Bill Newgent

Bill Newgent is a spiritual guide, and founder of Unlearning: Spirituality for the Real World. Drawing from Jungian psychology, nondual wisdom, and decades of lived experience, Bill walks alongside anyone willing to look within, supporting them as they break free from fear-based conditioning and remember the truth of who they are. Through his writing, coaching, and private community, he shares that lasting peace, worthiness, and love are not earned through achievement—but remembered through unlearning. A former broadcaster, entrepreneur, and longtime student and teacher of spiritual wisdom, Bill blends heart-centered presence with real-world insight to support those ready to awaken to their true nature. 📍 Specialties: Identity Unlearning • Inner Wisdom • Spiritual Awakening • Jungian Psychology • Conscious Leadership

Written from experience, not above it.

I'm Bill Newgent, author of Unlearning Myself: A Journey Back to Inner Wisdom and Peace. For more than three decades, I've explored questions of identity, fear, forgiveness, recovery, relationships, spirituality, and what it means to live with greater freedom.

My writing draws from that exploration—and from a life that hasn't always gone according to plan.
