ABOUT THIS EPISODE
EVEN MORE about this episode!
What if peace isn’t something we wait for—but something we practice, one note, one prayer, one loving choice at a time? In this moving episode, Julie Ryan sits down with James Twyman—the renowned “Peace Troubadour”—to explore how music, prayer, and spiritual devotion can become powerful bridges to healing and unity. James shares extraordinary stories of bringing sacred melodies into conflict zones, revealing how sound and intention can soften hearts and transform even the most divided spaces.
Together, they reflect on the timeless wisdom of St. Francis of Assisi, the idea that singing is a form of prayer, and how an individual’s commitment to love can ripple outward into the world. The conversation weaves through personal stories, spiritual mentors, and the beauty and challenges of inclusive community living at Namaste Village in Mexico.
You’ll also discover fascinating insights into synchronized peace meditations, energetic vortices, numerical spirit communication, and non-duality—offering a glimpse into how collective intention supports healing on a global scale. Soulful, inspiring, and deeply relevant, this episode invites you to remember that peace is not passive—it’s a living, breathing practice we each carry within us.
