The name of the school will change in 2011 to The School for Knowing - Japan. 

Gary has taught in Japan for seventeen years offering a range of lectures and workshops on a variety of spiritual subjects. His vision of offering an in-depth course study on the teachings of The Knowing Way was realized in 2007 when a year-long course was developed in four sections of study - Section One: Self-Knowledge/Self-Actualization; Section Two: The Knowing Mysteries; Section Three: Akashic Records and Section Four: Unity Healing. The first year's student body was kept to fewer than one hundred applicants - graduated July of 2008. The second First Year Students graduate October 2009. A waiting list of future students was established and the school will offer to its first graduates a year long Advanced study section beginning the fall of 2008. The third year of students will graduate in January 2011. A new Advanced Healing program will begin early 2011 and will be instructed by Mary Pat FitzGibbons.

Direct Business Experiences:

Gary worked for one of the nation's largest general retailers, Rich's Department Stores, located in Atlanta, Georgia first as a commercial illustrator, then Assistant Art Director and then Advertising Manager. After leaving Rich's in 1974, he then held the position of Vice President of Advertising/Marketing, with Designhouse International, an import company of fine European furniture. The company grew from one store in 1974, to a chain of stores in five states by 1985. The company's stock went public (IPO) that year and Designhouse sold in 1986. After Designhouse, Gary focused his skills as a furniture designer with a former business partner. Their collaborated designs have sold in North America, South America, Europe and Japan. He and his partner showed and sold leading edge furniture designs at the World Furniture Market in Copenhagen, Denmark. They were the most prolific furniture design team to invade the European furniture industry from the US.

Private Sector Consulting:

Bonnell has contractually worked with corporations, mid-sized companies and independent businessmen and women in North America, Europe and Japan on the subject of "Intuitive Business Strategies." He has also presented workshops for entrepreneurs entitled, "Incorporating Mystical Knowing in the Workplace." He has worked with numerous medical groups through clinics and hospitals on "Increasing Medical Intuition." He has consulted for corporate senior level teams, school boards, industry groups and select membership within all the major service organizations in North America. Gary has also consulted for Unity Church and Science of Mind groups across America.  

Other:

The "Flo" comic strip, featuring a delightfully out-of-step administrative assistant who takes the intuitive high road to a rather not-so-understanding boss, was developed for a California based financial corporation. The nationally published strip was developed and is written by actress, Claudia Gallion, and had been illustrated by Gary for 17 years. He retired as Flo's illustrator the summer of 2005. Gary is an accomplished artist, with one work entitled, "Ascension," hanging in a permanent collection at the Franciscan Monastery in Conyers, GA. Hundreds of visitors to the monastery have volunteered stories of the mystical experiences they have when viewing, or having their picture taken in front of Gary's black and white image of Jesus. He is a musician and voice-over artist. 

His accomplished daughters: His oldest daughter teaches school while nurturing her husband and rearing two youngsters. His youngest daughter has set aside her Special Education teaching assignments to undertake the fulltime job of being wife and home-schooling mother of four children. His daughters are married to wonderful and successful men who care greatly about this world in which we live. Their children are being raised in homes focused on Spiritual values and an active commitment to living life fully in community. Gary lives in North America with his incredible, widely talented and beautiful wife who manufactures an all natural line of cosmetics through her company, Vibrant Skin, Inc. Her very first oil painting - still life - was selected for a show.
