Rev. Tony Senf
Rev. Tony Senf is the founder of New Era Network, a transformational training organization. He began his first two years of serious Spiritual study as a Baptist seminary student, made the leap into metaphysics and is currently working on his Doctorate in that field of study. He has been studying A Course In Miracles since 1983 and his unique, energetic and somewhat humorous teaching style enhances his ability to convey the seemingly complicated teachings of A Course In Miracles in a very simple, understandable way. The responses and participation of those who have attended Rev. Tony’s classes has been nothing short of enthusiastic.
Rev. Tony’s formal education includes Behavioral Science, Psychology, Philosophy, Metaphysics, Theology, Ontology, Cosmetology, and Tai Chi. He has worked with experts in transformational training, psychology, counseling, science, and metaphysics to produce a new technology in gaining awareness of advanced forgiveness presented in a weekend intensive workshop...Beyond Forgiveness. This same foundation is being used to formulate other workshops, such as Creating Holy Relationships and Out of the MATRIX.
Rev. Tony retired as Spiritual Director of Unity Center of the Heights in Cleveland Heights, OH. Prior to becoming a Reverend, Tony's experience includes over 30 years of successful entrepreneurial experience in business development, marketing, advertising, sales, team building, training, recruiting, public speaking, customer service, project coordination, and vertically integrated compensation plan development. He focused on the fitness industry for twelve years as a consultant, trainer and Tai Chi instructor, and was the owner of a chain of diet - fitness and behavior modification centers. While there, Tony created an exercise program for which he wrote the music, produced and directed an exercise tape, then produced a TV pilot and was featured on the nationally syndicated TV program, PM Magazine. Tony also achieved a high level of success as owner/manager in the Internet, Travel, Telecom, and Environmental industries. In the military, Tony served as a U.S. Navy Nuclear Submarine Sonar Technician and Ship's Diver, where he earned a Polaris Patrol Pin with two stars, a Presidential Unit Citation and was the drug counselor for the submarine flotilla in which he served.
A major purpose in Rev. Tony's life is to teach people to live a fully expressed life, first of all by demonstrating it in his daily living and next through his study groups, workshops and intensives, which focus on personal responsibility and the realization of an individual’s full potential through an identification with their inherent limitless nature. Rev. Tony believes that "With a "little willingness" and vigilance, anyone can live a life they truly love, expressed with passion and full participation."

Chris Lauretig |
Chris Lauretig is a lifetime resident of Cleveland and a graduate of Cleveland Heights High School. After graduating from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio with a degree in Political Science and a Minor in Philosophy, Chris operated a Baskin Robbins franchise in Cleveland Heights for 8 years. In 1995, Chris returned to his alma mater and coached baseball at Cleveland Heights High School. He was the Junior Varsity coach for 4 years and the Head Varsity coach for 5 years. Upon the birth of his second child in 2004, Chris resigned from his coaching duties to spend more time with his family.
In 2001, Chris earned a teaching certificate as a Special Education Intervention Specialist from Cleveland State University. In the fall of 1999, Chris was hired at a Cleveland area school district as a Job Training Coordinator (JTC). As a part of his job, Chris was required to earn a vocational certificate, the Transition to Work Endorsement, from Kent State University. His duties included helping students with disabilities find community-based employment and coordinating the students’ training on those jobs through the use of job coaches. He also helped coordinate the students’ transition from school to the adult world, often through linking students and their families with adult service agencies for support.
In 2002 Chris was hired as the JTC to startup a vocational program that served high school students with typical intelligence, but a history of academic and social failure. In academic terminology, these students were identified with the special education designation of Emotional Disability (ED). The program has since added an academic component and turned into an all-day alternative high school.
No matter where Chris has worked his passion for personal growth has been apparent. This is most evident in the development of Out of the Matrix, which occurred as an outgrowth of his work with his students. He and Tony Senf collaborated to create Out of the Matrix as a program to facilitate the turnaround of these “Failing” students. You can hear about the results Out of the Matrix produces by visiting the testimonials page. Chris is often heard saying, “I would not be teaching this material if I did not consistently hear from our graduates that it was one of the most transformative experiences of their lives”.
