Cracking the Code of Calm
They say the longest journey begins with a single step—and for Elaine Marie Christine, that step was a leap of faith that led her to a life dedicated to transformation and peace. As a keynote speaker, author, and educator, her contributions have inspired global audiences through her signature program, the Peacemakers eCourse, designed to train peacemakers online and elevate the collective consciousness. With a Ph.D. in Computer Science and expertise in software risk management, Dr. Christine seamlessly blends her analytical background with a deep spiritual mission to bring Peace to Every Mind®.
Born March 4, 1957, Elaine’s journey has been one of extraordinary growth and transformation. With a love for learning and 20 years of experience in software engineering, her early career focused on continuous process improvement in risk management for large-scale software systems. As the author of the textbook Managing Risk: Methods for Software Systems Development, she significantly contributed to the technical community, consulting for aerospace corporations like Lockheed Martin and presenting her insights at international conferences.
However, after years of professional success, she was at a crossroads. Burnt out and seeking a more profound purpose, Elaine embarked on a deeply spiritual journey. In 1999, she trained as a Bikram Yoga instructor in Beverly Hills. It was a transformative experience that rejuvenated her and set the foundation for her future work in peace and mindfulness.
Her spiritual awakening, experienced as an illumination of conscience while walking on a beach in Florida in 2000, led her to create Yoga with Christine, a spiritual sandbox offering classes in yoga, meditation, tai chi, and reiki. These years of spiritual practice were marked by studying profound spiritual teachings such as A Course in Miracles and The Way of Mastery and leading retreats to sacred sites worldwide.
This period of transformation culminated in her life purpose: the 6-Step Peace Process, designed to guide individuals toward peace, both within themselves and in their world. This process forms the foundation of her internationally recognized trilogy, The Peace Prophecy, which launched global awareness of her peace-building methods. “The mind and body are tools for understanding who you are. You are here for a reason, and it’s up to you to find your purpose,” says Dr. Christine, emphasizing her belief that everyone has a unique role in creating a more peaceful world.
A dynamic leader, Dr. Christine is also the founder of the World Peace Telesummit, an annual event from 2015 to 2021 that brought together thought leaders and citizens to help celebrate the International Day of Peace. As host of the Peacemakers podcast and an Executive Contributor for Brainz Magazine, she continues to share her wisdom and insights, inspiring a global audience to embrace peace through mindfulness, education, and action.
Her legacy extends through her website, DrElaineChristine.com, where she promotes the Christine Community, and through her Peacemakers eCourse, where students are trained online in her methods. With a deep faith in God and a relentless commitment to her seven grandchildren, she is a woman on a mission to build a global network of peacemakers who will uplift humanity to a new Peace Consciousness.
Her personal life is just as vibrant. Married to Tom Gorsuch, Dr. Christine enjoys a balanced and healthy lifestyle, including yoga, dancing at the yacht club, swimming, and biking on weekends. This holistic approach to well-being reflects her belief in living a life of harmony—both with oneself and the universe.
Elaine’s story is one of faith, transformation, and unwavering dedication. Whether teaching risk management to the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco or leading spiritual adventures through religious sites, she embodies the essence of a true peacemaker. Her work is a testament to the power of inner transformation and how it can ripple out to create profound change in other people.
In 2021, Elaine was recognized for her literary contribution with an induction into Marquis Who’s Who in America, solidifying her legacy as a leader in peace and consciousness. Recently, she has been distinguished as a 2024 CREA Global Awards honoree, joining a prestigious list of visionary thought leaders making lasting impacts on the world.
For Elaine Marie Christine, the journey to peace is deeply personal yet universal. She enthusiastically exclaims, “Once you decide to take the next step, the universe conspires to help you!” Through her work, she offers each one of us the tools to take that step—toward peace, purpose, and a more harmonious life.
In a world that often feels fragmented and chaotic, Dr. Christine’s message is one of hope and possibility. She believes in the transformative power of individuals coming together to create peace, one mind at a time. As she continues to teach, write, and lead, her vision of a more peaceful world grows ever closer to reality.
