Benjamin Zander sees intelligent optimism as a discipline. For the disciplined intelligent optimist, Zander explains, life is a constant test, which has everything to do with a conscious effort to believe. He and his wife, Rosamund Zander, a family therapist and executive coach, co-wrote the book, The Art of Possibility, which has always been an inspiration to Ode and touches upon the very core of our mission. We are proud to announce to our readers that Benjamin Zander, who believes that every moment offers new opportunities, will speak at the launch of The Intelligent Optimist.

About Benjamin Zander:

Benjamin Zander has for decades been the conductor of the Boston Philharmonic Orchestra. He is also one of the most sought-after speakers in the world. He has given the keynote address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, and been recognized with the Crystal Award for “outstanding contributions in the arts and international relations,” and the Caring Citizen of the Humanities Award by the International Council for Caring Communities at the UN.

The bestselling book, The Art of Possibility, which he co-authored with his wife, has been widely hailed as a landmark work on the triumph of human creativity’s potential.

His latest recording, with London’s Philharmonic Orchestra, was nominated for a 2010 Grammy and is respected both for the performance and Zander’s now-famous full-length disc explaining the music to the lay listener.

In Benjamin Zander’s words:

“In the measurement world, you set a goal and strive for it. In the universe of possibility, you set the context and let life unfold.” 

“How often do we stand convinced of the truth of our early memories, forgetting that they are assessments made by a child? We can replace the narratives that hold us back by inventing wiser stories, free from childish fears, and, in doing so, disperse long-held psychological stumbling blocks.”

― From The Art of Possibility: Transforming Professional and Personal Life

What People Are Saying About Benjamin Zander:

“In his passionate, almost savagely energetic monologues, Zander leaps about the stage from his piano to a flip chart and back to the piano. He plays, lectures, spins tales and pushes his audience to laugh, cry and sing.”
–Polly LaBarre, Fast Company

“Everything Ben does is essentially about teaching. Whether he’s talking to a room full of CEOs, coaching a cellist in a master class or taking an orchestral rehearsal, it’s all about releasing our potential and helping us speak directly to our audience, whatever we play, wherever we play it.”
–James Lowe, Conductor and 2001-2002 Zander Fellow

“If you want to take your leadership skills to the next level, study the art of possibility with the Zanders. His leadership view is unconventional, irreverent and bold. Its impact is without boundaries. I have seen Ben Zander’s teaching transform entire teams through possibility in ways that are nothing short of magical, with results that are nothing short of exemplary. He is a catalyst for excellence.”

How can we transform our democracy?

The United States presidential elections are coming up. For many of us, these elections are seen as the highlight of our democratic process. But have you ever considered that democracy could be more than merely voting every four years? Tom Atlee sees a new possibility for all citizens in democracies: to delegate some of their decision-making power to temporary panels of randomly selected ordinary citizens, called “citizen councils.” These councils would be similar to trial juries in structure, and they could be plugged into the existing political system in various ways.

Atlee will share his pioneering views on these panels and his inspiring thoughts on how citizens can be included in democracy again. Like Atlee says: “Creating the capacity for public wisdom in the 21st century is our task, our calling. We are the revolutionary founders of the new democracy.”

Who should attend?

• All you pioneers of the possible, people who believe that we can transform our democratic process for the better.
• People who are interested in the wisdom of the group, and how that wisdom can contribute to politics.
• Everyone who would like to fix politics, and thinks that voting every two or four years is not enough.

About Tom Atlee

Tom Atlee is co-director and research director of the Co-Intelligence Institute, a nonprofit organization he founded in 1996. His early co-intelligence research in the late 1980s focused on the relationship between group dynamics and collective intelligence. Later, his focus shifted to developing society’s capacity to function as a wise democracy. From his view, democracy is a means through which human groups, communities and societies co-create their future together. He’s the author of The Tao of Democracy: Using Co-Intelligence to Create a World That Works for All (The Writers Collective, 2003) and the forthcoming Empowering Public Wisdom: A Practical Vision of Citizen-Led Politics (North Atlantic Books).

