Albert Einstein famously said that we cannot solve problems with the level of thinking that created them – we need to rise to the next level of consciousness.
When John Robbins walked away from Baskin-Robbins (founded and then owned by his father and uncle) and the vast wealth it represented, his family thought he had lost his mind.
But, instinctually, he knew he needed to pursue a different kind of life that went beyond the old American dream of unlimited consumption. He was called to a deeper dream of unlimited compassion. A dream to make a real contribution to the well-being and happiness of others, and to live a life of integrity and service. In the decades since, his books have sold three million copies, and his work has helped to awaken the conscience of a nation.
While most of us didnât grow up with ice cream cone-shaped swimming pools like John Robbins did, we DO have dreams for a better world and for our own lives. Most of us have become disillusioned with the empty promises of materialistic obsession. And we truly want a world that is free from the scourges of endless war and starvation, a world with a healthy environment, a world with thriving relationships, healthy people, peace and social justice for all.
These are questions the father and son team of John and Ocean Robbins have been grappling with for a combined 70 years. And they are joining forces – for the first time in a telecourse format – to offer REAL solutions to help you enjoy a healthy and fulfilling life WHILE making a positive contribution to the world.
The insights they will share are the product of hard-earned experience. John Robbinsâ books, presentations and workshops have shaken many polluting industries and galvanized millions.
Ocean organized a peace rally in 3rd grade and was facilitating international youth summits in Moscow at age 14. At age 16, he founded a global non-profit organization (YES!) that in the next 20 years grew under his direction to dramatically improve the lives of people in 65 countries. Now that Ocean and his wife Michele have identical twins with autism, the whole Robbins family is learning about faith, community resiliency and the real meaning of unconditional love.
They are living testimony to a thriving and joyful lifestyle while tirelessly and successfully advocating for a spiritually fulfilling, environmentally sustainable and socially just human presence on this planet.
And through this 7-week course, they are offering specific action steps you can take to express your deep care and concern for the crises we face. We all want to stop world hunger, solve our climate crisis, prevent animal cruelty, eat in ways that are healthy and nourishing to our bodies and see peace flourish around the world.
But, we havenât been taught what we can do – beyond recycling and using compact fluorescent light bulbs. And we certainly have had very little support, tools and community to help us act on what we do know.
Thatâs what this course offers. If youâre hungry for the truth – and want to know specific steps you can take to create a world that works for all – then youâll want to join this 7-week telecourse. It will help you align your values with your actions, align your personal health with your social impact, and align your service with your joy.
Youâll discover those leverage places where the same choices that build a world of justice, liberation and peace can also help you to be happier, healthier, and more passionately ALIVE.
This course promises to support your health, uphold your spirit and help you to fulfill your true nature and reason for being born.
Join this internationally-renowned, inspiring father-son team and you can:
WEEK 1 The New Good Life: Creating High-Joy, Low-Cost Solutions for Your Life (Oct 19th)
How do you define the good life? For many, success is measured not by health and happiness but by financial wealth. But such a worldview overlooks the important things in life: personal contentment, family time, spirituality and the health of the planet and those living on it. A preoccupation with money and possessions is not only unhealthy, it can also drain the true joy from life.
In recent years, millions have watched their financial dreams go up in smoke. The international financial collapse, out-of-control health care costs, massive layoffs, and burgeoning consumer debt have left people in dire financial straits. But there is a potential upside to our collective financial downturn: curtailed consumption could lead us to reassess our lives and values.
The New Good Life provides a philosophical and prescriptive path from conspicuous consumption to conscious consumption. Where the old view of success was measured in cash, stocks and various luxuries, the new view will be guided by financial restraint and a new awareness of what truly matters.

WEEK 2 The Food Revolution: Creating a Healthier Future for Yourself, Your Family and Our Planet (Oct 26th)
A few companies dominate U.S. food policy and control an ever-larger share of the nationâs seed and food distribution systems. Meanwhile, the people of the U.S. spend vastly more money on medical care than any people in the history of the world, yet have unprecedented rates of obesity. In addition, tens of millions of kids in the U.S. now struggle to get decent food to eat.
Thereâs a connection between these realities as millions of people all over the world are realizing that chronic illness is not inevitable, and that a healthy diet and lifestyle can transform our lives and make a profound impact. We can all take steps that make us less dependent on insurance companies and doctors, and more dependent on our own health-giving choices. And we can create healthy habits that help us not just to survive, but to thrive.
In this first week together, you will learn:
WEEK 3 Building Thriving Families and Relationships (Nov 2nd)
Loneliness and feelings of disconnection are among the most common realities of the modern human experience. Yet for most of us, love is fundamental to our joy and fulfillment.
Every heart encounters wounding and struggles in the journey of life. Often we armor ourselves to protect from future injury. Yet sometimes, the emotional walls we build come to imprison us over time. In this session we will explore the journey from isolation to connection, and what it takes to build healthy and thriving relationships that last.

