Rob Dorgan has an MA in European History from the University of Cincinnati.
While working on his doctorate, the trajectory of Dorgan’s life path was drastically altered when he was introduced to the mystical arts of astrology and yoga. He left academia and, along with his partner, Steve Bolia,
moved to Colorado to study and work with Linda Goodman, the author of Linda Goodman’s Sun Signs, Love Signs, Star Signs, and Gooberz. He then mentored for many years with master astrologer and teacher of the Ancient
Wisdom, Alan Oken.

Dorgan began exploring yoga in the 1980s. He studied with many yoga teachers including Sianna Sherman, John Friend, and the preeminent Sally Kempton in meditation. Yoga, along with astrology, changed his life. Awakening the Mystic, Dorgan’s debut novel, incorporates his knowledge and insights into yoga, astrology and meditation. Awakening the Mystic is fiction, but it weaves in real possibilities for the future of our human species and Mother Earth.

Dorgan is a certified yoga educator, international retreat facilitator, meditation teacher/devotee, and a practicing
astrologer. He is currently working on a sequel to Awakening the Mystic, along with a memoir about his time as
Linda Goodman’s personal assistant and a collection of short stories based on his unique childhood with his
mom, Dottie.

Dorgan welcomes the opportunity to have live chats with reading groups about Awakening the Mystic. He is
also available to speak on the benefits of yoga and meditation, as well as teach group and corporate classes. He
also offers one-on-one meditation and astrology counseling sessions, which focus on using those tools to better
understand and love yourself and to uncover your inner council for a fuller life.