Praise for Tom Atlee

“Tom Atlee helps us envision, in amazing detail, how we can shape democracy we believe in because we’re creating together.”
—Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet and EcoMind

“In this practical and visionary book, filled with concrete examples of what works, Tom Atlee shows us how we can harness our collective wisdom to discern the way forward in these complex and challenging times. Inspiring and highly recommended!”
—William Ury, coauthor of Getting to Yes and author of The Third Side

“A wise and important development for the democracy movement.”
—Hawaii state senator Les Ihara Jr., Senate majority policy leader

“At last someone has described the conditions under which ordinary people can generate real public wisdom. The implications for democracy—especially for democratic handling of our most troubling, complex, and urgent issues—are profound. I urge activists, academics, public officials, and every concerned citizen to heed the call in this book.”
—Richard Sclove, author of Democracy and Technology

“Empowering Public Wisdom serves up a juicy antidote to today’s increasingly intractable issues, political gridlock, and public disengagement. Having used many of the practices Atlee outlines, I can attest to the viability and vitality of the vision he paints and the approaches he proposes on behalf of us all.”
—Peggy Holman, consultant, author of Engaging Emergence: Turning Upheaval into Opportunity and coauthor of The Change Handbook

“In this book, Tom Atlee highlights the seldom-noted potential of dialogue and deliberation to generate true public wisdom. He explores how to increase that potential, how to embed it in our democracy, and how to empower it to make a real difference—an important contribution to our field and our political culture.”
—Sandy Heierbacher, director, National Coalition for Dialogue & Deliberation

Most people live in a “try harder” world.
If you are like most of us, you have tried hard to become a better person over the years. But when it comes to accomplishing your goals in life, sometimes it can feel like you are your own worst enemy. You notice it when you set a goal and can’t seem to achieve it, because you keep sabotaging yourself. This inner conflict can keep you from having a life filled with joy, happiness and peace. Most people meet this inner conflict by doubling their efforts to overcome the resistance they feel inside. They live in the “try harder” world and ultimately most of them realize that “If you keep doing what you’ve been doing, you’ll keep getting what you’ve been getting.”

The latest discoveries from neuroscience show that our thoughts and actions are mostly—95 percent—determined by our subconscious. Our conscious plans make up the other 5 percent. That means it is going to be very hard to accomplish any change if our subconscious is programmed with the wrong beliefs.

The problem is that our subconscious ‘records’ experiences from our earliest moments onwards. We are brought into this world, and into various cultures that have a whole bunch of mindsets already in place for us. We start internalizing those even before we are out of the womb. Your parents start to treat you in a way that fits the society’s norms and their own beliefs. Rob Williams: “By the time you’re 12 years old, generally speaking, you are quite asleep at the wheel of your own life because you are ‘inculturated’ by whatever your culture and your parents say is true and right. That’s not all bad. But you want to change the beliefs that are not serving you, that are limiting you in some way.”

There is no shortage on offerings for personal growth miracles in today’s world. Yet many of these teachings and therapies fail when conscious commitments and intentions don’t succeed in overwriting self-limiting beliefs at the subconscious level of the mind. Changing the subconscious, that drives most of our behavior and experience, is precisely the focus of the method that Rob Williams developed almost 25 years ago: PSYCH-K (pronounced sigh-kay). PSYCH-K offers a simple and direct way to help people overcome self-sabotage. The method has contributed to spectacular breakthroughs in many lives. This event provides a unique introduction to PSYCH-K.

In Rob Williams’ own words:

“You can repeat affirmations until you are blue in the face, it seldom makes any difference. Most of the time it’s not about positive thinking. It’s not about: oh, cancel, I don’t want that thought. You already had the thought. So until you change the basic software of the subconscious, your mind’s equivalent of a ‘hard drive’, your life won’t change.”

