Maria Felipe is a Cuban-American speaker, author, and teacher of A Course in Miracles. For years she called herself a self-help junkie, cycling through workshops and books without finding lasting peace, until a mystical experience changed how she understood happiness and forgiveness.

She has since authored three books, including Live Your Happy and Spiritual Olympics, Baby!, and studied at the Pathways of Light seminary. Maria created the Happy Miracle Membership to give others a consistent, guided community for practicing the principles that changed her own life.
