MORE ABOUT BILL TORVUND - THE HEALER
Bill Torvund was born October 29, 1951, in Great Falls, Montana. His
family relocated to the South in 1952 where in 1954 at the age of three,
his spiritual/angelic experiences began. While praying in his back yard,
the sky directly above his house was suddenly filled with a brilliant
orb of light, which was also observed by neighbors for many hours.
Leaving the South for California in 1958, he developed a serious medical
condition from which he was not expected to survive. Deteriorating to a
near-death experience from which he miraculously recovered, his inner
angelic light body further developed his sensitivity to the angelic
realms.
He began his first public ministry at the Indian Hill Church of Christ
in 1962, where he taught adult bible class and gave sermons. All during
this time, he began his study of the classical sacred languages and
sacred traditions, which continues today. While in junior and senior
high school, he was involved with the development of religious study
classes and course curricula, and began his paracollegiate studies and
teaching assistantships in these areas on a continuing basis.
Moving with his family to Duluth, Minnesota, in the summer of 1969, he
began studying spiritual healing with the First Spiritualist Church of
Duluth and conducted his first public healing service on February 8,
1970. It was at this point that people began to request his services as
a healer, which he continued when he moved to Portland, Oregon in the
fall of that year.
He began his active pastoral career in Portland, Oregon through Grace
Bible Church and the Prince of Peace Chapel in 1970-72, and also served
as an assistant chaplain for the returning Vietnam veterans. In 1972 he
became an adjunct lecturer in parapsychology through Southern Oregon
State College in Ashland, Oregon, and then later had a similar position
in Pocatello, Idaho in coordination with Idaho State University in the
spring of 1975. It was also in Pocatello, Idaho that Abbot Torvund
established an affiliation with the Greek Orthodox Church, becoming a
cantor and assisting the priest in the realization of the Divine
Liturgy.
Returning to Portland, Oregon in the fall of 1977, he became the
coordinator of the holistic/spiritual healing facility of the Atlantis
Rising Educational Center until the fall of 1979. He then entered into
full-time spiritual healing practice, establishing his resident healing
ministry in Seattle, Washington, in the winter of 1979.
Abbot Torvund founded the Sanctuary of the On in February 1980 and began
to expand his healing and teaching ministry, establishing one of the
largest spiritual healing practices in the United States. Students and
clients came from all over the world and, as a result of the many
requests received for healing in other areas, embarked on a world
healing tour from 1987-1989.
Since 1989, he has been most active in his healing activities in the
following cities; Seattle, Washington; San Francisco, California;
Minneapolis, Minnesota; New York City, New York; Sedona, Arizona\'; and
Atlanta, Georgia
From such diverse places in the world as the slums of Manila to the
Pentagon in Washington, D.C., thousands of people have been graced by
the Holy Spirit through his ministry from all walks of life including
some of the most eminent spiritual masters and political leaders of this
century.
