Transforming consciousness to solve the world's biggest problems

When faced with a terrible loss, Mara Gleason found her connection to the life force: the mother of creation. This would see her directly influencing the lives of inner city kids whose role models taught them that the only way to fight violence was with violence.

Following the sudden death of her brother's wife and children, Mara experienced a profound shift in consciousness. She describes this experience as living without the untruths on her mind. She felt that her ego made everything so much more complicated, and that after coming to terms with her loss, she was more attuned to the nudges of her biology.

This led her to helping people shift from the inside out, changing their state of mind in order to solve any problem they were up against. That includes tackling gun violence in the inner city of Chicago and beyond, with her One Solution Foundation.

Invitations

  • Cultivate a relationship with your biological signals to eat, sleep, take a break, and rest.
  • Listen to those nudges; don't push through and try to solve everything quickly.
  • Slow down, take a breath, and let life unfold the answers for you.

Sometimes it's okay to not have all the answers.
