Please join us for a special dialogue between James O'Dea and Nipun Mehta -- both of whom have dedicated their lives to service as conscious activists as well as active agents for the awakening of consciousness. James will open with an invocation that will mirror the arc of their conversation -- "soul awakening, heart opening, light shining, love flowing, wounds dissolving, peace radiating." Given his own journey with front-line activism in violent conflict zones (Amnesty International), to running a foundation that supports impactful service (Seva Foundation), to then leading an institute aiming to bridge science and spirituality, James' dialogue with Nipun will explore the inevitable flow of inner transformation into external service and change, touching upon the integration of inner and outer work. Both speakers are story-tellers, with profound personal stories and encounters with saints and mystics across numerous traditions.  Both an activist and a mystic, James O'Dea is a former President of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, Washington office director of Amnesty International, and CEO of the Seva Foundation. He worked with the Middle East Council of Churches in Beirut during a time of war and massacre and lived in Turkey for five years during civil upheaval and coup d’etat.  He has taught peacebuilding to over a thousand students in 30 countries. He has also conducted frontline social healing dialogues around the world. A mentor of emerging leaders, James is an Honorary Fellow of the Laszlo New Paradigm Institute. He is also a member of The Evolutionary Leaders group and on the Advisory Board of The Peace Alliance and Kosmos Journal. James is author of several books, including The Conscious Activist, Cultivating Peace, Soul Awakening Practice (June 2017), and Creative Stress. Nipun Mehta is the founder of ServiceSpace, a global community at the intersection of technology, volunteerism and gift-economy. Most recently, Nipun has designed, created, and gifted a new pod technology to support collective learning and intelligence, awakening of spirit, and emergence. ServiceSpace's pandemic response has showcased the unique beauty of its global ecosystem. Nipun has catalyzed a global social movement of community builders grounded in their localities, connected by unique non-commercial, labor-of-love technology, and rooted in practices for cultivating love, nonviolence, selfless service, and compassion. The ecosystem has reached millions, attracted thousands of volunteers, and mushroomed into numerous community-based service projects as well as inspiring content portals. ServiceSpace harnesses the collective power of external networks and our deep, inner resources and interconnectedness to create a distributed social movement founded on small, local individual acts of kindness, generosity and service that ignite shifts in individual and collective consciousness. Nipun was honored as an "unsung hero of compassion" by the Dalai Lama, not long before former U.S. President Obama appointed him to a council for addressing poverty and inequality in the US. Yet the core of what strikes anyone who meets him is the way his life is an attempt to bring smiles in the world and silence in his heart: “I want to live simply, love purely, and give fearlessly. That's me.”

Cheryl Esposito welcomes James O’Dea, international peace activist and author. He is the former Washington D.C. Office Director of Amnesty International. He is Co-Director of the Social Healing Project, and extended faculty and past president of the Institute of Noetic Sciences. His newest book has just been released: Cultivating Peace: Becoming a 21st-Century Peace Ambassador. “We are in an evolution of consciousness and the time to activate our will- NOT our willfulness- is now.” According to James O’Dea, the dance of life includes the courage to be who you are; having humility to see what has been put in us to do, and living our true qualities and capacities. His path is that of peacemaker. What is yours? Join Cheryl Esposito & James O’Dea to discern your own capacities in the evolution of consciousness.

“Peace may seem an elusive concept in a world with horrific violence, brutal conflict, and exploitation, yet never in humanity’s history has such a comprehensive map of peace emerged as is now evident… What we call a culture of peace comes from a whole-systems perspective, which sees all things as interconnected and influencing each other. We are increasingly aware of our interconnectedness and interdependence, and we act accordingly.” These are the words of James O’Dea from the book, Our Moment of Choice. Today, we are going to explore how YOU can build a global community and create a culture of peace with Dr. Kurt Johnson and Rev. Deborah Moldow.

Date: ​October 9, 2014 Featuring: Kelly McCutcheon Adams, LICSW, Director, Institute for Healthcare Improvement Anna Roth, RN, MS, MPH, CEO, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center & Health Centers Teresa Pasquini, Mom/Advocate, Chair, Behavioral Healthcare Partnership, Contra Costa Regional Medical Center and Health Centers James F. O’Dea, PhD, MBA, Regional Director, Hartford Healthcare Behavioral Health Network Richard Wohl, MSW, MBA, President, Princeton House Behavioral Health; Senior Vice President, Princeton Healthcare System With all the discussion going on about the integration of behavioral health with primary care in the outpatient setting, we don’t want to ignore what’s happening in the hospital for patients with psychiatric conditions and needs. Safety has been one of the major issues identified in recent years… safety for individuals in crisis, for the staff caring for them, and for family members. Those who’ve identified effective improvements are often the patients themselves. We ventured into the acute care setting for this WIHI. IHI’s Kelly McCutcheon Adams set the scene for a terrific panel of guests who are working hard on partnering with patients and families to improve their overall experience in the hospital; the prevention of patient harm and staff injuries; the redesign of physical environments; better management of medications; and heading off crises in the making.    Contra Costa’s Anna Roth and parent Teresa Pasquini shared a powerful story about collaboration, starting with transforming the experience of the psychiatric emergency. Richard Wohl from Princeton House Behavioral Health shared what goes into creating a state of the art, safe, inpatient facility and environment for patients in need of psychiatric hospitalization. The features and attributes will resonate with many. James O’Dea from Hartford Healthcare Behavioral Health Network described the “the three-legged stool” that frames his team’s improvement work, and new efforts to get further upstream with patients to help avoid the need for sudden trips to the ED and the hospital.

