Nancy Ash

"Dr. Nancy Ash, DD, PhD is a modern day mystic, veteran teacher, and pioneering midwife to the new paradigm since the 1970s. Her heart-centered voice is heard worldwide as a passionate new-thought-leader, author/poet, web TV host, and former radio show personality championing peace for all women, men, and children on this planet.

"Professor Ash is worldwide Executive Director (and a faculty member) of the unprecedented NewEarth University (formally known as NE Institute), the learning arm and planetary hub for wisdom-keeping of the global movement, NewEarth Project. The NewEarth Project is a major initiative born from an international humanitarian foundation, Humanitad.org of which she is a representative.

"Nancy Ash is president, professor and graduate/postgrad advisor at New Earth Theological University, focused on Interspirituality as dean of its School of Interspiritual Studies. Her passion is to re-calibrate the old, broken academic educational paradigm with the pure-truth of new pedagogy.

"Dr. Ash attended the School of Visual Arts in New York City from 1974-77 while working part-time for CBS as a graphic designer – a two-year stint culminating in a published portfolio of magazine covers. She was subsequently awarded a BA in creative-expressive therapies from the University of Maryland in 1979. Later in life Nancy earned a Ph.D. in religious studies from Metropolitan University focused in Interspiritual Literature with the dissertation, Postmodern Oneness: Poetic Celebration of The Re-Emerging Sacred Feminine. Reverend Dr. Nancy also holds a Doctor of Divinity degree in Metaphysics and Spirituality from her ministry. That dissertation: Sacred Path of Doing a 360: A New Paradigm Rooted in the Teachings of Joseph Campbell (which expanded into her first book, Doing a 360) was an apotheosis of lifetime work inspired by the full-circle Hero’s Journey of Campbell, whom she met and studied with briefly as a young aspirant.

"Ordained in 1985, Reverend Dr. Nancy Ash has been an active mentor training and ordaining students as a senior minister at the vanguard of global interspiritual dialogue.

"In tandem with decades of multi-dimensional experience as a Oneness Advocate in the field of evolutionary consciousness, Nancy is deeply honored to serve as a founding Trustee (2015 – ) for the International Tribunal for Natural Justice (ITNJ), to ensure that human rights are fairly and nobly upheld, restoring justice-making to the people. She feels that serving in this capacity is an enormous responsibility steeped in integrity, diligence, and steadfast devotion to a better world.

"Professor Ash lives in the enchanted mountains of New Mexico with Jonathan, her best friend and husband of 37 years. She is the author of two books: Garland of Grace: Sitting with the Dying Sun, and Doing a 360: Turning Your Life Around to Follow Soul’s Purpose. While juggling her responsibilities a third book-project is in process – researching, exploring and articulating the nuances of navigating new ways of being in an envisioned new earth.

"A longtime senior student of Dzogchen under the tutelage of her beloved, renowned Nyingma scholar and humble holy man, Khenchen Palden Sherab Rinpoche, Nancy is known as a vajra yogini sharing a 360 Awakening Process on the path of Soul Sovereignty. She loves the sky, the wind, and trees… walking her backyard labyrinth and hiking the hills while communing with red foxes, ravens, hummingbirds, and other delightful friends."