What you will learn

In this conversation between Rob Williams and Jeffrey Fannin moderated by The Intelligent Optimist’s Editor-in-Chief, Jurriaan Kamp, you will get a basic understanding about how your subconscious beliefs determine most of your daily life experiences:

• Why you don’t always do the right thing, even when you know the right thing to do
• Why trying smarter is better than trying harder
• Why changing yourself can change the world

Jeffrey Fannin will speak about the latest findings from neuroscience about the influence of the subconscious on our experiences and Williams will speak about his results in changing subconscious beliefs through PSYCH-K (pronounced sigh-kay). This event will be an introduction to a 4-part course that Williams and Fannin will teach and provides a unique opportunity to become familiar with a breakthrough innovation in the social sciences and… the missing peace in your life.

Williams: “You can’t have peace in our life, if you are at war with yourself.”

Next step…

…Stay tuned for the online course that will follow this introductory event.

About Rob Williams and Jeffrey Fannin

At first glance, neuroscience and business may seem an odd juxtaposition of backgrounds and skills. However, the connection between neuroscience and business received worldwide recognition in an article that appeared in the Wall Street Journal, September 20, 2007, This Is Your Brain on the Job. 

Because of their mutual interest in human performance, and thier scientific curiosity about human consciousness, Williams and Fannin crossed paths in January of 2010. They joined forces to help satisfy that curiosity.

The process used to create changes in beliefs is known in the marketplace as PSYCH-K, or the corporate and leadership version, known as PER-K. This human performance technology was developed in 1988-89. It utilizes whole-brain integration processes to create a whole-brain state. This state of consciousness is associated with high levels of performance in virtually any area of human experience. This bilateral, symmetrical state of mind/brain optimizes the mind/brain potential to better meet life’s challenges and opportunities, as well as providing a “user-friendly” state for changing subconscious perceptions and beliefs.

As a society we are facing many difficult challenges in the world today: political, ecological, social, and economic. Williams and Fannin believe that, used properly, this collaboration between business and neuroscience can help individuals develop creatively different solutions to many of those challenges.

Food for thought:

“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us ‘Universe,’ a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts, and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.”

– Albert Einstein

Praise for Rob Williams:

“The secret to life is belief. Rather than genes, it is our beliefs that control our lives. PSYCH-K is a simple, self-empowering process to change your beliefs and perceptions that impact your life at a cellular level.”

Bruce Lipton, Ph.D. Cellular Biologist
Author of The Biology of Belief.

What is Social Artistry?

Social Artistry is a method of enhancing human capacities in the light of social complexity. It seeks to bring new ways of thinking, being, and doing to the current social challenges of the world.

Drawing upon its successes in leadership training worldwide, Social Artistry offers state-of-the-art discoveries in human capacity building to the complicated realm of social transformation.

The aim of social artistry is to build a planetary society based on the principles of democracy, sustainable development, universal human rights, social justice and equality to the sovereignty and dignity of all cultures worldwide.

Societies are crying out for assistance in the transformation of their citizens, organizations, and institutions. For these changes to come about, however, new ways of looking at leadership are necessary, as well as new methods of developing human beings who are eager to serve humanity.

Under the auspices of the UN and other international agencies, Jean Houston has worked diligently to bring the principles of Social Artistry to many countries and cultures around the globe, moving toward a shift in consciousness that will create a more cohesive planetary whole.

Who should attend?

• All of you pioneers of the possible, the people who make differences and dedicate your lives to making the world a better place

About Jean Houston

Jean Houston is an American scholar, lecturer, author and philosopher who has helped pioneer and motivate the human potential movement. As a visionary thinker and teacher, Houston holds conferences and seminars with social leaders, educational institutions and business organizations worldwide. She has worked in over 40 cultures and 100 countries, helping leaders maintain cultural pride and identity as their countries become part of the global community. She has studied with Margaret Mead, been personally inspired by Helen Keller and advised Hillary Clinton. As an author, Houston has written or co-written nearly 30 books. She has been a consultant for political leaders and to UNICEF and, since 2003, has been working with The United Nations Development Group training leaders in Social Artistry.

