth, symbol, and the evolution of human consciousness. Educated at the University of California, Irvine, she taught Comparative Literature, Writing, and Mythology for over twenty-five years, guiding students into the symbolic language through which humanity has always expressed its search for meaning.

Her life’s journey was profoundly transformed by personal loss, leading to direct experiences of expanded consciousness and the realization that life is continuous and sacred. These revelations inspired her acclaimed books, The Miracle of Death: There Is Nothing But Life and Merchants of Light: The Consciousness That Is Changing the World the latter winner of the Nautilus Silver Book Award and The Scientific & Medical Network Book Prize.

A longtime leader with the Jung Society of Claremont and advisor to the Forever Family Foundation, Dr. Kovacs continues to share the ancient message of wholeness inviting a collective awakening to the cosmic consciousness that underlies all life.

Through her writing, speaking, and teaching, she reminds us that we are the living vessels of a timeless light now re-emerging to heal and transform our world.
