Discover the powerful synergy between ancient wisdom, modern science, and social justice emerging in the world today.
In this live, inaugural session with James O’Dea, author of The Soul Awakening Prayer and The Conscious Activist and experienced peace activist, we will discover a powerful worldview emerging in global consciousness. A worldview linking the activist with the spiritual seeker. The mystic’s calling with social justice.
A new coherency is emerging between science, activism, and mysticism that promises to become a powerful ally in our endeavor to enact personal and social transformation.
Our virtual space—Nura Learning—was founded, in large part, with these principles in mind.
That the future of our species might lie somewhere in the union between social and spiritual consciousness.
That those of us who have a spiritual calling are often, equally, called to be active somehow. Neither mystic nor activist alone, but mystic-activist.
New principles, new modes of thinking, being, and relating to each other in the world are needed. As a learning space, we're dedicated to fostering these ideas and processes wherever we find them, and with some of the most experienced teachers who are out there in the field--meaning in the world—enacting them. Wisdom notes from the field.
This is why we're so excited to launch this new learning space in the company of James O'Dea, an international peacebuilder, activist, and mystic with decades of applied experience, and wisdom, to share with us.

A World breaking apart
It is easy to feel overwhelmed by our historical moment’s tremendous social upheaval. From local political chaos and ineptitude, to the impending climate crisis, to the economic and social inequalities crying out for justice–we are bombarded by the urgency of the present.
How do those of us with a spiritual calling—towards mystical, and subtle states of consciousness—respond? What can we do?
How do we enact the fire in our hearts to do right, and be done right, by a world that only seems to be breaking apart?
How do we, equally, answer the call echoing out from the depths of our souls?

The energies of Transformation
It is only by responding to the outer world with the subtle energies of the mystic that we can transform anger, trauma, and the psycho-spiritual shadow of our world—of ourselves—into alchemical gold. A release and healing transformation can take place as the seeker works to both dissolve their personal and collective (ancestral) trauma.
A mutual opening, and deep listening, can then take place between self and other without the risk of perpetuating our wounds on each other.
These energies, the kinds which we often wish to turn away from and are overwhelmed by, are the very same that can be transformed—working with them at a subtle level—into compassion, joy, and reconciliation.
It is, in other words, the conscious activist who can transmute the outer world by remaining engaged with it. This is the path of personal and social transformation, and the precursor to any true planetary civilization.

COOPERATION: THE SCIENCE OF PEACE
Fortunately, new science only confirms and what we are seeing in this new wisdom-based approach to inner and outer work. Collaboration, cooperation, and peaceful dialogue encouraging heart-centered listening are all beneficial to our health and well being.
For the conscious activist, this well-being extends beyond our species and into a new level of planetary symbiosis. We’re in it for the Earth.
Evolution is on the side of the conscious activist.
The mystic who remains engaged with and in the world is someone who leans into the future with the weight—the gravity—of love.
Join us for a very special 90 minutes with James O’Dea on August 9th. We invite you to participate, ask your questions during the live Q&A portion, and discover with James how to enact this exciting new level of coherency in your life for the benefit of all beings.
