Includes Training Sessions With These Visionary Peacebuilders:

And Bonus Recorded Sessions With:

We aim to empower 10,000 Peace Ambassadors to help create a major shift towards peace in our world. It’s time!

With The Peace Ambassador Training 2.0, you have an extraordinary opportunity to discover how to experience true inner peace, transform challenging relationships and heal social wounds.

If you’re like us, the news for the past year has been very difficult. The escalating violence in the Middle East, the many terrorist attacks in cities all over the world, and the number of mass shootings are devastating to witness and hard to understand.

They are all connected to a fundamental lack of understanding in humanity of how to create a culture of peace and heal the roots of violence.

These events stem from a fundamental lack of understanding of how to create a culture of peace and heal the roots of violence.

Studies show that peace begins in our mind and hearts, builds in our families and schools — and ultimately manifests in less and less violent cultures.

To be part of the solution, we have to start looking at our own culture first. Our society’s propensity toward violence is reflected in bullied children, abusive families, fear-ridden schools, broken marriages, toxic work environments and warlike politics.

We need change… and soon.

It’s time to move beyond damaging conflicts and find ways to co-exist peacefully together… so that we can co-create a beautiful future where EVERYONE feels safe and can thrive and prosper.

To succeed, we need to awaken to our highest potential as peacebuilders and take meaningful action, each in our own way.

The skills of cultivating personal peace, transforming conflict, and healing individual and social wounds are at the core of creating a healthy, vibrant, peaceful and sustainable world.

And that is why we have created The Peace Ambassador Training 2.0, which has been called one of the best online peace trainings available. It is now reaching a new level of excellence with our “2.0” upgrade by bringing in the science of mindfulness and cutting-edge tools you can apply in your daily life, with your family and community.

Receive Life-changing Wisdom

It’s essential for us to constructively and peacefully handle our differences, however it’s shocking that so few of us receive the skills for how to do so.

That’s why we have such a violent culture; we simply aren’t skilled at training people for peace, even though all of us want to feel safe and secure.

It doesn’t have to be this way — we can live peacefully and joyfully in our hearts and with each other — fostering harmonious families, schools, communities and even political cultures.

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

By participating in this extraordinary training, you’ll become part of a conscious, healing and inspiring community of Peace Ambassadors around the world — some of the most dedicated beings you’ll ever meet! There are currently over 1,000 Peace Ambassadors in 40+ countries.

These are people, who, like you, are committed to creating a life which radiates positive peace and is contributing to a world without violence at any level.

The esteemed course faculty and participants will help you open your heart, clear your own history of damaging conflict or abuse, expand your knowledge of effective new paradigms for transforming conflict, and help you to become a beacon of peace.

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

With the right training and tools you CAN make peace the new baseline for your life and contribute in making profound shifts across the globe.

And with the guidance of our world-renowned faculty, you’ll receive the most essential insights, cutting-edge ideas, resources and strategies to become an authentic ambassador of peace and healing in your community and in our world.

Instead of merely wishing or hoping for positive change to happen, you’ll know HOW you can make a significant difference.

Awakening the Presence of Peace in You

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

We are talking about empowering 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.

We all know world peace starts with inner peace. The Peace Ambassador Training 2.0 is designed to take you on a journey of building the inner foundation of peace so you can be peace while powerfully acting for peace in our world. Our brilliant faculty will show you how to become an emissary for a deeper kind of global healing.

Over the course of 12 modules, you’ll be guided in a step-by-step process — which includes cultivating genuine inner peace, healing personal and collective wounds, communicating peace, working with others to create community peace, and more.

The original Peace Ambassador Training came 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.

Philip Hellmich and Emily Hine are taking James O’Dea’s original design and making it more accessible, relevant to current concerns, and focused on the practical skills you need to transform conflict in yourself, your family and community. They have built the Peace Ambassador Program 2.0 into something unprecedented by drawing upon leading-edge compassion and mindfulness practices.

The transformation that comes from peacebuilding can 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.
