Rose Diamond is an author and a pioneer in Transformational Learning who is passionate about contributing to this amazing time of global transition we’re living through. She’s co-director of A WHOLE NEW WORLD, a Transformational Learning and peacemaking resource, which has evolved for each individual involved, out of a lifetime getting to know and understand the journey to authenticity; developing skills in various aspects of it, and supporting others to develop these skills. A WHOLE NEW WORLD has grown from many hours, days, weeks, years of creative thinking. In 2006, the year before she came to the US, she started a Transformational Learning Community in New Zealand, linking people around the country, and she identified six pillars of Transformational Learning, or six areas where we need, individually and collectively, to develop new attitudes and skills, in order to grow a positive future from the values of co-creation and the new consciousness. Her new book, “Living your Passion: How Love- in-action is seeding a Whole New World” is a timely, visionary book, created from interviews which show how ordinary people are transforming the world by having the courage to live their passion.

Rose is a lifelong educator who has lived much of her life in groups: educational, therapeutic, and spiritual. She has worked as a personal and professional development trainer in many different roles and contexts in England, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand, Australia, and now in the United States. With training and many years experience as a Gestalt therapist she has a thorough grounding in working from presence and awareness, in the “here and now”. To this she added deep ecology and social justice, peace education, success education, spiritual practices and study. Rose is an integral thinker and practitioner who has the ability to synthesize diverse ideas and approaches to create services which are uniquely inspirational, practical, and full of heart and soulfulness.

All her life, Rose has been asking the questions: “What does it mean to be alive on Earth at this time? What am I really here to do? What unique contribution can I make?” The answers have come as she chose to uncompromisingly follow her inner calling and live her life as a process of experiential learning. Her lifelong passion for writing began when she was a child and later in life became the motivation for her soul journey. She made a conscious choice in the early ‘90’s to follow her creative process wherever it led her and, seeking wild nature and meditative silence, she took sanctuary in some beautiful places, first in the Highlands of Scotland, and then in Aotearoa - New Zealand. She made her home at the top of the South Island and wrote and published her first book: Migration to the Heartland: a Soul Journey in Aotearoa. New Zealand was a place of spiritual deepening and community participation for Rose. A committed spiritual adventurer, she came to Virginia in 2007, to explore relationship with soul friend Woods and here she completed a second book, Living your Passion. She has recently been granted a visa to stay and work here for three years as someone with extraordinary ability as an educator and writer, and with Woods and others, is co-creating A WHOLE NEW WORLD and FIRE SEEDS PUBLISHING, a direct distribution network for transformational books and resources.

Rose offers creativity, writing, and transitions coaching; workshops and seminars. Her mission is to use her skills to bring people together in co-creative service through this time of global transition; to contribute to global peace by finding peace within; and to build a more peaceful sustainable society in which everyone is free to express their unique gifts.