The stem cell biologist inserted genetically identical stem cells into Petri dishes in a lab at Stanford University more than 20 years ago and changed the environments in the dishes. What he found was that genes deteriorated in negative environments and rallied when placed in more receptive environments.

His conclusion? Genes don’t control life. They respond to stimuli.

What that means outside the lab, Lipton says, is that what we believe shapes what happens. Change our minds, he says, and everything—from our careers to our communities—will shift.

But transformation is a complex business. “We only run our lives with our creative, conscious minds about 5 percent of the time,” he says. “Ninety-five percent of the time, our lives are controlled by the beliefs and habits that are programmed in the subconscious mind.”

Before our lives can become what we want them to be, then, we may need to reprogram our subconscious minds.

Join OdeNow and Bruce Lipton for a two-hour event in San Francisco—or livestreamed right into your living room—on Friday, June 15, and he will tell you how.

The title of the event, Spontaneous Evolution, speaks to the speed of the transformation that becomes possible once we make the shift, Lipton says.

About Bruce Lipton

Biologist Bruce Lipton is a leading figure on the borderland between science and spirituality, best known for his pioneering studies into the idea that our beliefs affect our DNA at Stanford University and for the resulting bestseller on the subject, The Biology of Belief. Most recently, he has published Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future (and a Way to Get There from Here), which advances the controversial theory that the earth is capable of healing from the ravages of mankind and is doing so now.

What People Are Saying About Bruce Lipton’s Bestselling Biology of Belief:

“Bruce Lipton’s book is the definitive summary of the new biology and all it implies. It is magnificent, profound beyond words, and a delight to read. It synthesizes an encyclopedia of critical new information into a brilliant yet simple package. These pages contain a genuine revolution in thought and understanding, one so radical that it can change the world.”

Joseph Chilton Pearce, Ph.D.
Author of Magical Child, The Crack in the Cosmic Egg: New Constructs of Mind and Reality and many other books

“Bruce Lipton’s delightfully written Biology of Belief is a much needed antidote to the ‘bottom-up’ materialism of today’s society. The idea that DNA encodes all of life’s development is being successfully employed in genetic engineering. At the same time, the shortfall of this approach is becoming evident. The Biology of Belief is a review of a quarter-century of pioneering results in epigenetics, heralded by The Wall Street Science Journal in mid-2004 as an important new field. Its personal style makes it eminently readable and enjoyable.”

Karl H. Pribram, M.D., PhD. (Hon, Multi)
Professor Emeritus, Stanford University

“Dr. Lipton is a genius. His breakthrough discoveries give us tools for regaining the sovereignty over our lives. I recommend this book to anyone who is ready and willing to take full responsibility for themselves and the destiny of our planet.”

LeVar Burton
Actor/Director

“In this paradigm-busting book, Bruce Lipton delivers a TKO to Old Biology. With a left to Darwinian dogma and a right to allopathic medicine, he breaks out of the physicalist box into enlightenment on the mind/body (belief/biology) system. Must read, much fun.”

Ralph Abraham, Ph.D.

Professor of Mathematics, University of California at Santa Cruz
Author of Foundations of Mechanics; Dynamics, the Geometry of Behavior; and Chaos, Gaia, Eros.

Anyone dealing with challenging diseases for which mainstream medicine doesn’t have easy answers or who wants to clean up the past and live a happier, more successful life.

The Program of the Workshop

Dr. Roy Martina discovered one of the missing links in self-healing and spirituality: the connection with your higher consciousness through your right brain. This is an important step toward a new way of healing and personal development. The higher consciousness is your authentic self and it gives you messages and signs. It is your most powerful part and it knows everything about you, and about everything and everybody affecting your life. In this workshop you’ll learn to connect with your higher consciousness. The secret is to find a way to use the right part of your brain. Science has not been able to find the difference between the left and the right brain.

