William Gammill was born in 19 and 49 at the age of eight, and has spent most of his adult life wandering around the world in awe and disbelief.

William has traveled extensively throughout Europe and North America, and has lived in Alaska, London, Wales, Nepal, and India where he spent one year as guest-lecturer at Bangalore University. Hitching and hiking around the world, William was jailed in Italy for having a vision/seizure on a public beach—not recommended in any country where you don’t speak the language, and again in New Mexico for expectorating on a policeman’s shoe. Twice. The first time by accident; the second after being thumped on the head and told not to. Searching for something he didn’t know the name of and wouldn’t recognize if he found it, William was triggering portals and stargates all over the planet—doorways into other dimensions of consciousness. Of course he didn’t know that’s what he was doing. At the time, he didn’t know much of anything. What he did know, was that too long in any one place and he got restless. That’s another way the Universe has of tricking us into the experiences we need to fulfill our soul, says William.

Eventually he settled down long enough to take a wife and two degrees; got a job, taught for awhile, even had a daughter—to her mother’s chagrin she seems to have inherited his disease, whatever that is: Too much lusting after Spirit, says William. It’s not a matter of how much is available or how much do you want, but how much are you willing to be responsible for.

William has been a journalist, an editor, a college professor, and a motivational speaker. As a poet, writer, and teacher of meditation for twenty years, William has won numerous awards and published in over 100 magazines around the country; he has guested on a number of talk-radio shows and was featured on Shirley MacLaine’s radio/talk website for two months; twice a Writing Fellow to the MacDowell Art Colony, William teaches transformation workshops and is currently director of The Writers Bridge, an organization committed to helping those who seek spiritual footing while exploring the universe within—healers of body, mind, and spirit.

When not on tour, William currently divides his time between Oklahoma and the Pacific Northwest. His hobbies are ontology and 3 on 3 basketball.
