About

Centaur Courses LLC and Centaur Publishing LLC were created to offer inspiration, honest reflection, and emotional connection through books, live events, and storytelling. I’m Kristine Benevento, an inspirational author featured in four Chicken Soup for the Soul books and the creator of the Happy Gates Ranch children’s series, including A New Baby at Happy Gates Ranch and Buttercup the Brave, with a third book on the way.

Our signature event, A Journey from Grief Toward Joy, helps participants explore their own path forward after loss or transition. As a peer mentor and coach, I don’t claim to heal people or change their lives—but I do aim to create meaningful spaces where individuals can pause, reflect, and choose their next step with clarity and courage.

With deep respect for where people are on their journey, I welcome collaborations with businesses and organizations that value authenticity, growth, and human connection. Learn more at www.kristinebenevento.com.
