Deepak Chopra

The Future of Wellbeing

“The past is gone, the future is not here, now I am free of both. Right now, I choose joy.”

Join New York Times bestselling author Deepak Chopra as he guides you on how to wake up to new levels of awareness that will ultimately cultivate a clear vision, heal suffering in your mind and body, and help recover who you really are.

• Are we in the midst of a major paradigm shift in science?
• How does our understanding of consciousness as pure potentiality enhance our capacity for intuition, creativity, conscious choice making, healing, and the awakening of dormant potentials such as non-local communication and non-local sensory experience?
• How does our understanding of consciousness also enhance our capacity for total well-being (physical, emotional, spiritual, social, community, financial and ecological)?
• When you know who you really are, you will manifest your dreams at the highest level.

Chopra will address these questions as well as practical ways to experience transformation and healing.

Peace is the Way

Deepak Chopra's passionate new book was inspired by a saying from Mahatma Gandhi: "There is no way to peace. Peace is the way." In a world where every path to peace has proved futile, the one strategy that hasn't been tried is the way of peace itself. "We must not bring one war to an end, or thirty," Chopra tells us, "but the idea of war itself."

How can this be done? By facing the truth that war is satisfying, and then substituting new satisfactions so that violence is no longer appealing. "War has become a habit. We reach for it the way a chain smoker reaches for a cigarette, promising to quit but somehow never kicking the habit" But Chopra tells us that peace has its own power, and our task now is to direct it and multiply it one person at a time.

Behind the numbing headlines of violence running out of control, there are unmistakable signs of a change—Chopra believes that a majority of people are ready to see an end to war. "Right now 23 million soldiers serve in armies around the world. Can't we find ten times that number who will dedicate themselves to peace? A hundred times?"

Peace Is the Way challenges each of us to take the next leap in personal evolution. "You aren't asked to be a saint, or to give up any belief. You are only asked to stop reacting out of fear, to change your allegiance from violence to peace." In a practical seven-step program, Chopra shows the reader how to become a true peacemaker. "Violence may be innate in human nature, but so is its opposite: love. The next stage of humanity, the leap which we are poised to take, will be guided by the force of that love." This is more than a hope or an aspiration. It is a new way of being in the world, giving each individual the power to end war in our time.

The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnessing the Infinite Power of Coincidence

According to Dr Chopra, beyond your physical self, beyond your thoughts and emotions, there lies a realm within you that is pure potential; in this place anything is possible. This part of you is interwoven with everything else that exists, and with everything yet to come. Coincidences are messages from this place, precious clues about areas of our lives that require attention. When you live your life with an appreciation of coincidences and their meanings, you connect with the underlying field of infinite possibilities. This is when it becomes possible to achieve the spontaneous fulfillment of all desires.

At a time when events in the world have left many feeling especially insignificant and vulnerable, Dr Chopra gives specific principles and exercises that we can use as tools for catering the magnificence, miraculous life that is our birthright.
Blending scientific theory and ancient wisdom that is his best selling trademark, this exciting workshop will discuss:

• Why coincidences are miracles in disguise how they're happening more often than we're aware
• How to live a life that will bring forth more magical coincidences
• How a random series of coincidences created the universe
• What science is learning about coincidences occurring at the molecular level and in nature

The Soul of Leadership

Leadership is a mysterious and elusive concept. What we read as history is really the creation of myths. From an ordinary person, society creates a Napoleon, or Gandhi, a Martin Luther King or Joan of Arc, someone who acquires mythic status as a shaper of destiny. We know the first steps of how this transformation occurs. Every group naturally gives rise to leaders who guide their followers to a shared goal. Yet some leaders fail while others succeed. Some are destroyed by a flawed strategy or by the overwhelming stress of their role. And when crisis arises, calling for great leaders, there is a constant threat that such a figure will not appear, leaving the infamous ‘leadership vacuum’ that has become a chronic problem in modern society. Are we too suspicious of leaders to make great ones anymore? The answer lies in the understanding of human consciousness.

How do leaders emerge from ordinary lives? In the deeper reality, a family in disarray, a company without vision, or a nation struggling toward a new level of freedom need to respond to hidden spiritual drives. Once this is understood, leaders can be made who rise to the highest levels of greatness. Any person [here we are speaking equally of men and women] can begin on the same road, not by being born a leader but by looking inward.

Deepak will discuss acronym L-E-A-D-E-R-S and the mental template that a leader uses. All models of leadership give the same general advice to look and listen; however, it is important to realize that L-E-A-D-E-R-S means something different at every level. Flexibility is everything. As new needs reveal themselves, there is a new level of looking and listening. Immediately the rest of the acronym also shifts, leading to new action and a higher level of responsibility.

When the final story is told, leadership is the most crucial choice one can make–it is the decision to step out of darkness. Only someone who can find wisdom in the midst of chaos will be remembered as a great leader. Yet matching needs and responses is our birthright, built into our brains as well as our spirit. In conclusion, a leader may never find occasion to tell his followers why he has enriched their life or raised them to the level of the soul, yet in his heart he will know that he did those things for himself. That is enough. Wisdom traditions define truth as a single spark that burns down the whole forest. If the leader is willing to be that spark, others will see it within him. Craving direction, they will value what he offers, which is the first step toward valuing it in themselves.
