The Five Course Sessions

The five sessions include audio recordings by Leslie with four follow-up, pre-recorded, question-and-answer Zoom calls with Brad from when the course was initially offered live.

The Healing Power of Meditation

Meditation is the foundation of the Spiritual Warrior’s practice and helps us access the universal source of healing energy.

What You'll Take Away:

  • Helpful guidance for improving your meditations—for beginning and intermediate meditators

  • Two discussions about meditation, how and why it works and what you gain from it

  • Two guided meditations




Love and truth are the most powerful forces in the universe. We can use these forces to cultivate the garden of the heart and move into a state of unconditional loving, even in the face of adversity.

What You'll Take Away:

  • Learn how to find love, peace and healing in your life

  • Understand how to become a powerful force for peace and healing in others’ lives

  • Discover the secret of living permanently established in heart consciousness

  • Dissolve limiting and negative conditioning

  • Focus more on interdependence and serving the welfare of others

Awakening to Love

There is a direct correlation between your level of impeccability and your ability to ascend in consciousness. Impeccability is the ability to access, use, store and manage energy perfectly. You need a great deal of energy for transformation and empowerment.

What You'll Take Away:

  • Techniques for creating healthy, beautiful and inspiring: home and work environments and relationships (with others and yourself)

  • Practical exercises to ground the spiritual principles

The Fuel for an Extraordinary Life


Everyone has an artist within, waiting to be awakened. But how do you develop your latent, innate, creative flow? How do you become more sensitive and more able to perceive in and through the subtle worlds? The clearer you become, the more creative and refined you become and the more you are able to master life and develop an enlightened mind.

What You'll Take Away:

  • Move beyond the conditioned, egoic mind and its limited perception

  • Discover the Zen idea of controlled abandon—the ability to access core energy

Feeling, Seeing and Creating


It feels natural for us to depend on the world for grounding and stability. But the world is too transitory and unstable to be an effective center. We can let go and accept change joyously when we ground on our inner spiritual core.

What You'll Take Away:

  • Open to a higher level of perceiving

  • Awaken to a new paradigm of balance, heart-centeredness and unity consciousness

Grounding on Your Inner, Spiritual Core

Sample Audio Excerpts from the Course

Do you want to truly see the natural world?

One important aspect of the Spiritual Warrior is the ability to see deeply into the intrinsic nature of reality—to see things as they truly are. An endless fascination with the beauty of existence and with life itself grows as we learn to see with true eyes.

    Transcript of Brad's Response:

    I know some people can hit a snag because of that word warrior, which has “war” in it. Warriors can be associated with violence and aggression. And it can be interpreted in an old paradigm way, which is about fighting and victims and tyrants. And that's certainly not what we mean. The way that we're using it is more in a Zen kind of way. The way of being a warrior is about becoming a pillar of strength. It means that when we're faced with an unexpected change, we can respond with strength as well as with resilience. So, it's about both things. It's about learning to be both strong as well as flexible. And also, being a spiritual warrior means that when life brings us a challenge, we keep going. We have determination. We have fortitude. We've made a deep commitment to our spiritual path and to our evolution in consciousness, and so, we are unwavering. We are deeply committed to our awakening, and that's the quality of a warrior. So, a spiritual warrior in the way we mean it has a deep commitment to develop qualities like peace, balance and love. Especially love. A warrior is synonymous with courage. And courage, as we all know, is a heart state. The word courage has cor in it, which is the Latin root for heart. The French word for heart is coeur. So, it's about love. The purpose of life for the kind of warrior that we're talking about is opening the heart more permanently and learning to live increasingly in the heart. Ultimately, it's discovering that we're made of love and being able to share that love with others. And so, we're really talking about becoming a warrior of love.

    There are a lot of ancient spiritual texts which use war as a metaphor, where like in the Bhagavad Gita, for example, Arjuna is the warrior. He's fighting a battle, and it's about overcoming his fears and limitations and awakening to a higher consciousness. And the truth is that sometimes it can feel like we're in a battle. The metaphor is really about our human and spiritual struggles that we're here to learn how to deal with. And so, spiritual warrior-ship is about that. I'm also reminded of the warrior asana that’s practiced in yoga. It's that pose that creates a physical sense of peace and balance in the body because we're grounding. If you know that pose, it's establishing a strong foundation in the physical body. Another example is the Japanese samurai. Samurai translates as the way of the warrior, and those samurai warriors dedicated their lives to very high principles like justice and courage and honor and benevolence. Those were the hallmarks of the samurai. So, that also reminds me of the popular book, The Way of The Peaceful Warrior, which is about embodying those higher qualities of the warrior spirit.
