David Nicol – The Subtle Activist Training

With Global Activist & Co-founder of the Gaiafield Project
David Thomas Nicol

Expand your ability to access higher realms and take your spiritual practice to the next level of world-shifting impact.

Explore exciting frontiers of spiritual transformation in community with other pioneers at the leading edge of meditation, prayer and collective intention.

In his first-ever online Subtle Activist Training, David will show you how you can harness the power of your spiritual practices for greater good, to affect positive change in the world — and yourself. He’ll distill more than a decade of research into a concrete set of insights and practices that can open up a whole new domain for your spiritual growth and service.

He’ll take you step-by-step through the theory and techniques that allow you to engage in effective subtle activism as both a participant and organizer, as you build a field of co-creative exploration that can help shift our world.

And the best part of this work is that the benefits not only ripple out into our society but they also flow into yourself. A great deal of experience shows that when individuals work in subtle activism, they become more energized, joyful and hopeful. The experience of entering into a “group mind” leads to a feeling of oneness. As a result, people connect more deeply, feel like they’re part of a soul family, access more life force and collaborate more actively on worldly projects.

In other words, subtle activism builds a sense of real community and larger purpose, while empowering actions in the manifest realm as well.

It thus serves as an important way to advance beyond purely solo practices, which can limit our collective growth potential. By learning to consciously step into larger fields of intention, practice and work, we release the self-serving and self-seeking impulse of the ego and experience ourselves as part of a larger whole. This work, in turn, acts as a bridge to support collective awakening and transformation through direct experiences of global oneness.

During the 7-week journey with David, you’ll see why it’s increasingly clear that engaging in subtle activism can enhance your personal evolution in addition to contributing to our collective healing.

When you join this groundbreaking training, you’ll learn:

• Cutting-edge discoveries about how subtle activism actually works — drawing from the latest science about such phenomena as morphogenetic fields and psi research
• Advanced practices and lore around subtle activism, as well as information on the skills you need to develop to become more effective
• Creative techniques you can engage with a group to activate a collective subtle body — including creating a “higher mind,” “higher heart” and “higher will” — and positively impact challenging situations in the world
• How subtle activism can supercharge your spiritual practice with purpose, and create a healthy flow between a focus on self and world
• Ways to develop subtle perception, allowing you to navigate higher levels of consciousness
• Practical skills for building group synergy that can be applied to any conscious organization
• Discover new levels of hope and purpose that illuminate the next steps on your path of personal and professional development.
• Specific practices for self-protection, safety, clearing and grounding — which are especially important for dealing with larger traumas in the collective
• How to develop real discernment and distinguish healthy skepticism from fear-based doubt.How to go beyond the polarity of doubt and belief to transrational knowing
• The ethics of engaging on subtle dimensions for the collective
• The 3 keys to building collective intelligence in groups
• If you’ve been curious about going beyond solo spiritual practice and making a difference on the larger issues of our time, as well as exploring the frontiers of consciousness, this is the course for you.

What You’ll Discover in These 7 Weeks

• During the 7-Module Subtle Activist Training, David will introduce you to the fundamental ideas and skill sets needed to engage effectively in the practice of subtle activism. You’ll discover how linking your personal spiritual practice to collective transformation can be a crucial step that enhances your spiritual life with purpose and helps you let go of the obsession with self. You’ll learn about the science and theories underlying subtle activism and the critical role this emerging force can play at a pivotal moment in the evolution of consciousness on our planet. You’ll get connected to the fast-growing global subtle activism movement and be able to find your way to plug into this emerging planetary force.
• Most of all, you’ll participate in co-creating a potent field of group synergy that will serve as the primary vehicle for our subtle activism work. In each session, you will take part in a short guided meditation to help build the subtle body of our group field. You will also engage with a profound group subtle activism practice (known as Gaiafield Attunement) that will target a number of real-world situations calling for our attention.
• Between sessions, you’ll be invited to continue to help build our group field through a simple daily resonance-building practice, supported by text and/or email reminders with links to audio/visual meditative supports. Each session will build upon the last, so that you will become more and more deeply embedded in a resonant group field of dynamic presence.
