What Students Say About
The Peace Ambassador Training,
Led by James O'Dea (starts Oct. 12)

“I had put my legal practice in the back burner for years but the Peace Ambassador Program showed me a way to do my legal work in an evolutionary way, a legal practice that heals and makes whole. The Program gives more than just food for the mind and soul; it provides you with real and practical tools to bring out your work into the world.”
Paula Z. Aberasturi, Makati, Philippines

“If we want to become Citizens of the World this is the course to participate in! Extremely inspiring, eye-opening, cutting-edge thinkers, filled with rich tools - and yes, it leaves you with hope that we can have a powerful beautiful future.”

“The Peace Ambassador Program is a powerful and profound journey. This process can truly create a coherent and embodied approach to building Peace. Here you will discover a community in the truest sense of the word. This community’s focus is on the myriad ways for Peace to be realised in the world. The Peace Ambassador Program provides an excellent way forward.”
Chip McFarlane, Sydney, Australia

“For years, I looked for a comprehensive program in peacemaking - one that placed as much importance on the cultivation and sustaining of inner peace as it did on conflict resolution, peace building models and other components of creating a global culture of peace. When I saw the Peace Ambassador Program curriculum outline, my heart, mind and spirit all lit up! Lead teacher James O’Dea beautifully models how being a peace ambassador IS a lighting up of those three aspects of being human. He is the epitome of a peace catalyst; by his very presence on the calls and throughout the course, the very best in ourselves was called forth.”
Lynda Terry, Yellow Springs, OH

“The Ambassador Program is holistic and empowering! I had no idea there were so many other people looking for a blueprint with tools, processes, resources, and support to help us build new systems for a peaceful world, in however we can, within our individual and collective communities.”
PJ Hirabayashi, San Jose, CA,

“This course has given me an increased positive belief in the future of our world. The speakers have touched my heart with their personal stories, knowledge, bravery, and compassion. Meeting like-minded people who shared their ideas, challenges, and knowledge made a wonderful community that I enjoyed immensely.”
Vanessa Errol, Australia

“The Shift Network is on a wave of the future, where peace and consciousness are taking their place as consensus values in our larger society. Peace is no longer an isolated avocation but a goal of the World Dream where community meets the individual peacemaker.”
Fred Arment, Executive Director, International Cities of Peace

We are clearly in a time of the most accelerated changes in history. The skills of defusing and transforming conflict and healing social wounds are at the core of whether we can create a healthy, vibrant, peaceful and sustainable world.

The dream of peace on planet earth IS possible, and you CAN make a profound difference and truly be part of the change our planet needs.

And you can learn to do so effectively by stepping into a new identity as a Peace Ambassador and gaining the most potent peacebuilding tools, skills and strategies with world-renowned social healer James O’Dea.

During this 75-minute call, James will share a powerful mixture of spiritual technologies, social sciences, and insights into our current global condition to show how you can begin to be an ambassador of peace in your family, your neighborhood, your job and in our world.

You’ll learn simple practices to:

  • Commune with the energy of the Universe: Learn how to engage all forms of energy whether they appear to be friendly, hostile or seductive and manifest a truly evolutionary impulse for peace.
  • Lead from the center and ground of being: Learn how to hold space for other truths while fully incarnating your own soul power, emotional and intellectual insight and wisdom as a peacemaker.
  • Speak from essence and to essence: Skillfully discern shadow from substance so that you always illuminate higher ground where peace can flourish.
  • Apply key principles for social healing in your community.

James O’Dea has been at the forefront of worldwide peacebuilding, engaging in social healing dialogues with Israelis and Palestinians, working with Rwandan genocide survivors and learning the subtler arts of peace from the Kogi people of Colombia. He has also served as Director of Amnesty International DC and president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences and is of the wisest and best-trained peace ambassadors on the planet.

Join us for this 75-minute dialogue, and you’ll emerge with a deeper understanding of the collective change processes underway. You’ll also hear about The Shift Network’s new Peace Ambassador Training, beginning October 12th, as well as the plans for a global Summer of Peace in 2012.

James and Stephen will share a roadmap for how The Shift Network will be collaborating with hundreds of groups and millions of individuals - hopefully including you - to help activate a time of profound planetary shifting.

Join us for an important call on the frontline of peace and evolutionary change!