The left-brain works in three-dimensional way and is needed for us to function in a three-dimensional world. The ego is the part of us that can be conditioned and become dominant in our lives and creates stress, fears and diseases; the ego is working through the left brain.

The right brain is wireless, while the left-brain needs the five senses (sight, hearing, smelling, feeling and touch) to operate. The right brain works like the Internet and can connect with every being in the universe and gives us the power of intuition. The secret of this workshop is to teach you how to use the right brain to find the answers you are looking for.

For the first time: Rapid Karma Burning

All our challenges and most of our diseases come from karma, says Martina. We repeat the same mistakes and lessons until we learn to live connected to our divine power and make new choices from this connection. Now you can learn how to quickly burn your karma with a technique that has never been revealed before. You’ll also learn how to raise the vibrations of your aura (an energy field of subtle, luminous radiation surrounding your body) to attract the life you want.

Powerful guided meditations

Martina’s partner Joy Waid, is a powerful oracle, who will be coming to the workshop to channel a powerful guided meditation from the higher levels. This alone will help transform your life and heal your astral body.

The objectives of the Christallin Method

The goal is to bring back universal unconditional love and healing in our lives and to our planet. This power is in each one of us and can help us heal our souls, our physical and astral bodies and the negativity in our minds. When you are on your path, you spread love, light and kindness and you live with grace, ease and joy.

Guided Group Healing

The secret to healing is to clean the disease-forming energies from the system like you are cleaning viruses from a computer. This cleansing will initiate the self-healing of the body and helps to prevent disease . If you are not sick, even better: You can still remove potential energies that may cause disease later in life.

“This workshop is a new unique way based on years of research. The difference with the ancient techniques like meditation, yoga, ta-chi and so on is that it does not take years of practice to find your inner power and inner wisdom!”
–Dr. Roy Martina

What you’ll get out of the workshop

• You’ll learn how to become happy and stress free
• You’ll learn the new Rapid Karma Burning Technique
• You’ll learn to connect to your higher consciousness through the Christallin Method and to let go of your self-sabotaging mechanisms and achieve what you want
• And the best part: Your physical problems will heal more quickly. Your body can often be healed faster by your higher consciousness. The only things that block this healing are karma and your unwillingness to listen or follow the instructions given by that consciousness.

‘Voeding is ons lot’ met architect & voedingsactiviste Carolyn Steel
Architect en auteur Carolyn Steel toont in haar boek De hongerige stad hoe de relatie tussen voedsel en steden ons leven bepaalt. Ze schetst een helder beeld van de enorme effecten van de moderne voedselproductie op onze planeet en op ons leven, en verschaft inzicht in hoe het zo gekomen is en hoe we verder moeten.

Voedsel is de kiem waaruit wij en onze beschaving groeien. ’We moeten zelf weer de baas worden over ons voedsel’, zegt Steel, en we kunnen het zelfs positief gaan inzetten als werktuig om vorm te geven aan een betere wereld. Tijdens deze lezing zal Steel vertellen waarom een goed leven begint met meer waardering voor ons voedsel, en met meer respect voor de plaatsen, planten en dieren waar ons voedsel vandaan komt. Haar belangrijkste boodschap is: elke dag kun je aan tafel een beter mens worden.

Wat is intentie en hoe werkt het?
Het verschil tussen de linker-en rechterhersenhelft heeft meer invloed op ons leven dan we denken. Holistisch arts Roy Martina ontdekte dat het rechterbrein in contact staat met ons hogere bewustzijn. Hij vertelt hoe je de eerste stappen naar die verbinding kan zetten, hoe je door bewuster te leven kracht en intuïtie ontwikkelt en jezelf kan beschermen tegen negatieve energieën. Tijdens dit evenement leidt Martina een diepe helingoefening met de groep. Want in contact met een hoger bewustzijn heeft alles een precieze bedoeling, meent Martina. ‘Uiteindelijk ontkom je niet aan de vraag wie je bent, wat je levensopdracht is en waarom je jezelf tegenkomt in ziekte.’
