Steven A. Ferrara

Spiritual Principles Teacher, Business Leader

Steven Ferrara has been a lifelong student seeking the inner pathway to peace and awakening while helping others on their journeys.

For more than two decades, he taught a course in universal and spiritual principles for the Concept-Therapy Institute as part of a nationally recognized teaching team with his father and sister.

Influenced by A Course in Miracles and the works of Eckhart Tolle, David Hawkins, and Michael Singer, Steven has developed a deep understanding of the healing potential of forgiveness and gratitude. His dedication to meditation, which started when he took a transcendental meditation class as a teenager, has helped him embrace the power in the present moment and to continue to know that inner peace.

As a business leader, Steven built a small family insurance business into a large financial services company, serving as CEO for twenty-five years before selling the company in 2020 to focus entirely on his spiritual journey. He was a sought-after speaker at national conferences, where he led countless workshops on business and life coaching.

The tragic loss of his twenty-three-year-old son, Christopher, and later the death of his beloved wife, Alie, profoundly challenged Steven’s spiritual understanding. This led him to explore grief and seek a new perspective on death and life, embarking on a journey toward the transformative healing power of gratitude and a pathway to inner peace.

Steven is devoted to his family with two daughters, Dani and Alex, their growing families, and his fiancée, Jeanne. He has always made family and his commitment to personal growth and awakening his utmost priority. He lives in Delray Beach, Florida, and enjoys staying active, riding motorcycles, and engaging in deep, meaningful conversations.

Grief to Gratitude

Embracing the Inner Pathway to Healing and Peace

How would you handle it when you’re forced to deal with the most excruciating moment of your life?

That was Steven Ferrara’s pressing question when his son, Christopher, died in a car accident at age twenty-three. After immense grieving and anger, Steven was devastated. He realized he needed to seek a more productive way of working through the loss of Chris—for himself as well as for his family.

He found daily journaling was therapeutic. At first, he shared only raw emotions, but eventually, Steven’s writing became a new mode of communicating with Chris, like figuring out a new language. One entry was a revelation. Steven asked, “What if I saw this from Chris’s viewpoint?”

Steven had always supported Chris in his endeavors while he was alive. “What if,” Steven asked, “I could see this experience as a continuing journey—and Chris as a spiritual partner?” Combing through those journals became the center of Grief to Gratitude, where he could clearly notice lessons he had taken to heart about searching for a more awakened life. Steven offers those vulnerable entries at the start of each chapter in Grief to Gratitude and asks these powerful questions:

  • What if we saw death with curiosity instead of fear?
  • What if we saw death from our loved one’s perspective instead of ours?
  • What if we considered “What can be?” instead of “What could have been?” after someone dies?
  • What if we could simply be grateful for the experience?

Steven finds a way from grief to gratitude—and invites readers to discover the same journey, whether they are struggling from the death of a loved one or some other heartbreaking loss or tragedy.
