A Bahá'í Perspective: Maggie Calder

Born in Glasgow Scotland, href="https://www.maggiecalder.ca/" target="_blank"Maggie Calder grew up in Toronto Canada after her family moved there when she was about 7. She was brought up in a "motorcycle biker" family as she calls it. At about 12 she realized that she had to look at life in a different way, and at about 15 she left home, becoming a street kid. After a few years, she found out about Eckhart Tolle and realized that this could be someone that could help her spiritually, so she became his assistant and chef. While traveling the world with him, Maggie married and moved to Chicago. It was in Chicago that Maggie found the Bahai Faith. While in the throws of a divorce, Maggie went to Thailand for a 10-day holiday not realizing that it would become a 10-year life experience there. While in Thailand, Maggie meets master monk Bhasakornand and eventually becomes a nun-monk in his order and given the name Maytiwee. While there, she opened a secret sewing school that gave children who were in the Thai Sex Trade an alternative trade by sewing products for sale.
