The XL Extraordinary Lives Award is presented to one of XL's 3000 Members from around the world that has

Dr Demartini is an admirable winner -- receiving a donation and media package to further the work of The
Demartini Institute. His scope of knowledge and experience is a culmination of 34 years of research and studies of
more than 28,000 texts into over 200 different disciplines ranging from psychology, philosophy, metaphysics,

movie, "The Secret" and is considered foremost in the field of philosophy, transformation and expanding global
consciousness.
The Demartini Institute is focused on personal and professional development with a vision of reaching and
empowering millions of students across every level of society throughout Africa. The Institute has a strong focus on
expanding Dr Demartini's work into the communities which is being achieved with sponsored seats on his seminars
as well as pro-bono workshops and talks presented in the communities.
The two award runners-up are Getrude Matshe from New Zealand and Bruce Muzik from the United Kingdom.
Getrude Matshe is a speaker, author and philanthropist -- born and raised in Zimbabwe and now living in