Aired Wednesday, 21 June 2017, 8:00 PM ET Byron Belitsos - Your Evolving Soul Who are we? How did we get here? Where are we going? Can there be a future in a world that at the present appears so divided and conflicted. Is there a glimmer of hope that the human spirit or soul can evolve and connect with the spirit found in all religions and faith—love? If you think about it, these questions that seem to describe the here and now could have been asked any time in the last 3000 or more years. My guest this evening on Destination Unlimited, Byron Belitsos, says the answer to these questions and more are found within what is known as the Urantia Revelation and that yes, there is hope! Byron is a multiple award-winning author and book publisher, and also an editor and educator. After founding Origin Press (OriginPress.org) in 1996, he has worked with numerous leading authors including Peter Russell, Ralph Metzner, Jim Marrs, Charles Tart, James O’Dea, Timothy Wyllie, Anodea Judith, and Barbara Marx Hubbard. Byron is also known as a leading expert on The Urantia Book, and has written, spoken, and given workshops widely on its teachings, including appearances on Gaiam TV and Coast-to-Coast AM Radio with George Noory. He has coauthored or edited five books about the Urantia Revelation, including The Adventure of Being Human II (2013), Healing a Broken World, and The Adventure of Being Human (2011). He joins me to discuss his new book, Your Evolving Soul: The Cosmic Spirituality of the Urantia Revelation.

Explore how an integration of activism and mysticism has the power to permanently transform the social order and to wake up humanity from its course of rapid self-destruction.

What does it take to activateconscious, positive changein the world?Julie Ann's ConsciousSHIFT guest James O'Dea, author of THE CONSCIOUS ACTIVIST: Where Activism Meets Mysticism - and former head of Amnesty International and the Institute of Noetic Sciences, says only the integration of the two - both activism and mysticism - has the power to wake up humanity from its course of rapid self-destruction.In their ConsciousSHIFT conversation, Julie Ann and James will guide a deep reflection on the demands of mystical realization and effective activism.James will share his experience and training to become both a mystic and an activist. The mystic, he says, must move past petty ego concerns in order to experience oneness with each other and our divine source. The activist, on the other hand, explores the role of passion and conscience in activating social change. There is communion, though, between the activist and the mystic – both seek to bring abstract concepts into flesh-and-blood reality. James will also share what he sees as a meeting ground between the two worlds, where spirituality and action unite to spark an accelerated transition towards our greater goal: a more evolved civilization. He sees it as essential that we all become conscious activists – to learn, collectively, how to move beyond our rigid conformity to beliefs of the past and its archaic structures of power and control. Our global problems of extreme competitiveness and violence have escalated in human history because we have not learned to evolve beyond them. Join Julie Ann and James for this powerful conversation about what being a Conscious Activist means, as it offers a meaningful answer to the question of who we are when we are fully evolved. This ConsciousSHIFT offers us the chance to save ourselves from our self-imposed prisons, and to become fully conscious of our power to bring heaven to Earth.

How we pray is as diverse as each being on our planet. What do we say? Do we even need to speak? What of our thoughts? How do you express your prayer? Do you know when you pray? Prayer is not necessarily done at a specific time or in a special place. How you pray is unique to YOU. Are you even aware of when and how you pray? We pray more than we realize. How do YOU pray? Healers, Activists & Other Lovers of Humanity (Monkfish Book Publishing, July 2014) was born from a vision in which Celeste Yacoboni was guided to ask the world, “How do you pray?” She reached out to family and friends, then to leading figures from all walks of life and schools of thought. Culled from those responses is an original and deeply personal collection of prayers, essays, and offerings that encourages readers to contemplate the intention of prayer in their own life. Composed essentially of prayers and short biographies of its 129 contributors (leaders of diverse spiritual and religious traditions ranging from Buddhism to Islam to Christianity, as well as those who do not claim any particular walk of faith), How Do You Pray? is an interspiritual prayer book and resource guide to an emerging global spirituality, which embraces our religious and spiritual diversity. Contributors include Brother David Steindl-Rast, Matthew Fox, Gregg Braden, Dan Millman, Huston Smith, Byron Katie, Marianne Williamson, Margaret Starbird, Lama Surya Das, Andrew Harvey, Terry Tempest Williams, Alex Grey, Masaru Emoto, Arvol Looking Horse, Patch Adams, Roshi Joan Halifax, Rabbi Zalman Schacter- Shalomi, Rabbi Rami Shapiro, Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee, James O’Dea, Hank Wesselman, Fr. Bede Griffiths, and many other luminous voices of spirit.

Global activist and author James O'Dea joins Julie Ann to explore the cultural, spiritual, and scientific dimensions of just this question - at a critical time on our planet.The guidance Julie Ann and James will explore - drawn from James's latest book, "Cultivating Peace: Becoming a 21st-Century Peace Ambassador," is relevant for us all - even those who have never considered themselves peacebuilders - not just for peace activists, mediators, and negotiators, but for psychologists, educators, businesspeople, and clergy - and for us, as everyday citizens.At an individual level, we may play a role as activators of peace through energy mastery - we can we can transform the energy that triggers us and model how to successfully transform unhealthy conflict in our families, workplaces, and local communities.On a community and societal level, peacebuilding creates space for healthy, deep introspection, dialogue, healing - and new vision.Peace work is about expanding the capacity of a society to embrace multifaceted identities.
