James O’Dea – Peace Ambassador Training

Learn from the world’s top peace visionaries, and become an impassioned ambassador for inner and outer peace.

We are clearly at an important (and precarious) crossroads in our personal and collective evolution, with war and violence so often in the news.

The skills of diffusing and transforming conflict and healing social wounds are at the core of whether we’ll create a healthy, vibrant, peaceful and sustainable world, or go the way of the dinosaurs as we squander more resources on destructive polarization.

Our culture’s dysfunction shows up with bullied children, abusive families, fearful schools, broken marriages, toxic work environments and war-like politics.

The simple truth is that we have all been raised in a culture of violence, with mayhem on the news, carnage in our movies, and shocking statistics on abuse, sexual trafficking, and more.

Considering how important it is for us to learn how to constructively and peacefully handle our differences, it’s shocking that so few of us learn the skills for how to do so.

We suspect this situation hurts your heart as much as it does our own. If you are like us, you know, deep down, that it doesn’t have to be this way, that we can truly learn to live peacefully and joyfully with each other, creating harmonious families, schools, communities and even political cultures.

That IS our future, if enough of us dare to create it.

And that is why we have created the Peace Ambassador Training, which has been called the best peacemaking training available and now is reaching a new level of excellence with this, our eighth cycle.

By joining, you become part of a conscious, healing, and inspiring community of over 900 Peace Ambassadors around the world – some of the brightest beings you’ll ever meet!

These are people, who, like you, are committed to creating a world without war and violence.

The leaders and participants will help you open your heart, clear your own history with destructive conflict, expand your paradigm, and help you become a beacon of peace in the world.

You’ll be inspired by their stories and learn from their examples, while adding to a next generation peace movement that is grounded in deep inner change and committed to outer action.

Listen to The Shift Network’s founder Stephen Dinan share what it means to become a Peace Ambassador:

With the right training and tools you CAN make a profound difference on this planet and truly contribute to the change that our world so urgently needs.

With the guidance of our world-renowned faculty, you will learn the most essential insights and practices of 21 of our planet’s most respected peacebuilders.

You will receive the cutting-edge ideas, resources and strategies to become an authentic ambassador of peace and healing in your own life and in our world.

You will, more than anything, know HOW to make a difference rather than just wish or hope for healing.

When we talk about becoming a “peacebuilder,” we don’t mean becoming some kind of soft-spoken daydreamer.

We are talking about how you can empower yourself to become an embodiment of the awakened presence of peace, a protector of the innocent, and a heart-based “warrior” of genuine love, truth and justice for one and all.

As the wise Native American leader Sitting Bull once said:

“Warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights….The warrior is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who cannot provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.”

If you are ready to take a stand for peace – both personally and collectively – and become an emissary for a deeper kind of healing in our world, our brilliant faculty will show you how.

In this 16-session advanced training, you’ll be guided step-by-step along the evolutionary continuum, from cultivating genuine inner peace to working with others to create lasting peace internationally.

This transformational program for creating peace on all levels flows from the vision and passion of James O’Dea, the former President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and the former Director of Amnesty International in Washington, DC.

James designed the program based on his unique perspective of understanding the emerging “science of peace” and his depth and breadth of practical field experience in addressing human challenges and suffering of all kinds.

For health and schedule reasons, James has asked Director of Peace Philip Hellmich and Emily Hine to take the Peace Ambassador Training to the next levels while drawing upon the best of his previous teachings, which will be shared via recording during some of the live classes.

A profound journey into your deepest self, in which you can heal old wounds, remove barriers to trust, and cultivate powerful friendships with other change agents.

The transformation that comes from peacebuilding can also liberate your heart, mind and soul from negative patterns, resistance and fear, allowing you to become a more radiant and healing light in the world.

This Training is for you if…

You long to be a true peacebuilder during this pivotal time in history – but know you could be more effective if you had the right skills, practices and community support.
You want to help heal personal and collective wounds – and are open to learning new ways to do it.
You strive to communicate in a healthy way that brings people, families and organizations together to work and collaborate on solutions more effectively.
You hunger for a comprehensive peacebuilding blueprint that gives you the essential skill set and tools of a social leader and healer.
You want to learn and develop techniques for cultivating inner peace and spaciousness, removing the walls around your own heart, so you can come to a genuine forgiveness and healing around past wounds and teach others to do the same.
You see that there is an amazing opportunity for positive change in the world – and you want to learn from the most inspiring leaders and visionaries about how to play your highest role.

Watch this short video of Peace Ambassador graduate Erik Kasum describe how the Training changed his life, helping him create a national peace conference and think tank on peace:

What You Will Learn: Course Overview

The Training will offer you an immersive experience in building skills with today’s top peace leaders and is divided into five pillars:

Deep Personal Peace
Healing Personal and Collective Wounds
Communicating Peace
Mastering Systems Change
Activating and Organizing for Peace

For the first four Pillars of Peacebuilding, we will hear the best of James O’Dea’s teachings in the first sessions drawing upon insights and practical tools from his bestselling books Cultivating Peace and The Conscious Activist: Where Activism Meets Mysticism.

The following two sessions of each pillar will feature two core faculty on the methodologies and peace practices they use in their work. These sessions are a combination of live teaching and the very best core faculty interviews from previous Peace Ambassador Trainings.

Philip Hellmich and/or Emily Hine will facilitate all the calls and teach several classes. They will bring the material to life by weaving and integrating these teachings into a cohesive map for peacebuilding, from the personal to the planetary, throughout the training.

You’ll also have practices, readings, and assignments that deepen your experience of the material and put you into close collaboration with other training members from around the world.

Pillar 1: Cultivating Deep Personal Peace

These sessions will focus on helping you cultivate the psychological, emotional and spiritual dimensions of peace as the great foundation for deep engagement in the world.

Session 1: Peace and Freedom from the Inside Out
(Recorded January 14)
Faculty: James O’Dea (full bio)

James will open the training with an inspiring session about what it means to be a Peace Ambassador in today’s world. He invites us to take responsibility for cultivating inner peace while working in the world from a place of deep integrity. As James says, “The peacebuilder must develop an impressive skillfulness in offering solutions, avoiding the blame game, and playing a mediating role between perspectives that are locked inside self-limiting definitions.”

At the same time, the Peace Ambassador does not take him/herself too seriously. “A world without laughter would not be a safe or peaceful world,” James says. For instance, “the fundamentalists are not having fun!”

In this session, you will:

Take careful inventory of your inner moral maps, belief systems and psychological perspectives and examine how they influence your relationship with the outer and vice versa.
Identify the obstacles that prevent you from releasing your own essential qualities, talents and capacities

Session 4: Ending the Transmissions of Wounds
(Recorded February 4)
Faculty: James O’Dea (full bio)