WEEK 4 Bringing Healing and Wisdom to Our Elders and Youth (Nov 9th)
As we heal in relation to our parents and elders, our connections across the generations develop transformative power. And as we bring authenticity and vitality to our relationship with those who come after us, we fulfill a sacred task in the cycles of life.
For those of us who are parents and elders, it is our task to guide our children so that they may live with respect for themselves and respect for others. We do this most effectively when we, ourselves, embody respect for them. Our function is never to impose our limited and limiting beliefs upon our children, but rather to help them to develop so they may give the gifts they are here to give, and to receive the gifts that others have for them, as well.
Our children build on all that previous generations have accomplished, and yet they go places we can never imagine – they carry the seeds of the future. Each new generation is here not to fulfill the expectations of elders, nor to follow any agendas that might have been conceived for them. Our children and grandchildren have their own path to follow, their own dreams to fulfill, their own sorrows to learn from, their own joys to be nurtured by, and their own love to share.

WEEK 5 The Power of Partnership: Reaching Across the Divide to Build Trust and Restore Harmony (Nov 16th)
Whatever our skin color, whatever economic class we inhabit, whatever the country in which we live, the social and political realities of an increasingly interdependent and resource-depleted world are defining realities of our lives. Commerce, ideas, pollution and perhaps even love flow across borders almost as effortlessly as the air we breathe. Recognizing our part in the web of life is not just a nice idea, but, increasingly, itâs becoming a necessity.
Whatâs at stake? In a world with nuclear weapons, with a resource consumption overshoot that is placing us on a collision course with systemic environmental collapse and with increasing numbers of people living in states of desperate poverty, the very future cannot be taken for granted. To create solutions to the vast challenges we face, we must do so not in isolation, but in crossing the divides and building healing relationships.
Partnership can be messy; it can be painful; it can challenge us deeply. And it may be one of the most pivotal forces upon which the future of a profoundly divided, yet at the same time increasingly interconnected, world may depend.

WEEK 6 Heart-Centered Activism: Discovering Your Role in Healing the World (Nov 30th)
We are witness in our times to wars, destruction, plagues and pestilence on an almost biblical scale. But what we do with calamity is up to us. We can let it shatter our resolve and our sense of possibility. Or we can use the pain to deepen our commitment to all that is good and life-giving in ourselves and in the world.
Albert Einstein famously said that we cannot solve problems with the level of thinking that created them – we need to rise to the next level of consciousness. How, then, might we engage with the real world challenges and devastation that are so prevalent in our lives and in the world today, with a heart that is open to grieve, to love and to empower our responses? What aliveness, fulfillment and joy might we tap as we find ways to meaningfully engage with the vital work of our times? And if there are more than seven billion parts to play in the healing of our world – what is yours?

WEEK 7 Loving What Is and Being a Force for Change (Dec 7th)
Buddhism teaches us to accept the world as it is, recognizing that resistance to the truth is a sure recipe for suffering. Inspired activism teaches us to respond to injustice with justice, to meet hatred with love, and to find a strategic and effective response to the violence in our world. Somehow, in the center of being and doing, of reacting and embracing, there is a dance. What can it be like to live in that dance?
In this final week, we will explore our own places of resistance to what is so, our passion for change and the courage it takes to live with a heart that is open both to pain and to possibility.

Special Bonus Session with Marianne Williamson:
The Gift of Change – Spiritual Guidance For A Radically New Life
Acclaimed international bestselling author, teacher, activist and visionary Marianne Williamson will join John and Ocean for this special live interview as she shares tools for creating transformation in our lives as a key to changing our world.
Attempting to merely change the external world, Williamson asserts, is akin to trying to change a movie by altering the screen — when dealing with the projector is whatâs needed. Building from the understanding that hidden beliefs are dangerous beliefs, she challenges us to examine personal beliefs and the attitudes they engender. Tracing defensiveness – a form of “passive violence” – to the root of war, Williamson demonstrates how our resistance to love and vulnerability keep us enslaved to the ego.
In this interview, Williamson will build on the ten bridges of transformation that can be crossed when we fix our eyes and hearts on that which is unchanging – an eternal compass of spiritual principles which can guide us on the personal AND global path to wholeness.
Special Bonus Session with Van Jones:
Living Your Purpose and Passion in a New Economy and a New World
As a globally recognized leader in human rights and the clean energy economy and someone Time Magazine named one of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2009, Van Jones will join John and Ocean for a lively exploration of how your purpose and passion connect to our current global challenges.
What lies ahead in the green economy and progressive human rights movements? How can we each play a powerful role in a healthy, sustainable future? Drawing on his work with dozens of non-profits and with the Obama White House, Van Jones will explore these questions and more in this rare conversation between these international social change agents.
