From the Desk of James O’Dea
Dear friend in peacemaking,
You and I live in a world of complexity and conflict, stretching from the personal to the global. And we also live in a time of accelerating, evolutionary change, with great breakthroughs in fields like science, sacred activism, spirituality, and peacemaking.
You and I were born for this time, born to be catalysts for growth, healers of old wounds, leaders of a brighter tomorrow.
You know that you are part of this wave of awakening and change. Together, we’re here to make a profound difference for the future of human civilization. But we all need a state-of-the-art map and guidebook for how to navigate the complexity and conflict and to play our unique, sacred role.
I’m writing to invite you to share with me in a profound journey to the frontiers of human knowledge and to the innermost depths of the human heart – a journey of love, forgiveness, insight, and great joy. It’s a journey into peacemaking, which is the single most important skill for being the change – whether in schools, your home, your workplace or your neighborhood.
We’re surrounded by festering wounds of conflict, misunderstanding, violence, and fear. And yet we have the opportunity to be healers, bridgebuilders, and peacemakers, which brings great benefits not only to the world but to our lives.
For the peacemaker does not just touch others – we touch our own innermost Self through the raw, naked power of the human heart. We shed layers of illusion and defense to live in a way that is lit by a powerful love. Life for the peacemaker is not “the easy way,” it is what native peoples call the “beauty way.”.
That’s why I’m offering this Course in The Path of the Peacemaker. It’s an offering to your heart AND the heart of the world, sharing the codes, strategies, and understandings that I’ve seen work in some of the worst conflicts around the world. These step-by-step strategies can transform the quality of your life and relationships.
If you are tired of estranged relatives, violent neighborhoods, or squabbling children, or you are tired of hearing of death and destruction on the evening news, this course will help you to no longer feel helpless in the face of conflict. I will help you learn how to transform tension into peace, discord into love, violence into understanding.
