Treasurer – – Vicki Hicks
Park Address: 43 Clubhouse Rd.
Aurael was born in Bozeman Montana in 1950. Over her school years her family lived in CA, AZ, CO, FL and PA as her father’s work in the space industry required frequent relocations. She attended 13 schools in 12 years!
Aurael’s first position in finance was at Montgomery County Emergency Service, a small hospital located in Norristown, PA. She lived in Pennsylvania for 27 years and also worked at Common Ground Mediation Service in Bethlehem, PA, and served on the Board of Directors of the American Red Cross. She also served as Administrative Assistant to the Executive Director of the Pearl S. Buck Foundation in Bucks County, PA, and the Director of Development at the Kripalu Yoga Ashram in Sumneytown, PA, where she also became a yoga teacher and massage therapist. She moved to Galisteo, New Mexico in 1992 where she worked internationally as a facilitator of therapeutic sessions with The Light Institute and earned a Master of Divinity degree.
Aurael began her career as a life insurance agent in 2002 and became fascinated by The Infinite Banking Concept and her mentor, R Nelson Nash, who taught her how to utilize life insurance as a saving and financing vehicle. She built a financial services business, called Life Savers, and has been in business for 22 years, and although Aurael is semi-retired she still helps her 200 clients manage their policies.
While RVing cross-country, Aurael discovered Pendaries in the summer of 2022 and planned on spending winters in Tucson, AZ and summers here. She purchased the lot at 43 Clubhouse Drive in October 2022, left to spend the summer in Tucson and returned to Pendaries in May of 2023. It didn’t take long for the Spirit of Pendaries’ Magical Forest to captivate her and for Aurael to feel that she was finally at home and never wanted to leave. She sold her motorhome and bought a park model and has been actively participating in the Pendaries community ever since. To Aurael, living in Pendaries is as close to being in Heaven as she can possibly imagine!
