advaya is a leading transformative learning and experience platform creating online and offline programmes led by the leading minds of our time. We invite you to radically shift how you see the world and your place within it.

Established in 2015 by sisters Ruby Reed and Christabel Reed, advaya is a thought leader taking an interconnected, relational approach to how we reimagine our worlds. advaya’s mission is to re-enchant people with life so they can heal relationships with themselves, each other, the sacred, and the natural living world.

advaya’s global faculty brings together leading visionaries, scientists, spiritual teachers, artists, authors, activists, philosophers and storytellers. Programmes centre the sacred, establish relational consciousness, celebrate nature, create community, build resilience, heal division, cultivate clarity of mind and orient members towards transformation in every area of their lives.

You can sign up to individual courses live or on-demand, or become a member to access all past and upcoming courses as well as weekly member events, including the spiritual ecology study club, breathwork, and nature connection.

Welcome to your home for transformative learning.

The 5 foundations of advaya

Re-enchantment

We have fallen out of love with life. It is clear from how we treat ourselves, each other and the natural living world. advaya programmes awaken you to the sacred, animistic, interconnected and joyous heart of existence, guiding you to connect to the extraordinary that lies within the ordinary, to the mystery within the seen and unseen.

Transformative learning

Transformative learning enables you to create change that goes beyond the surface. You might have had transformative experiences, but in order to integrate those insights into daily life and truly shift behavioural patterns, we need regular guidance, inspiration, practice, ritual, wisdom and community.

Relational consciousness

Ecological and relational consciousness enables multi-dimensional healing as we move towards a paradigm of partnership and interconnection. The microcosm reflects the macrocosm. We are nature. Nature is us. advaya weaves together the inner and outer, personal and planetary, to offer holistic learning rooted in the knowledge that everything is connected.

Freedom and liberation

advaya’s programmes explore how we can free ourselves from the patterns, perspectives and paradigms that hold us back from fulfilling our innate design as individuals and cultures.

Universal wisdom, a diversity of perspectives

advaya’s global faculty of teachers represent a multiverse of cultures, histories and traditions. This is core to advaya programmes as we embrace a multiplicity of perspectives, complexity and nuance. Each year advaya welcomes over 2000 free members and participants through our bursary programme, ensuring finances do not prevent the deepening our our community committed to transformation.
